My (bad, I guess) analogy is that in many ways they are not pretending any longer or at least are badly keeping up appearances. The mask and the gloves are off. The irreality we are presented is becoming common knowledge (in the sense that you know that I know, I know you know that I know and so on) regarding the production the 'blob' is putting on.

Not a bad analogy at all. I got it as soon as I read it. Beautiful.
