I think what we are seeing, somewhat, is a global reaction to Authoritarianism, which has basically the same attributes from the US to the UK to Hungary, India, the Philippines, China and Brazil.

Marcus,

Your comment about televisions is part of my point about

resources and energy. I see the massive institutions and

structures that are in place to bring me globally syndicated

programming as being expensive and doing what it can

to constrain difference. Yet, places strike me as being

remarkably different. I don't really see the outrage around

Floyd as being a reliable sign for cultural differences as the

outrage strikes me as a kind of media event. Voter turn-out,

similarly, seems to rely on nation and imagined communities.
