Lonely When Political

Yes, because “being politically active” now means posting dumb memes online. People are “politically active” by sitting alone and feeling aggrieved.

This is a complete perversion of the initial meaning of “politics” which in its original Greek meant “affairs of the polis”, or “shared life together”. Today, people are most political when most alone. Everybody is too sensitive to discuss politics with others, so it’s only when they are alone with their phone that they let themselves express their political beliefs. And those beliefs are limited to vague, directionless pouting because that’s the only thing one can produce in solitude.
