I was thinking about the old Classical Theism forum earlier...
I feel like, not so long after the old forum disappeared (this may be just my memory misleading me), politics 'caught fire' and started consuming more of my attention and reading time. Rather than discussing A/T metaphysics, it became all about A/T and other brands of political philosophy. I haven't read that much philosophy or theology apart from that in the intervening time.
Since Wokeness took over in the Anglo-sphere the general cultural/philosophical environment seems to have changed a lot; debating with atheists and sceptics on metaphysics and more religious topics has fallen away, things have gone in a completely different direction.
Now I know a lot more about White Supremacy and White Fragility, about Integralism, CRT, epistemic violence, Foucault, Gramsci, De Maistre, Julius Evola... Hegel and the 'Young Marx'.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
