Since the start (of Rhetoric at least) we’ve known ethos trumps pathos trumps logos.
While the means of manipulating each may have changed, I don’t buy that logos ever assumed dominance- as enlightened as we wish we once were or could indeed be.

In the end, we no longer operate in a marketplace of ideas.
Platforms run a marketplace of feeling, where attention, not evidence, decides what rises. Emotional charge beats truth every time. Politics adapts to that logic, producing hollow performances instead of functional decisions.

That’s a fair TL:DR of the Brit version of what happened at Pristina airport (heavily influenced by the well-publicised reminiscences of the two individuals you mentioned). Watching it in real time from Moscow led me to a different conclusion though.

Cynefin offers a more expansive response framework than mass re-orientation.
Not necessarily mutually exclusive, but certainly enables greater skirmishing in the contest for the initiative.

Right? Why is no one exploring the near-total failure of these protests, despite having pretty much the most generous political and media environment imaginable?

My sense is that we are at an incredibly unstable moment in history--almost no outcome should be written off as impossible. We're in the middle of a tech bubble and democracy failure. Things are looking flakey around the edges, to put it mildly. 3/x

It's really key to understand this: ***they don't need actual backlash of any substance or scale to run this cycle***. All they need is a few random comments, which they can always find, which means that you can basically run this cycle at will. You don't need libs to play along at all!
