Trying to reduce the interpellatory power of these fantasies to a mere effect of fake news is an attempt to disavow this basic fact."

It consists in drawing false symmetries between political extremes and idealizing the centrist consensus that prevailed until 2008. Ultimately, this attitude boils down to supposing that people have taken temporary leave of their senses, but everything can carry on as before as soon as the sensible guys are in charge again."
