I’ll take one “Global mass hysteria” for one “revolution” :). I think it’s fair to say we are living in a historic moment. Mass media is amplifying the moment in a peaceful way. It’s a good thing. And the BS filter is exponentially better with each generation.

So “global mass hysteria”, was possible with every new medium. Lenin famously used a recording of his voice to inspire a massive uprising under one banner. Same thing happened with radio, printing press etc..

The scale, my friend, is unprecedented. And peace, does not scale well.
