"The Mirrorworld Is Becoming Our Reality"

"'Despite claims of post-partisanship, it is right-wing, often far-right, political parties around the world that have managed to absorb the unruly passions and energy of diagonalism,' says Klein, 'folding its Covid-era grievances into preexisting projects opposing "wokeness" and drumming up fears of migrant "invasions". Still, it is important for these movements to present themselves (and to believe themselves to be) ruptures with politics-as-usual; to claim to be something new, beyond traditional left-right poles.'"

Darren Loucaides at The Guardian discusses the emergence of "'diagonalist' politics."

And Thomas Chatterton Williams at The Atlantic explains the rise of the "woke right."
