LOYALISM WILL WIN EVEN IF IT FALLS OUT OF FASHION
Loyalism is not just the practice of living through the 2000s, but is one of the first attempts to sum up the results of this experience. Because drawing conclusions as to the results presupposes the existence of some sort of intellectual effort based on a certain level of education, it is not actually desirable. At the same time, discussing the bearers of loyalism and defining this phenomenon as something akin to a frame of mind characteristic of the so-called educated class (or the ‘thinker class’) in terms of loyalism does not require a greater share of education and thinking activity.
