i wonder about how some segment of people have shifted from opposition (political and/or cultural and/or affective) to cheerleading the order they once opposed---maybe one thing that happens is that the spaces bundled in parentheses get split apart along the way, or the notion of opposition gets reconfigured, or maybe something just happens that disillusions---the narratives would always be particular---but i wonder about how people who have made this shift think about their psychological and political trajectories, either as they are doing it or after the fact.
it is a complex transition, i imagine--i wonder how folk rationalize it.
one thing for sure--winston churchill has nothing of interest to say about it.
