Meet Big Rob. One of the social media warriors taking over governance of our societies. Trump is the godfather of all of these opinionated numpties, their hero. They’re righteous, stupid, and often abusive and violent. Big Rob even goes to the homes of his opponents to film himself for social media, to fire up his supporters against them. He leads a mob of incoherent rage, because rage is the business model, you gotta be fighting all the time, to drive engagement. Likes. Most towns are now driven by similar warriors. Trump devotees, though they won’t advertise that. The high school culture that social media copied is now adult society. Kidult society, a culture of likes and followers. The school playground. All of them claim to be acting for ‘the people’, something that doesn’t even exist. It’s just a FB group or other social media group they’ve set up. You know who invented ‘the people’? Adolf Hitler. His ‘volk’, as in Volkswagen. ‘The peoples’ car’. Hitler was hugely popular, selling the same anti-establishment message. Down with the elites! Also the Woodstock counter-culture kidult message. Figure it out, people. As these warriors like to say.
