Humour has always been a way to cope, but isn’t the human experience also empathy? Or has the endless pursuit of virality reduced us all to jesters in the court of the internet?
We have perfected the art of turning genocides and wars into 15-second videos straight from hell. The suffering of real lives, turned into fodder for an algorithm whose only goal is keeping your eyes glued to the screen. It’s strange, isn’t it? The humorization of horror.
Out of all the lenses to see the world through, we have chosen apathy. If all the world were a play, would we not be the bystanders, the watchers, the vegetables, unwilling to do anything but laugh as the stage we stand on falls apart?
Maybe it’s time to stand up for others, before someone makes a joke out of you.
