Joyce was on it, if Beckett's to be believed;
He [Beckett] told me - and this was a great surprise, certainly a great disappointment - that Joyce didn't like Swift. Moreover, he added, Joyce had no inclination for satire, contrary to what one might think. "He never rebelled; he was detached; he accepted everything. For him, there was no difference between the fall of a bomb and the fall of a leaf . . ."

I'm talking about vast swathes of people inadvertently ending up on the plane of consistency due to information overload then being wrenched off it by certain events, e.g. what's currently happening in Israel and Palestine.
You could argue you don't need a fancy Deleuzian concept to explain that though. There are just rhythms to everything, inevitable peaks and troughs. And of course extraordinary events are going to galvanize the public.

Read a critique of Baudrillard the other day where he was referred to as a "male hysteric" and it seemed spot on. The same goes for Virilio and a lot of other male writers and thinkers in that sort of territory;
'Baudrillard finds himself disempowered by the endlessly proliferating images which confound the real. His position becomes that of the male hysteric, due in part to the fact that intellect and reason cannot make sense of the post-modern "world of hallucinations" where image, reality, and surface representation blur into each other.'
Dissensus is a forum populated by male hysterics.
