PEOPLE OF EARTH
I may have lost contact with the people of Earth.
The Labor Party used to be cooler. People seemed less managed, less branded, less terrified of saying the wrong thing.
I miss something about the 70s and 80s.
Not everything. God no.
But there was a rawness then. We talked to each other. No social media. No permanent performance. No algorithm training everyone into public outrage, victimhood stardom, mob righteousness, or personal marketing.
Just people, in whatever configuration we happened to arrive in.
The early Pride marches in Sydney. Bodies in the street. Fear, courage, music, awkwardness, sex, politics, friendship, bad hair, good boots.
Life was not yet owned by screens. Screens were still a novelty, and modern algorithms hadn’t been invented yet.
Now everyone seems to be influencing, curating, defending, accusing, branding, reacting, or recovering from being reacted to.
I am aware this is still a lot of words for the average modern thumb.
But I’m 70. I remember paragraphs.
I don’t hate the present.
But I do miss the ordinary human mess before it all became slop.
