Postmodernism

The infinite self-irony and denial of absolute truth of postmodernism has had a hugely negative influence on the world. From the Brexit vote, to the rejection of equality in favour of 'positive discrimination', to the political movements of truth denial and perceived legitimacy of misinformation, the shadowy shapes of postmodernism are ever-present like an evil spirit. 90's artists such as Banksy were and are an ultimate root of so many of the world's present day problems. Art drives culture. Culture drives society. Politics follows.
