Ours is an age of moral imperatives

This one is a very important trend to watch. We live in the age of incessant moralization which is gradually turning everything into moral imperatives. These days you can hardly take a breath, or abstain from taking one, without women being raped and infants butchered as a result of your choices.

Given that these are moral imperatives, you can neither ignore them nor compromise on them. Moreover, the bulk of global anger/rage/outrage generated by the spread of fast internet across the world is "noble rage". It's driven by moral/righteous indignation. Very important to keep in mind in order to understand the psychodynamics of rage within the modern society

Worse, the hijab as a symbol justifies the rape of women who refuse to wear it. It is time to discard it like the chastity belt.
