I was being semi-silly while also serious, poetically juxtaposing your superlative description of Facebook as a "walled garden" against the concept of the Overton window.

"Garden" sounds luxurious and peaceful. IMO, Facebook is like a modern mind-prison boob-tube, but stupider - akin to gladiators in the circus where it's supposed to be fun but really it's traumatic.

    Yes. The prissy bitches used to be fringe and far outside the Overton window, that now includes them - prominently. You'd understand that if you'd read any of the links
