Back to politics! Yes, Inti, yes. All these phenomena are related. Modern and pre-modern forces coexist and get into conflict. Modernity with its finesse looks like it could tolerate pre-modern traits and treat them as "folk culture." Pre-modern forces don't buy that treatment. They want to recover power. And that means war in many cases. Right now, the "Forward To The Past" pre-modern world alliance seems to be winning... Identitarian, woke, cancel, etc., mixed with Talibans, Putinians, XiJinPingians, and all flavors of militaristic regimes get together to smash Modernity. Because Modernity is not about the use of technology (the chinese, russian and gulf-emirates and else, trick with their welcoming to glowing vasarelyan urban environments). It's about freedom, political, economic and individual freedom and all human rights and that's not a core value of pre-modern ways of life...
Dystopian Hollywood movies seem to be right in their predictions. Genetic and memetic reservoirs of ways of life during thousands of years, could prevail over the few centuries adventure that has been called Modernity. It feels like losing our USB from the 70s and 80s, with its modern MFL, and landing in hands of ultra guys with their fanaticism and collectivism, so far away from free-thinking and personal creativity. But that lack of freedom in the long run will kill creativity, and with that science, and with that technology. So they will lose their circumstantial power baked in their use of technology but not in its creation; and the adventure will be back, or the adventurers could also win this present war.
Well well… I have to say that I love and agree with the positive mood that your post ends up with. But about putting identitarian, woke and cancel in the same bag with taliban etc… the last thing I can tell you is “vas a seguir, abigail? ” Cancel culture is a silly invention of protrump idiots. I believe that you know better than that. The same thing with identitarian politics. These are real and alive straw men. I am positive that I can rebate any example that you can possibly produce of those two “things”. And don’t get me started with woke. Plenty of venezuelan males could do with a little bit of waking up from del sueño machista en que viven… they should wake to the reality of emancipated women that are fighting to keep their gains and expand them.
