“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

Like I said before... Our problem is that the capital's "disciplinary matrix" hasn't changed yet... and so no radically changed "future" is possible. We're trapped in a "cycle" of Enlightenment modernities. Toffler's "Power Shift" hasn't kicked in yet.

Oscillation or vascillation? Metamodernism seems to use quite a lot of words to say nothing.
Are these the new Pavel Jerdanowitch's and Pierre Brassau's of our time?
Indeed. They have me wondering...
Originally the term was directed towards explaining the Alt-Right... but the white nationalists kinda tarred the entire genre.
The alt-right is just 1930s left-wing progressivism with Harambe memes
...and MetaModernism is likely simply the latest trend in Madison Avenue's exploitation of Cultural Capitalism.

Perhaps "metamodernism" is just modernism hoisting post-modernism on it's own petards.
Like curing solipsism with a brick to the face.
Exactly.
