The Collapse of Modern Activism and Social Movements: What Went Wrong?

Activism is an important thing. It sits within the core values of Democracy – Freedom of Speech, the Power of the People, and Equality. However, with the rise of social networks, conspiracy theories and misinformation on the internet and even worse – on leading TV news channels – we should all stop and wonder what happened to Human Morality and what is actually going on behind the scenes of those so-called social movements in the past decade. Are they completely genuine, honest and authentic? Is it really humankind at its best, fighting for the greater good? Or is there something else going on under the surface – bias, manipulation and misinformation – leading to the suspicion that some forces are hijacking our minds, our hearts and souls, steering it in different directions based on their own Agenda.Welcome to the "Looking For Meaning" podcast, where we discuss how to navigate and better understand global current affairs, social activism, conflicts in the middle east and how it impacts our everyday lives.
