Humans are inherently social creatures with a need to converse, yet we live in isolation and mental distress in greater numbers than ever before. Does the ready desire for argumentation online that some thrive on come from wanting to feel, well, something — anger, certainly — rather than passively watching the world whir by?

The corporations have had it their own way for most of this century but two recent events have startled them. One is the election of a US president who says he is an economic nationalist.
