Long worthwhile thread. I’m reminded of a point that (I think?) Foucault makes in Surveiller et Punir that, historically, the aristocracy was ostentatiously visible & the common person visible, but modernity has inverted this. Seems even more clearly true now than when he wrote it. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:web:pluralistic.net/post/3mx5mg4kmwc2e
