Generation Idiot offers us a deep dive into the demise of intergenerational society and the rise of the teenage mentality, which has caused great damage to politics and society.
In the sequel to his international bestseller The Cultural Battle , renowned writer, political scientist, and lecturer Agustín Laje presents Generation Idiot: A Critique of Adolescent Centrism .
According to Augustine, 21st century adolescent-centered ideologies are on the rise. As a result, teenagers are ruling the world. They govern the shape of culture, structure the form of politics, inspire changes in our language, impose their aesthetic preferences, and dominate the post-industrial imaginary and the consumer system. Basic institutions, such as the family, are also out of place in these adolescent generations.
The book is divided into five chapters
- Chapter 1 – An investigation into the role and power of the elderly throughout history and their decline with the advent of modern societies
- Chapter 2 – The characterization and explanation of “adolescent society,” the postmodern idiot, and the great theme of identity that is omnipresent and ingrained in our society
- Chapter 3 – The role of fashion, entertainment and digital technology and how they have affected and shaped 21st century culture and politics
- Chapter 4 – The expropriation of family power in society, the omnipresence of indoctrination in education and the devastating socializing power of mass media
- Chapter 5 – Augustine closes by offering a very different model of rebellion for the New Right (which he again expresses his support for), how to escape political idiocy, and truly rebel against the established system.
If you are tired of the most blatant indoctrination by the media, schools, universities and, above all, by our children, you will want to read Generation Idiot , in which Laje offers a particular model of rebellion for the New Right. Let us escape political idiocy together and rebel against the established system. Let us get to work!
