But people hesitate to also ‘blame’ the masses. To slightly détourné [Jean-Paul] Sartre, hell is other peoples’ tweets.There’s an entire world full of people who are toxic with bad tropes, ignorance, distorted views of reality—all of us, really. For example, everybody talks about Facebook being used as a tool of ethnic cleansing in Myanmar, but that potential was already there. I mean, the horrors of the 20th century occurred without the assistance of Zuck.But I do think we’re in a unique clusterfuck here in the 21st. When I was born, in 1952, there were approximately 2.5 billion people in the world. Now there are almost 8 billion, and maybe a quarter of them have access to this means of global communication. That’s a social singularity. That’s a radical decentering of the possibility of any consensual sense of the world and of the possibility of predicting what kind of politics and social habits might emerge. Probably just more confusion. And we celebrated that in Mondo. But it seems to be mainly a bad mess.

At this point its just trite>"le consumerism, le abocalyps is le boring"Why dont these people just kick the bucket already? The whole world would be better off without the generation that singlehandedly destroyed everything people before them fought for.
