How Democracies Die
As the United States flirts with the destruction of its democracy, we’re given the opportunity to study a bit about world history and learn what happened in certain ancient empires.
We see, to our horror, that there is nothing at all different between the corruption that America is experiencing today, and what those failed governments went through.
It’s actually worse today, because a) social media makes it possible to promote disinformation at close to the speed of light, and b) the collapse of our educational system and the subsequent growth of ignorance makes this garbage spread like cancer.
