Schematically, mass politics represents the classical mode of industrial modernity; postpolitics coincides with Western deindustrialization and a new phase of globalization; antipolitics is the offspring of the chaotic management of the 2008 crisis and its aftermath. Somewhere in the middle of the 2010s, amid the Trump-Brexit moment, hyperpolitics emerges. — Anton Jäger, Hyperpolitics, 48
