Fantastic. How the Internet has created the epistemologic crisis that drives people to authoritarianism, about Poland's successful attempt to dislodge the authoritarian party that had begun the country's authoritarian trajectory (and how UK Labor did similar things: campaign in areas traditionally not supportive, reclaim patriotism, find a place and community for all). I think Harris/Walz are doing the same thing- I hope so. The only problem is that unlike the right-wingers in Poland, the GOP knows it may very well lose and are probably planning to steal the election, which did not happen in Poland (as much). Applebaum: "It was Poland's last chance."
Fantastic conversation and series. Looking forward to digging in. Thank you!

Reading this discussion is refreshing. Serious examination of our liberal ideals is overdue.
