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 unprecedent- ed “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 es- sential read for anyone who wants to understand the social change of our time.
