The growth of social media has provided ideal conditions for feelings of anger and frustration to be expressed and shared. Social media have become part of our economic and political system, they do not offer a product, but a platform for everyone’s opinions. As a result feelings of resentment are being used and exploited by populist and authoritarian leaders. Come and learn from philosopher Joseph Vogl how the capitalist system behind social media benefits from fueling resentment.
