Blueskyism: Performative Echo‑Chamber Persuasion

The author argues much progressive discourse on Bluesky simulates 'persuasion' while enforcing ideological conformity, making it performance for in‑group audiences rather than engagement with opponents. He contrasts this with Charlie Kirk’s campus appearances, which sought to persuade hostile audiences, and distinguishes persuasion from propaganda (far‑right) and performance (progressive) modes. — It reframes social‑media politics by clarifying that real persuasion requires mixed or hostile audiences, while platform‑bound performance mainly mobilizes in‑group identity.
