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

This episode explores How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them by Jason Stanley as a systems-level examination of how authoritarian movements dismantle democratic culture from within.

Stanley shows how propaganda, conspiracy narratives, and appeals to “law and order” function together to redirect social frustration toward marginalized groups. As shared reality erodes, institutions designed to protect pluralism and accountability become tools for exclusion and control.
