This by @AntonJaegermm is also excellent. He brings such a textured analysis to the idea of “project state.” Honestly what drives a lot of the discourse is a yearning for a “project state,” instead of the flimsy market solutions we are fed.

I think there is an inflection point around 2017, where Red Bull Arena moved away from being a very focused place on the sporting event, to one trying to cultivate a more festive (maybe cheesier?) environment for the fans. That explains a bit of the vitriol from #RBNY fans.
