Rescuing democracy and free speech from nihilism and psychopathologies will require new institutions - and your support. Between early 2016 and this year, the media and political establishments that govern the United States, Britian, Canada, and the European Union have described themselves as defenders of democracy and freedom from nationalist polititions, political parties, and social movements.

If allowed to gain more influence, they will become identical to the Nazi and other fascist parties that came to power in Europe nearly 100 years ago. But the events of last year make clear that the media and political establishment in the U.S. and other western nations "pose a greater threat to democracy than the populist movements they relentlessly defame.
