[Ads-l] The Trumpocene

[Betty Birner]

And here in the Trumpocene, we're also experiencing a Freudaissance:

That people see what they want in Freud is fitting: The first psychoanalyst is still, more than 80 years after his death, a transference figure. As Sophie Kemp pointed out earlier this year in a piece for Dirt, the appeal of the Freudaissance for certain "downtown gamines obsessed with daddy" may be precisely that he has a retrograde and sexist image.

So I'd like to also propose the idea of an impending new epoch - the Trumpocene - that in the spirit of the era itself is based solely on a few thoughts held loosely together with hyperlinks and a general feeling of malaise.

In the Trumpocene, the epoch-defining impacts of climate change are nothing more than a conspiracy. Even if these impacts are real, then they're probably good for us.
