Spectator Syndrome

Spectator Syndrome is when you do nothing with your life.

You just spectate other people and kind of take it day by day.

Days and days go by and not much has changed.

You talk about the things you want to achieve and dream of, but don't actually take opportunities or seek change.

You live on "some day isle"

Some day I'll do this..

Some day I'll do that..
Person 1: I started going to the gym, you should come with me.

Person 2: Yeah, some day I'll come, not now, I'm a bit busy now.

*1 year later*

Person 1: I'm starting a business, why don't you start a business?

Person 2: Yeah I actually want to start a business, I was telling my brother about that the other day, hopefully I'll start soon.

Person 1: You know what? I think you're suffering from Spectator Syndrome.

Person 2: What?! No I don't!

Spectocracy

Spectocracy (n.): A system of governance or societal control in which power is exercised through spectacle, image, and media performance, rather than substance, democratic legitimacy, or rational discourse.
During the rise of the new media age in the early twenty-first century, America twice elected a corrupt and vile reality show star and piece of vapid orange fap trash as their president, thus completing its transformation from democracy to spectocracy.

Spectracide

The act of turning mass killing into a visual spectacle—when death is staged, recorded, and distributed as propaganda or entertainment. Killing not just done, but performed for an audience to numb outrage and manipulate perception.
Example: The drone footage released by the military was pure spectracide, turning tragedy into a show.
