“Individualized politics have not-so-coincidentally evolved alongside moral decline and a general lack of discipline among individuals. Alongside this shift in the political consciousness of the masses, many of whom have been taught to perceive themselves as entirely singular free agents in the world, a rise in political media has followed. Politics is its own genre of entertainment. There are infinite idea markets fine-tuned for an ever-shifting mass audience of special snowflakes. Reading books is not encouraged but crass thoughtless debate is. In a situation like this, introspection and reflection are the last priorities on the list.”
