@kensanata @natecull Aziz Rana has a really great essay in the last N+1 on this idea of American centrist power (and left marginalization) being based on cold-war binaries: https://nplusonemag.com/issue-30/politics/goodbye-cold-war/

Facebook-Purge is a proof-of-concept for automated pissing in the lake of surveillance data: https://github.com/stardothosting/facebook-purge

@nightpool This quote nails it:
"The worst part is that as an artist, it feels like your own fault. We’re used to a world where if you put something out there that’s good, people see it and share it. But that’s just not true in this world. Someone can make something really good, and just because of some weird algorithmic reasons, or if it’s not designed specifically for Facebook, it doesn’t do well. And then it becomes impossible to know what a good thing to make is anymore. "
