[Patreon Exclusive]

 

What comes after a decade of populism? Alex Hochuli talks through his new essay in Damage, issue 2. This is episode is the third part of our Emotion Sickness series on the politics of feelings. Click here for part 1 and part 2.

• If we are disengaging from politics, what is the associated feeling - resentment or resignation?

• Why are our times "hypermodern" – and why is this exhausting?

• What can the examples of the 'great resignation', 15-minute cities, and postliberalism all tell us about the ways people are withdrawing from modernity?

• Why do we need to decelerate to save modernity?

• How might we gain control of time?
