Have peons ever had control over the world’s affair? I now have hard time believing, between 1950 and 1990, that voting, demonstrating or participating in parliament meant choosing the future for your country. It must have been a marvelous time if it was true. Sometimes when I speak to old French people who held activist reunions in Paris in March-May 1968, I get that feeling that it was true, that they were building the rules for how they should be treated, how they should intervene abroad, and most of them also donated 2 years of their life for humanitarian development in Africa, building wells, etc. They seem to believe it so strong. The explosion of the Rainbow Warrior taints the picture a little, but shows how little the spies could do, with amateur leverage. Did pitchforks ever influenced the course of affairs? Maybe yes, during a short period of time. As a generation Y, having lived through the social media times, having seen printed media say blatant falsehoods about feminism and manufacture uproar that doesn’t exist in real people’s feeling, I do feel that we’re living in a sock puppet show.
