Because grima wormtongue the prediction engine whispers of horrors to come in the kings ears? Take the catastrophic eain flashfloods. They have ramped up hard recently.
And then there was the morroco, greek and italian floods.
Its expected to hit mountanous areas the hardest, devaluing cities in valleys like they are in a warzone. And this is the smallest, obvious event series kept on the downlow, because society already falls apart, loosing its structure.
The panopticon is a desperate attempt to controll the only thing controllable in situations to come.
You must be new the internet was toxic before their was an internet. I've seen BBS fights where people would find out where someone lived and shoot up the place, set it on fire or attack another person. Some BBS scenes attracted some shady characters.
The ways that data has been weaponized to amplify insecure people's fear of social change and "others" in order to vote against their own economic interests are novel and fascinating. Yes, obviously the pattern has played out before the internet. But if you approach it with curiosity rather than writing it off because it looks similar on the surface to something you've seen before, it's actually very interesting.
And worse here, the very worst have figured out how to keep making reality pay attention to the absolute garbage misery show. A newsgroup dust-up might have caught some small coverage, but the way the troll-forces of the world have mobilized and radicalized their shitizens at scale, and the stochastic terror they have focused on creating: it keeps the rest of reality all too glued to the sick farce programming the aggressor forces against the world anti-campaign on.

Someone who is clutching pearls at trolling shouldn't be trolling others. It makes you look silly and makes your point moot. If trolling is the worst thing then why troll? It sounds like you are fighting a battle within yourself.
People speaking out against immoral behavior and people in power/media trying to cover it up by dismissing their claims and trying to undermine their argument by misrepresentation? Gamergate was just the internet hitting a critical mass of people where the clamoring of people was big enough to make news outside of the bubble.

That existed sort of largely outside the public sphere. There was a digital dual in those old times.
