Private Thoughts in the New Fade

what the hell are private thoughts in the New Fade?
because it seems as if everyone has to know everything now
and they need to share it and have it shared,
all of it, all the time, and if you're not doing that
then there's something wrong with you,
something abnormal and strange
and not to be trusted, as if you're
a secret deviant and perhaps serial killer
waiting to happen; and the thing that's stranger still
is that hardly anyone actually wants to hear anything interesting,
so that if you have something more than the mundane to say
you will be ignored in this great social imperative,
if you go off-message, if you contradict, if you challenge
what even the rebellious are saying
