EMOTIONAL NIHILISM

Irrational emotionalism first and best exemplified by Diana and Oprah (you don't even have to know their surnames to know who I speak of) has programmed our scared new world into believing that a hash tag is all that is needed to stop evil and/or violence from happening. Just  like the post modern hymnal 'Imagine' by Lennon, if we can just 'believe', all will be well.

Magical thinking! Evidenced in the Christian community as much as in the secular, pagan community and it is particularity dangerous amongst the political elite:

"On internet social networks crucifixions, torture and the slavery of women are selling points used by the Islamic State to attract followers to a let’s-pretend world of Play Station-Islamism—which is actually all too real. Yet a photo of an accidentally drowned little boy was used to accuse Europe of intolerance, heartlessness and racism and successfully directed politicians into disastrous non-decision-making. Counter-terrorism cannot be waged by forces who do not believe in the justness of their cause or, as in our case, no cause. Dying for nihilism has never had much appeal.
