<blockquote>The long, dark night of the end of history has to be grasped as an enormous opportunity. [...] From a situation in which nothing can happen, suddenly anything is possible again.</blockquote><br/><br/>It is certainly impressive how Fisher was able to be so synthetic and articulate in expressing all these ideas, without sacrificing any of the pop culture references he wanted to include. By linking Žižek, Lacan, Deleuze and Guarezi to Kafka, MTV, The Truman or Supernanny, he was able to diagnose some of the symptoms of the early 2010s political landscape, with a clarity that still feels very relevant today.
