Homo Iratus: The Perpetually Aggrieved Modern Male (PAMM)
matthewhorgan.substack.com
What follows is a description of a nascent masculine type, a rough taxonomy of a digitally enhanced breed. This man’s primary habitat is social media; his main expression perpetual moral outrage and disbelief. PAMM can’t stop talking. PAMM talks to anyone and everyone. He must express himself and where he stands on the important issues of the day. He wakes up and scours social media, our perpetual grievance machine, for fresh outrage; he sifts red-hot coals of confirmation carefully prepared for him by partisan news sources. For PAMM, now is a time never before experienced in human history, precarious in its fragility, the start of the end, the beginning of the real decline, the resurgence of the worst of mankind, an atavistic leap into barbarity. He feels alone, besieged, the sole bulwark against apocalypse.
