Dovunque, in tutto il mondo, centinaia o migliaia di milioni di individui, tutti eguali, ignari dell’esistenza di altri individui, tenuti separati da mura di odio e di bugie, eppure quasi gli stessi.

يتم تبجيل الفايسبوك في أوساط الناشطين السياسيين والاجتماعيين على أنه يسهّل عملية التعبئة والتأثير ويوسّع مجالات الدعم الشعبي لقضاياهم، وهذا يحمل الكثير من الصحّة، لكنهم نادراً ما يناقشون أو ينتبهون لتأثيره على المدى البعيد على الثقافة السياسية بشكل عام. هذا التأثير يكمن في استبدال النشاط السياسي الحقيقي الذي يحقّق نتائج على أرض الواقع بضجيج الكتروني افتراضي لا يحقّق الكثير. ويمكن تلخيص هذا التحوّل بالكلمة الإنكليزية التي وُضعت لوصف النشاط السياسي الالكتروني: Slacktivism. الكلمة بالعربية تعني الكسل الذي يتنكّر على أنه نشاط سياسي. وهذا ما يشجّع عليه الفايسبوك.
اليوم لم يعد من الضروري أن نقرأ وأن نكوّن آراء حقيقية تجاه القضايا المهمّة وأن ننشط على أرض الواقع لكي نُوصف بأننا “ناشطون”، يكفي أن ننقر بضعة أزرار على الفايسبوك لكي نبدو كأن كل هاجسنا في الحياة هو إنقاذ العالم. على الفايسبوك، الجميع ناشط، لكن قلّة قليلة هي من تحارب فعلياً لقضاياها على أرض الواقع.

In saying no one knew about the ideas implicit in the telegraph, I am not quite accurate. Thoreau knew. Or so one may surmise. It is alleged that upon being told that through the telegraph a man in Maine could instantly send a message to a man in Texas, Thoreau asked, "But what do they have to say to each other?" In asking this question, to which no serious interest was paid, Thoreau was directing attention to the psychological and social meaning of the telegraph, and in particular to its capacity to change the character of information -- from the personal and regional to the impersonal and global.

If I were asked to name the deadliest subversive force within capitalism--the single greatest source of its waning morality--I should without hesitation name advertising. How else should one identify a force that debases language, drains thought, and undoes dignity? If the barrage of advertising, unchanged in its tone and texture, were devoted to some other purpose--say the exaltation of the public sector--it would be recognized in a moment for the corrosive element that it is. But as the voice of the private sector it escapes this startled notice. I mention it only to point out that a deep source of moral decay for capitalism arises from its own doings, not from that of its governing institutions.
