Trudeau's shirtlessness is a symptom of a larger phenomenon in western culture. His generation has lost the capacity, or at least the willingness, to distinguish between the private and the public. They are also obsessed by the ideal of “equality” and disowning any vestiges of tall-poppy syndrome lingering in their veins. So whenever possible, even those who achieve high office wear jeans and t-shirts as a sign of how “equal” they are to everyone else, and taking selfies with all and sundry is their way of proving it.
