BW’s Saturday Article Link> The Real Culture/Politics Power Dynamic

What does this have to do with the topic? Admittedly little. I just needed an image and it’s Aquaman riding dolphins to chase the Penguin. I need no other reason.

We’ve heard that “politics is downstream from culture”, the idea that affecting the culture may in turn affect how people act politically. Making a case against that expression is  author and commentator Brian Newmeyer, who makes the case that politics has more control over culture than you might realize. I’m not saying it’s necessarily wrong, but it may actually be more cylindrical, an oryborous of political culture. Culture can affect people when it sneaks past politics while the current climate will affect what draws people in culturally. So everybody’s right…except the people who are wrong.
