One of the major themes of MB over the past decade has been the emergence of fake politics.

Its driving policy engine shifted from rational history to irrational censorship, dressed up in postmodern guff that overtook universities; French theorists’ notion is that if you alter ‘discourse,’ then you alter reality.
