atomized=wholly fragmented, tending toward negative identities, only able to form alternative social or political networks with great difficulties...incapable of coherent resistance , withdrawn into the smallest possible spheres of social interaction as a defensive posture...
features like that.
the public image of an authoritarian regime, which tends to rule by fragmenting the population and by doing so makes them infinitely more malleable.
not that far from american conservative ideology in its total, implacable hostility to the public as concept.
