Pre-fox had the ground laid by social media I think: their brand of divisive and emotional narratives wouldn’t have been possible without SM culture’s polarisation effect.

Emotionally I am with you, but there’s too much anger as it is. We need more civil debate, more calm engagement in discussion from the other side. Anger just feeds the Meta and X algorithms what they want. Starmer is right to be measured: his job is to engage the whole country, not you and me.

From The British Academy article in August on Arendt's "banality of evil:"

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule,” she (Hannah Arendt) also says, “is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced communist, but the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction no longer holds”.

Chilling.

Journaling is just writing at its simplest. Bullet journals emphasise tracking: you can buy the official billet journal on Amazon. Personally I prefer expressive writing, which is writing emotionally about what’s on your mind. It stimulates awareness, mindfulness, introspection.

Agree, it is time to really commit - though this is much easier said than done with FB’s profiling and tracking technology. Even people without meta accounts can be profiled. I set my Apple devices on the highest security settings, and use antivirus software too.
