Modern Social Media Feeds on School Shootings and Violence - Better than the Good Old Says at the Colleseum





I have been trying to avoid the media lately. But something came to me recently how the blood, gore and violence of ancient times, face to face, and smell the blood in the public arena is poorly recreated presently but multiplied to fulfill some natural need to witness and or gossip on the activity of neighbors, via news and social mediums. 

Who are our neighbors in this global age? Certainly not people who are different from ourselves? That do not eat the same things and or smell like fellow members of the one true tribe - Our Tribe!

These days with people not in real time or real place and the American Town Square dead and buried, the only real thing in some people's minds is to get attention in the only means possible in ratings hungry for profit social media and new media forums. Getting attention is getting nude in public or killing masses of people. Shock to get their attention and then ten seconds to sell them something. Marketing. Marketing. Marketing. The three arms of the new sacred Trinity of everyday faith?

Gawd knows how the violence of the outside world, eternal war, warlords and global corporations had not touched the minds of Americans in their North American Island til recently and then awakening to the outside global reality with cell phones, the Internet and cable TV exploding on the scene in the last 20 or so years. 

Slowly but surely like the post Stoneman Douglas people campaigns against CORP sponsored profit off of violence and death via guns, there is a dialogue among small cells of disaffected groups that can congregate on the Net and feed on each others common pet peeves. AI is slowly but surely gleaning the hidden messages of hate, fear, violence, discontent into new marketing algorithms of the future? The holy Dollar be praised! Hey-men!

But before individual mass murderers with guns are working out their place, for the vigilantism I see on the horizon of armed groups with a plan and or mission statement to make Moral decisions for civil authorities that no longer can make "Moral Decisions". Make "moral" decisions locally. Not unlike the "White Caps" "whitecapism" of southern Indiana at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries before northerners realized they could blend in and join in with those southerners in the Klan without much distress.

And these new vigilante groups have not yet jelled into common purpose of commons hates through the right coded words and or messages, unless the LEADER can continue to stir up forever the hate pot the right way and cancel a national election because "indictments" are only valid when the Pimp in a Monkey Suit in the White Monkey House is "out of office".

Etc. And or whatever.
