ANGUS: The Politics of Isolation

Charlie Angus / The Resistance - July 31, 2026

EXCERPT: "There have been countless books written about the political crisis of our time, but one small book stands out. Hyperpolitics, by Belgian historian Anton Jäger, puts forward the thesis that the dramatic failure of left and centrist politics is rooted in the increasing isolation of people from each other — “the atomization” of society.

We are living through one of history’s greatest paradoxes.

Never before have we had such unprecedented access to information in a world wired together with the ease of a click on a screen, yet people feel more disoriented, more isolated and more detached than ever. . . . ."
