Cars were burning in the street of Vancouver in British Coloumbia, Canada. People were rioting like when it happens during the G8 where politicians meet and decide, where a smoke column was rising above the city after many people started wrecking downtown. The result of this terror was a hockey game that saw the Vancouver Canucks loosing against Boston. That's all it took to show the world how powerful stupidity is. But what's more terrifying was the number of people that were afflicting without any purpose or without any reason, just to destroy what's theirs.
People abandoned morality to pursue futility in an attempt of self glorification while taking pictures next to burning car wrecks, and many of them laughing and smiling as if it was a game they were entitled to participate - "It's my city and I will destroy it!"-.
It looks like society is slowly slipping into an hegemony of destruction while acknowledging it and doing anything to reverse course, because it is getting harder to cope with each other, with our priorities that don't match our expectation and our persona changes alienating others; and nobody wants to take the blame. Not even stupidity.
