An Enemy of the People seems pretty damn prescient for a 140 year old play. Scientist discovers pollution has poisoned and sickened town, because the authorities including his relatives have been negligent and greedy, and nobody believes him, nobody wants to believe him, and everyone is turned against him by (checks notes) his greedy relatives and other authorities, including the press. Sound familiar? Greed vs. Truth. Populism in the worst ways.
I think I'm going to have to read me some Ibsen.
