Justice - Stress

apropos the russian hate-clips. the french indie-electronica groups Justice's new music video is stirring up controversy. i don't want to say to much, just watch it.
the russian youtube violence and this video taps into the same phenomenon. what do these new media do with us as observers (a question which is adressed in the last few seconds of this clip)? the distance and anonymity of the internet creates a habit of distance and allows people to bring that distance into their real lives and violate other people. the medium is the message?

Interestingly, Kanye West posted this on his Tumbleblog. I think there are several similarities between this video and his for "Flashing Lights."
