Quick takeaways

  • The stability of conservative and progressive views in politics is breaking down, requiring a different kind of aesthetics that challenges the familiar and opens up new possibilities.
  • Cancel culture, while a response to the limitations of politics, often repeats the same dynamics it seeks to challenge, reducing solidarity to individual choice or rigid categorizations.

Deep dives
