Like spilled ink politics has oozed over culture in the past half a decade, absorbing more and more territory as the years pass by. You will find mixed reactions to this advance. Some are heartened by this new reality, their eyes sparkling at what they deem progressive success. “Technically, everything is political,” they muse. By this logic, a political veneer translates to a veneer of enlightenment.Others, however, do not share the same comfort and worry that the encroachment of politics into culture is a bad omen, stunting and blunting society rather than advancing it.
