A Going the and Postal: of psychoanalytic reading media social death drive
"If the punchy, claustrophobic anti-sociality of platforms in the first lockdown recommended an especially dark vision of the future, the Action for Dark Lives block uprising of the late spring felt like its wondrous opposite—a future by which tools were giving an answer to and being structured by the functions on a lawn, as opposed to those events being organized by and formed to the requirements of the platforms. This was anything worth our time and commitment, something that exceeded our compulsion to write, something that—for a moment, at least—the Twittering Device couldn't swallow.
Maybe not so it was not trying. As people in the streets toppled statues and fought authorities, people on the platforms modified and refashioned the uprising from a road movement to an item for the consumption and expression of the Twittering Machine. That which was happening off-line needed to be accounted for, identified, judged, and processed. Didactic story-lectures and images of well filled antiracist bookshelves seemed on Instagram. On Twitter, the most common pundits and pedants jumped up challenging details for every single mantra and justifications for every action. In these concern trolls and reply people, Seymour's chronophage was literalized. The cultural market does not just eat our time with countless stimulus and algorithmic scrolling; it eats our time by creating and marketing people who occur simply to be explained to, people to whom the entire world has been produced anew every morning, people for whom every settled sociological, clinical, and political controversy of modernity must be rehashed, rewritten, and re-accounted, this time around making use of their participation.
These folks, using their just-asking issues and vapid start letters, are dullards and bores, pettifoggers and casuists, cowards and dissemblers, time-wasters of the worst sort. But Seymour's book suggests anything worse about us, their Twitter and Facebook interlocutors: That we want to spend our time. That, however much we would complain, we discover pleasure in countless, rounded argument. That we get some kind of fulfillment from monotonous debates about "free speech" and "stop culture." That individuals seek oblivion in discourse. In the machine-flow atemporality of social media marketing, that seems like number great crime. If time is an infinite resource, you will want to invest several ages of it with a couple New York Situations op-ed columnists, rebuilding every one of European thought from first maxims? But political and financial and immunological crises pile on one another in series, over the backdrop roar of ecological collapse. Time is not infinite. None people are able to pay what is remaining of it dallying with the ridiculous and bland."
