We are fucked. Literature is turning into a leftist political project. Thoughts?

Janitors: this is on topic. Please don't remove it.

>So what will 2021 bring forth from the literary world? Hopefully more poems like Noor Hindi’s 2020 clarion call “Fuck Your Lecture on Craft, My People Are Dying,” which simultaneously attacks M.F.A. culture and crosses the brightest red line in American politics: Palestine.
In other words, calling for more activism-literature. It all seems so inartistic for me. This writer is basically hoping that more people will become hacks writing for an audience.
