I've read the OP twice and I have no idea what it's supposed to be about.

You actually have the logic backwards here. You don't "pick beads depending on your political alignment". You pick beads based on whatever criteria you want (aesthetics, effects, lolz, whatever), and your political alignment is then determined by that selection of beads. In other words, you don't just use the beads to express your politics. You can use the beads to discover things about your political affiliations you didn't already know. The goal of such a system is to make the organizational possibilities concrete and available for computation and manipulation.

This only works for the very high or the very stupid.

So in this system there's this idealized organizational system called Polytopolis, and it's all digital and wireless and sleek as hell and works really well for nearly everyone,

Oh no not this again.

You remembered! I'm so flattered. I'm happy to autograph anything (and I mean anything) you'd like.

I remember it being impossible gibberish.
