Episode notes
The normalization of the idea that voting is irrelevant is a significant concern, particularly when prominent figures suggest that future elections won't require participation. This rhetoric aims to condition voters to accept a reality where only one perspective matters. The discussion reveals an intricate web of autocrats across various nations, united not by ideology but by a shared desire for absolute power, dismissing any checks on their authority, including legal or democratic processes. They leverage a network of mutual support, sharing strategies and technology to suppress opposition and maintain control, thus constituting a formidable challenge to the principles of democracy and rule of law.
