  2. After all these years, even the best news media are still systematically amplifying and inevitably promoting every lunacy uttered by someone whose entire strategy has successfully relied, from the start, on making the headlines, inciting outrage, getting constant attention, and taking all the oxygen in the newsroom.

  5. Populists, autoritarians, nationalists and fascists of the world keep conquering public opinion by sowing the seeds of hatred, anger and fear using brute digital force.

  6. Naomi KLEIN offers “a kind of equation for leftists and liberals crossing over to the neofascist and authoritarian right that goes something like: narcissism (grandiosity) + social media addiction + midlife crisis ÷ public shaming = rightwing meltdown.”

    “And if volume is the name of the game, ex-leftist crossover stars who find new levels of celebrity on the right aren’t lost – they are found.”
