Simon Elmer is the Head of Research for Architects for Social Housing, an organisation focused on critiquing housing and urban policies, and he has authored several books on topics like biosecurity, fascism, and architecture.
I loved his piece about the woke death of art, Culture Wars: The Piper and the Archer, in which he argues that art has been repurposed as propaganda to advance corporate and state agendas, losing its critical role.
He adds that identity politics are now enforced through laws, education, and media as an official ideology, leading to censorship, suppression of dissent, and erosion of freedoms.
In fact, it's worse than that. It's about the death of Europe.
And it's not organic.
It's by design.
