4 January

Party-goers continuing to dance and film with their phones the fire that was about to kill 40 of them. To get a good vid for the socials. It’s the perfect window into our entire culture. All threats to our collective well-being are just raw material for our beloved self-expression, on the socials. Nobody actually does anything, nobody knows what to do anyway. Somebody might do a podcast on it. Or we avoid all of it in an escape into toxic positivity, of ‘focusing on the good’, like everything is fine, it’s only people being too negative. Like reality is just our feelings. Kidult culture. The culture of the feels. Permanent adolescents unable to do adult things, because adult culture was removed.
