I think the 'mood of the world' is indeed changing and very much so in a controlled and planned manner. The very form internet living has taken coupled with the now ability for everyone from toddler to granny to have a screen/device always at the ready giving them their opinions and offering them up 'offers' based on tracking their patterns, both physically in the world as well as digitally, is an amazing tool to hone and curate a world view. We live in a time that is increasingly formulated by a series of clicks and flashing images.
It can seem a scary time.
I always find it funny that those who cry bullying and not open-mindedness will then quite easily decry and digitally stone others who do not follow their own line of thinking not seeing the hypocrisy in that or understanding the action is the same as that which they claim to abhor.
Yet, people, the human animal, has always had this button and it has always been pressed by the few in power. It simply manifests itself differently today, but twitter hate is really just throwing that stone in the public square glad that it isn't you up there on the pyre.
Interesting to really think about.
