/365/ It’s So Over (Again) ft. Ryan Zickgraf

On the end of politics.

 

Is the craziness of the past years, since 2016, ebbing away? Is the establishment back in charge? Journalist Ryan Zickgraf joins us to argue that, yes, the period of ‘hyperpolitics’ has passed. 

 

What is the implication of this? It seems that people are exhausted by the politicisation of everything. The upsurge in engagement in formal politics may be dwindling. But the culture wars are as hot as ever. And the venues for ‘escape’ from politics are more politicised than ever. 

 

Accelerated social decline means we aren’t exactly going back to the 1990s, but is history over all over again?
