The Political Consequences of Loneliness and Isolation During the Pandemic
Masha Gessen
The New Yorker
Overview
In this beautiful op-ed, Masha Gessen presents a reflection on the impacts that loneliness and physical isolation have on the reality of many citizens in the world despite all the connection possibilities offered online. The author reflects on how they foster a disconnect with the physical common world and limits the construction of a common sense and what political consequences can result from this shrinking of the common and shared world experienced by citizens.
