In this sharp and provocative essay, Ulf Poschardt exposes a new social character that is shaping and paralysing our society: the “shit citizen”. With an ominous mixture of arrogance and subservience, the shit citizen presents himself as the morally superior saviour of the world – but in doing so, he primarily defends his own privileges and interests. Poschardt, one of Germany’s most renowned journalists, shows how the shit citizen has established an unprecedented “hegemony” in the liberal, saturated societies of the West. This has not only permeated institutions such as culture, media and into a deep crisis. An essential read for anyone who wants to understand the social change of our time.
