My use of #hashtags is confusing a lot of people, good to have some signal in the noise on this subject https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext am using them in the way the #WWW was designed to use them.
We typically found little to be confusing about your hashtags, once you explained them. For example, we didn't understand what you meant by #stupidIndividualism until you linked it to #postModern notions of individualism.
We absolutely love your #dotCons tag to describe the likes of the #CAGEMAFIA (eg. Cloudflare-Amazon-Google-TwitterBuyer-Microsoft-Apple-Fakebook-IBM-Akamai cabal).
We will continue to use that hashtag until the threat of #technoFeudalism is over.
Touche. Yes, individualism in many forms is bad, but there is a #postModern form that went unnoticed and indeed celebrated for decades and that is the, "if-you-believe-it-then-it-is-true" form, and it was basically allowed to permeate all forms of media, and the effects of which still affect us today.
And the danger of this becoming a major cultural force that's separate from standard modern liberal conception of individualism is that postmodern radical individualism that doesn't even agree that objective facts exist which contributes to the "two screens" problem we've got.
Am I on the right track?
That seems to be an example of it.
What do you mean by "two screens problem"? Is that where two people can see different statistics that can lead them down a path of towards division? Or something else?
My polemical take on this is 99.9% of the #postmodernist and western #Buddhists I have meet and worked with have been at best a waste of space and at worst nasty and destructive... on a less polemical view, yes dogmatic "no such thing as reality" is likely the problem.

Yes, apparently a lot of #PRManagers and #writers for #politicians know how to write to two audiences at the same time. It's really one of the most #dishonest of skills.
Most of the time it seems to revolve around saying as little as possible and repeating #focusGroup-tested three-word-slogans, but entire speeches can be written that mean different things to different people.
I remember one election in the 2000s, and one of the things I said was "the worst thing a politician can ever do is actually tell you what they plan to do; if you don't say anything people can imagine whatever policy they want in your words. If you say what you're going to do then they can disagree with it".
Imagine if, by law, a candidate had to outline concrete #policies to be duly elected.
