What does it say if we spend our days gazing at fake images of fake suffering heroes from wars never declared, in places we know little about for reasons we can't articulate? Stirrings of national pride, oh & indignation "Why don't images like THIS ever trend?" Be the 100,000th "like" don't see the irony of that either!

Isn't it dystopian? Like a heavy-handed sci fi? I'm as unsettled by the popularity as the images themselves.

I guess one way to process this would be to write horror of it.
