>we are the Greek Chorus
That exact metaphor is how I see it, too.
The function of the Greek Chorus in classical drama is to express an emotion; they tell the audience how they are supposed to feel or react as the drama unfolds. The narrative device was used as recently as the 1700s in the music of J.S. Bach (I'm thinking of the role of the chorus in Bach's St. Matthew Passion and the Magnificat). Maybe still used in 19th century opera.
Early TV adopted the Greek Chorus concept when they started adding a laugh track in the early sitcoms. We've become so inured to the TV telling us how to feel, I'm sure most don't even notice the laugh track or other audio subliminals.
Those of us who don't have a TV still notice it alright, though.
Q's and POTUS's misspellings, capitalizations, and other punctuation marks that aren't traditional English typography are all markers.
Some of the markers we have noticed, relating one utterance to another or putting two utterances in the same context.
Others, we don't know what the hell they mean (yet). <<< and >>>, [[ ]] ( ) quotation marks, parentheses, angle brackets, square brackets, ^^^ carets, double colons :: :: etc. // \
Some of them draw little diagrams. Others just mark things to pay attention to or look for correspondences with other places in the crumbs/tweets.
"Be the autists I know you are", kek.
Kek. Double kek.
