Why Do We Cheer for Violence We Watch Through a Screen?
In Tirana, rubbish bins are burning, traffic lights are being smashed and protesters are clashing with police. On social media, some viewers greet these scenes with enthusiasm.

And how willing would we be to support it if, instead of holding a phone, we were standing in front of a police cordon?
