I swear by Pelevin’s explanation of discourse and glamour in Empire V. He tried to explain that the western world is still centuralized, but instead of stuffy orders being forced onto people, he explained that the west uses glamour. Ads and the media show us what is good and what is right, selling us ideas using money to produce the idea of sex. He explained that talking about shit is discourse or glamour without sex or money, and that in the west people are powerless without using energy to create glamour.
It's clear to me that there have been times when imageboards have generated glamour, but it rarely happens and when it does half the time it's inane shit like countryballs, vtubers, or the MLP fandom.
