"If the punchy, claustrophobic anti-sociality of tools in early lockdown proposed an especially black perspective for the future, the Movement for Dark Lives road uprising of the late spring felt like their joyous opposite—the next in which systems were answering and being structured by the activities on the floor, rather than these activities being structured by and designed to the needs of the platforms. This is something price our time and loyalty, a thing that surpassed our compulsion to create, anything that—for an instant, at least—the Twittering Equipment could not swallow.

Perhaps not that it wasn't trying. As people in the roads toppled statues and fought authorities, people on the systems adjusted and refashioned the uprising from a block action to a thing for the usage and reflection of the Twittering Machine. The thing that was occurring off-line must be accounted for, explained, judged, and processed. Didactic story-lectures and pictures of properly stocked antiracist bookshelves seemed on Instagram. On Twitter, the typical pundits and pedants sprang up challenging explanations for every slogan and justifications for every action. In these issue trolls and reply people, Seymour's chronophage was literalized. The social market doesn't just eat our time with countless stimulus and algorithmic scrolling; it eats our time by making and marketing people who occur only to be explained to, visitors to whom the world has been developed anew each morning, persons for whom every settled sociological, clinical, and political argument of modernity must be rehashed, rewritten, and re-accounted, now making use of their participation.

These people, with their just-asking issues and vapid start letters, are dullards and bores, pettifoggers and casuists, cowards and dissemblers, time-wasters of the worst sort. But Seymour's guide implies something worse about us, their Facebook and Facebook interlocutors: That we need to spend our time. That, but much we might protest, we find pleasure in endless, rounded argument. That individuals get some type of achievement from tedious debates about "free speech" and "stop culture." That people find oblivion in discourse. In the machine-flow atemporality of social networking, this appears like number good crime. If time is an infinite source, why not spend a couple of decades of it with a couple New York Times op-ed columnists, repairing all of American believed from first axioms? But political and financial and immunological crises heap on each other in sequence, over the backdrop roar of ecological collapse. Time is not infinite. None folks can afford to spend what's left of it dallying with the foolish and bland."
