Politicization of all aspects of public and private life is nearly complete. From the meat and potatoes of schools and policing to the more amorphously metaphysical debates about identity and speech, the passion of politics has colonized each feature of social and civil discourse. This tendency to turn everything political – fostered by a political industrial complex working with a media industrial complex (a subject for another time) – has finally bled into the financial sector, laying the ground for one of the last places where people of nearly every stripe still participate together, i.e., the economy, to bifurcate along political fault lines. The current avatar for this? ESG.
