Music of the Masses - A Video
They love to point the finger. Are we all guilty?
Watch the very short video HERE first. A little more on the background and context below.
I've written in the past about the rise of Social Justice Warriors and many others who form groups and lay blame in particular directions. Simplistic views with simplistic solutions.
Many of those poems and satire were written when social media was still relatively new. At that time, people were still very much into forming cliques and posting rants. Those groups have evolved. Social media is very much a part of the overall media framework if not more so than the mainstream in terms of numbers and influencing the population. We've seen it transform the world really, when it comes to polarizing society, forming a very much Black and White, Us Vs Them mentality. It has affected Governments, company policy, laws, you name it. No more ambiguity, complexity, rational discourse.
We are more divided than ever. Still it goes on and will likely never change. The arguments continue. Any dissenting voices are blocked and worse, people are cancelled. Entire livelihoods taken away. We've created a world where some are frightened to speak at all, while others have too much power and rule with impunity. Of course, no one includes themselves when casting judgement. The chasm continues to widen.
Where do you see it all going?
Love to hear your view.
