概要

What happens when politicians can no longer promise a better future? They promise to protect you from a terrifying one.

In this episode, we explore Adam Curtis's documentary series: a history of how fear became the dominant currency of politics in both the West and the Middle East. How neoconservatives and radical Islamists, despite opposing each other, both rose to power by abandoning positive visions and selling nightmares.

Curtis argues that the "War on Terror" was built on exaggerated threats, not because politicians are evil, but because fear is the only thing they have left to offer.

The documentary is available free online. This episode serves as a guide to its arguments and provocations.
