This guy does a nice job of explaining the energy crises and deindustrialization facing Europe. Added bonus, it’s short for people who have a problem with lenth of time.



As the material conditions degrade for Europeans, it will be interesting to see how much an aesthetic politics buttressed with media (propaganda) assets can cope. Lots of lifestyles being diminished. A mad scramble to maintain social positions. How will politics react?

My guess is reactively. More narrative control as reality, etc.
