Dess tabun utmanas och förlöjligas, dess officiella historieskrivning utsätts för nyfikenhet och kritik. Kanye Wests kreation NHH och stödet för Shiloh Hendrix är exempel på det förstnämnda, där förbjudna ord oväntat snabbt förlorar sin laddning. Den neoreaktionära strömningens andliga fader, […]| motpol.nu
