Alt media and social media provide a parallel ghost universe where these ideals can be shaped and the limitations of animal-man world can be shed. The ghost existence can start to seem real, especially because their are other ghost people there to share them with.
The ghost world, though, has very little immediate impact on day-to-day reality, except to possibly breed some paralysis and maybe even unhappiness. Quite a lot of social media political theoretical discussion centers on what the mainstream calls "conspiracies". The pejorative sense in which the "conspiracy" label is used makes sense, not because there are not people conspiring, but rather because it subtly demotivates and passifies the person who knows about "the conspiracy" or who knows how "the system" works.
