Guilt Complex

Theodore DALRYMPLE
The selfie is perhaps the defining cultural artifact of our time. Me and the Mona LisaMe and the PyramidsMe and the Colosseum, with the emphasis on the Me, of course; at least COVID-19 has put paid to all that for a time, as well as to little Greta’s public harangues, which somehow manage to combine the qualities of the zombie and the hysteric. Alas, it could all come back.
