Access to power over other racial groups is their preferred political currencyThere is no shortage of interest in the voting patterns of the white working class. Of particular note is how this group – especially since the sea change of the 1960s – finds themselves so consistently on the wrong side of progressive politics. The national preoccupation with the white working class’s affinity for rightwing conservatism has propagated countless , and that are often or or . Their almost exclusively centrist white elite authors plead for us to understand how those in the white working class feel , and that they turned hard right because to their economic anxieties.

The animated sequel sets up a tug-of-war between physical and digital play for children but is still eager not to be an anti-tech screedFor more than 30 years, Pixar’s signature Toy Story series has been entertaining children while giving voice to their parents’ anxieties. This is especially pronounced in the film’s sequels, as the living toys who dedicate their lives to the happiness of their owner/child experience all different sorts of potential and parent-paralleled obsolescence, from physical wear-and-tear and a child reaching young adulthood to the toy equivalent of empty-nesting (still hanging around the playroom but no longer anyone’s favourite). It’s only natural – maybe even a little belated – that would address the encroachment of technology, which continues to make its way to children earlier and earlier. So many years after the tech breakthroughs that allowed Toy Story to become the first computer-animated feature, and Pixar to become a household name in family entertainment, has the formerly Steve Jobs-owned company turned against the kind of innovation that built its success?

Annabel is smiling to herself, too, and jumping in and out of waves.“Mori,” she shouts, “it’s like being beaten up by an old friend!”
