About this episode
Does it feel like the whole world is gaslighting you? Do you feel a weird dissociation between the reality of your crumbling democracy and the monotony of your everyday life? Well, have we got a word for you. Hypernormalisation!
In this episode, Lauren and Andrew take on Hypernormalisation and try to get their heads around this concept which was invented to describe the feeling of living in Russia, but which is increasingly relevant in America.
Welcome to the Dark Chat and have a very Happy Doomsday!
To learn more, check out some of Andrew's primary sources for the episode with the 2016 Adam Curtis documentary "Hypernormalisation" and the book "Nothing is True and Everything is Possible" by Peter Pomerantsev.
