Thumb of Disease is about tech gadgets like computers, and cell phones, video games etc. - things you use your thumb to operate. It's about how they are used to spread "filth across mankind" and are used to "fulfill despotic desires." They are monolithic culturally - everyone uses them, and they're oppressive probably cause people are addicted to them. Kinda of a bummer of a song.
