Twilight of Democracy — Belief, Loyalty, and Democratic Decline (Audio)

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.

This episode explores Twilight of Democracy by Anne Applebaum as an analysis of how democratic societies erode through cultural alignment, emotional incentives, and elite participation.

By examining how shared reality collapses and alternative narratives take hold, the book reveals why democratic decline often feels gradual, voluntary, and justified by those participating in it.
