Digital media and the evolution of modern revolution
The author reflects on the evolution of social movements and the role of media in modern revolutions. Contradicting the idea that the internet empowers the people, the text argues that digital platforms have become tools for mass manipulation, narcissism, and social isolation.
While revolutions are now televised through social media feeds like TikTok, Instagram, and X, this digital mediation often promotes desensitization. Despite this, the author notes a counter-movement: a growing desire for direct, collective human contact and an aesthetic of resistance that seeks to move beyond the screen.
