This is a brilliant lecture, a revelation. I'm astonished that it has received so little attention. Paul Rahe should get together with Timothy Snyder, they have recognised many of the same causes of our present situation but their different perspectives could produce a far-reaching synthesis.
Damn. I would have loved to ask him if the death of legacy media (newspapers, ect) has complicated and made more difficult the efforts for the elite bourgeois class to manufacture consent (a la chomsky). I expect it has, which would be one of the very few positive developments to come out of these changes in media
Paul is always wonderful.
Great teacher!!
Thank you.

I'm sure there are entities capable of flooding social media with the narrative of their choosing.
