RT @GallopingSkirt: Superb piece. A lot to think about with the rise of “cute authoritarianism”. Covers tech, health, design and more. https://twitter.com/mrewanmorrison/status/1636263736213139456

RT @cultfree54: New forms of power are evolving which are using cuteness to mask their real purposes. We need to confront these agendas directly. It’s high time we stripped away the fluffy veneer from the authoritarianism that is on the rise, all around us. #WorthReading https://areomagazine.com/2023/03/15/cute-authoritarianism/

RT @AreoMagazine: “Kitsch is more than just an aesthetic: it is essential to the exercise of totalitarian power, which relies on the superposition of a false world upon the real. As Kundera says, ‘Kitsch is the absolute denial of shit.’” The latest from @MrEwanMorrison. https://areomagazine.com/2023/03/15/cute-authoritarianism/
