I wonder if we need a way to reach ordinary people who don't think as deeply about this stuff, who struggle to see what's happening unless it's an acute terror incident, and who aren't able to follow chains of causation past one or two links, especially when they lead through obscure subcultural neighborhoods. I hear myself speak, or I read pieces like yours, and it makes sense to me, but I think maybe to people outside the domain it feels too abstracted. This is not a critique of your piece, it's just something I've been thinking about.
