Protests, demonstrations, riots, strikes; unrest, disobedience, condemnation - never before has protest activity been so intense. How did we get here? What circumstances caused such rage in life and social networks? The reasons for the revolt are related to deviations from liberalism, chosen as the only political model (worsening inequality, worsening working conditions, cuts in public services, political scandals...). But the violence that humanity now faces is unprecedented because it is expressed in a new subject: the tyrant individual. Familiar with the latest technological advances since birth, with access to the Internet, smartphones and shocked by the digital revolution (apps that make us feel like the world is at our feet, social networks in which my word is worth everyone), this new person believes that he can influence the course of events. In his brilliant essay, Eric Saden provides a tragically fair analysis of the collapse of our common world in order to rethink the terms of the social contract that can keep us together.
