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 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imagined_community>.
