Episode Details

Anton Jäger unveils “hyperpolitics” — a new era of short-lived, digitally fueled activism that dazzles but rarely delivers lasting change. Drawing from his Marxist lens, he contrasts today’s fleeting movements with the deeply institutionalized “mass politics” of the 1930s, where civic life was woven into every thread of society. The decline of unions, cultural shifts, and the fall of Berlin Wall birthed “post-politics,” where individualism reigns but collective power fades. Today’s movements, though emotionally potent, lack the internal structure to sustain impact — and while both left and right operate within this chaotic framework, the right often wields more influence thanks to private funding, turning money into the ultimate political engine.
