Irrelevant matters which are promoted to distract people from more central issues and to use up their time and energy while getting nowhere.

A "hamster wheel", literally a wheel for a hamster to run in and get nowhere, is used metaphorically to describe an age old tool of statecraft. In the 2020s it has been used particularly often to promote the official narrative of the "killer pandemic".

Etymology

Jonathan Jay Couey used the phrase in 2024.[citation needed]

Distraction

The primary function of hamster wheels is to distract.

Data collection

A secondary function of hamster wheels is as mass surveillance tools, like the rest of social media.

Rise and rise
