What we're seeing is the Millennial generation's incarnation of the sixties culture war, the terrain of which has been formed by the outcomes of that last epochal shift. Reactionary and masculinist impulses are expressed not as a Nixonian belief in patriotism and family but in allegiances to all-consuming hobbies and the right to infinite pornography. Likewise, the progressive and feminist impulse that once agitated for freedom of expression and collective liberation now sounds censorious, joyless and addicted to the narcissism of small difference. Ultimately though it's not so much about politics as it is about millions of people; atomized, hyper-stimulated and severed from history like never before, detaching their ego from the physical world and crafting it around electronic space.
