The app for independent voices

Thanks for saying so (I guess? I really wish I was wrong); unfortunately, I am speaking mostly from experience in this case.

The best I can think of are a book I saw lying around my parents' collection called "The Genius Famine", and MAYBE a more recent thing called "Kill All Normies", which was a satire of the Gamergate debacle. I've only skimmed the former and don't really know anything more about the latter; I can say that Millennial Internet-culture is nothing if not "high-context".

Actually, I can think of "one" more thing, which is actually a combo of two supposedly-unconnected things:

Now that I look for the second, I cannot easily find it, but it was something like this:

resortlifestylemag.com/…

From those latter two one may arrive at the following thesis: In bringing over French pseudointellectuals to "save" Puritanism-stricken American arts and academia, did they cause the cultural equivalent of Australia's infamous cane-toad scenario, wherein parasitic memes that would've been kept in check in their native lands were brought somewhere where they weren't?
