The era of the political was one of anomie: crisis, violence, madness and revolution. The era of the trans-political is that of anomaly: an aberration of no consequence, contemporaneous with the event of no consequence.

Summary

This quote suggests that the previous political era was characterized by a state of normlessness, with multiple crises, violence, madness, and revolutions taking place. In contrast, the current trans-political era is depicted as an anomaly of little significance, happening simultaneously with events that hold no importance. This implies a shift from a tumultuous era filled with significant political changes to a time where political anomalies are overshadowed by other non-relevant happenings.
