Haha, if the notion that the interests of "mankind" can be placed above those of "man" for one is a key feature of the modern age I suppose the modern age started roughly with the death of the dinosaurs. I assume that what they're going for (unless they do mean to mention it as an example something good that came of the Revolution ... which wouldn't make the overall claim any more true, and anyway the context is all negative) is "evil collectivism takes away my human right to not give a fuck about anything but myself" but the way they're phrasing it it sounds like a concept that's Older Than Jesus (and quite popular at that). So ... they are either trying to put everything in the broadest possible terms to make the programme attractive to absolutely anybody or they're seriously clueless? Excellent.
(On a sidenote, the top of the page says they made a comedy drama about the colourful scope of threats to the life of war journalists? A comedy drama! Why not a call-in show? If you would prefer to see a bomb death next week, call ABC-01. If you're more in the mood for amoebic diarrhoea, -02's your number.)
