2nd Azkali Paradigm Shift

The 2nd Paradigm Shift was a major shift in thought, culture, art, philosophy, and ideology, following the 1980 Azkali Plague. It followed the 1st Paradigm Shift, in the 1950s and 1960s.

After the end of the 1980 Azkali Plague, death as a general topic in art became much more vivid, frequent, and unrestrained.

Political Ramifications

Following the outbreak, and subsequent deaths of approximately sixty-percent of the Azkali population, almost 25 million people, Azkali politics shifted massively to both extremes of the political compass. With the re-establishment of an Azkali nation-state, far left and far right political parties became mainstream, as the remaining Azkali populace became increasingly radicalized to both sides.
