This past election cycle has given us a clear look at major shifts in the media marketplace. We’ve heard so much about how podcast and social media were a major factor in the electoral process, not to mention in the culture at large.

I’ll admit it: I’m concerned about much that is posted on all of those platforms.

But there is an upside as well: A massive faucet has been turned on that allows the flow of information that can’t be controlled by a media elite.

The ruling class doesn’t fare too well on X. On X, even the peasants can have their say, and if you look at the medium you understand the peasants do, in fact, have their say.

And: There are a whole lot more peasants than there are aristocrats. Or to use an adage from times past, it takes a peasant who knows how to use a pitchfork to throw out a tyrant. The aristocrats—well, they’ve never held a pitchfork. And if they did, they wouldn’t know what to do with it.

Needless to say, we live in interesting times.
