Long time no see ...
Yesterday as a non content creator, news media, independent media, Gen-Z, CJP protestor, Delhi Police, UP Police, Haryana Police, RAF, Member of the ruling party of India, member of the opposition party of India, andhbakt (right wing) uncle, opinionated indian aunty, molested women in dellhi, molester men/cops, Tri color and danda supplier, concerned parent of a protester, Bus driver of the bus going to detention site, CP shop owner , barricade transporter, supreme court judge or lawyer or Gyanesh Kumar.... i watched CJP protest related instagram reels for eight hours straight.
I am sure there has to be a term in psychology or may be psychiatry for it. And hopefully a medication or rehabilitation plan too.
If the Indian Gen Z protest does not ring a bell, give me a minute to read the menu of Global indignations to choose from. It can be ICE brutalities in America , Ukraine-Russia war, Iran-US war, Sudan civil war, French student protests, unrest is Albania, looting in Milan and a IRL(In-Real-Life) Genocide.
For the Marco-thinkers Islamophobia, misogyny , anti-semitism , human rights violations , human trafficking, brutal regimes are healthier and flourishing then ever before. The transgressions against humanity has reached a level that we had to set on a path to to dismantle the International Criminal Court.
This what you read till now is the new definition of Affluence.
I may be one of the one percent, who can afford to be an Instagram vigilante who can speak for one and all atrocities because i am not a victim of one. Bombs are not being dropped on my child, neither my country is being attacked by a super power. My son has not been wrongly incarcerated without a trial for 6 years or my daughter is brutalized by a powerful pedophile.
This privilege is Outstanding. It not only comes from being safe, but also not having assets, influence or fanbase that is reduced to half as soon as there is a whiff of opinion.
The "privilege" to witness anguish from an unverified moral high ground with no powers or action plans. The despondency of seeing the retrogressive evolution of basic human rights and humanity while we take leaps in weight loss drugs, technology, space travels and flying car.s The absolute lack of empathy to people who do not belong to our country, race, religion, ideology or whatever other excuse we create to demonize them...
Oh and the convenience of witnessing the disintegration of humanity in a reel format with a viral trending banger.
