For those who’ve covered the rise and demise of the political generation that gave us the Iraq war, Guantánamo and Abu Ghraib, this sudden concern with what is, and is not, “real” is telling. For it was the Bush-Blair generation of politicians who derided their opponents as the “reality-based community”. Bush adviser Karl Rove famously told journalists: “We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality . . . We’re history’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”Nothing demonstrates the scale and rapidity of the historical change we’re living through better than the sudden inability of politicians attached to the neoliberal project to do exactly this: to create reality. Once powerful people are becoming bystanders to reality.
