Welcome to the age of anger | The Guardian

This article by Pankaj Mishra in The Guardian is a fascinating article on the challenges to a liberal society.

Essential reading to understand the stuff that’s going on right now like the Brexit, rise of the European far-right and Trump.
It’s a Long read but best analysis I’ve read.

The largely Anglo-American intellectual assumptions forged by the cold war and its jubilant aftermath are an unreliable guide to today’s chaos – and so we must turn to the ideas of an earlier era of volatility. It is a moment for thinkers such as Sigmund Freud, who warned in 1915 that the “primitive, savage and evil impulses of mankind have not vanished in any individual”, but are simply waiting for the opportunity to show themselves again. Certainly, the current conflagration has brought to the surface what Friedrich Nietzsche called “ressentiment” – “a whole tremulous realm of subterranean revenge, inexhaustible and insatiable in outbursts.”

Welcome to the age of anger  by 

The seismic events of 2016 have revealed a world in chaos – and one that old ideas of liberal rationalism can no longer explain.

I just made the #Saveourculture 3 playlist on Spotify, so if anyone wants in on this action

 

The third instalment of #saveourculture welcomes a hero of modern house music as Jamie Jones touches down at Great Suffolk Street. Known for his definitive Hot Natured imprint and Ibiza residency under the Paradise banner, since breaking through in 2012, Jones remains one of the world’s biggest DJs for his infectious brand of party tunes. A close friend of Jones and regular DJ partner, Craig Richards steps up to join him on the decks, while enigmatic wizard KiNK brings his acclaimed live set to round off the Arch 1 bill.

Arch 2 hosts one of techno’s most established forces, Luke Slater. Commonly operating under several aliases like L.B. Dub Corp and Planetary Assault Systems, Slater’s career has a painted history spanning the whole of techno. The veteran DJ headlines Arch 2 bringing an onslaught of brute force as Luke Slater. He is joined by Ostgut Ton stalwart Function. With a sound forged most recently in Berlin’s Berghain and profiled last year on his celebrated mix for the club, Function can typically be identified for throwing a dynamic blend to the tested 4/4 paradigm. Luke Slater and Function are joined by fabric resident and tech-house aficionado, Terry Francis.

All profits for the night will be donated to fabric’s #saveourculture campaign.
