Zef35-1006 | The Overton Window is a Really Dumb Concept | |||||||
| Quote: |
Anytime somebody proposes a political initiative or a protest movement

Window....
You dont hear about the Overton Window because it is a useful model of policy or opinion formation. You hear about the Overton Window because it justifies the importance of countercultural discourse activists (I propose to call them "Overtonians") and the kinds of things protesting, tweeting, petitioning, podcasting, interviewing, publishing, and yes, even substacking they get up to. | |||||||
