We live in a world of diminishing meaning - and yet paradoxically we have never been more able to articulate our views. Thanks to social media, every one of us who has an opinion can air it - even if it is just a conviction that Elvis is alive and well and living in Boksburg. We can all report the news as it happens, and exhort our nearest and dearest to summon help to intervene, as happened to Hugo who was sent to “bel die polisie” .
We can all show our solidarity with crises; whether existential or environmental through the easy artifice of changing our profile picture and announcing “Je suis” appending the trend at the end. It’s something we, as South Africans, are very good at doing, especially on social media where the engagement is limited to a couple of moves with your thumbs to post it, and then the odd desultory flick afterwards to see if anyone has liked it and even retweeted it.
For the older, less millennial types, there’s the enduring allure of a march, complete with T-shirts, a bit of toyi-toying , the handover of a memorandum and the overwhelming self-satisfaction of a job well done and a conscience salved.
