Weird how not a single one of the newspapers and magazines that have been breathlessly churning out "cancel culture" thinkpieces for the past four years have managed to use the word "censorship" at all to describe the most rapid and comprehensive campaign of mass-censorship in recent US history.

Dodging the autocratic bullet: enlisting behavioural science to arrest democratic backsliding
On this Jan. 6, it’s a fitting moment to reflect on the threats to democracy posed by norm violations from political elites - and by a public that either supports or turns a blind eye to them.
@lewan.bsky.social, @kiiahuttunen.bsky.social, Ralph Hertwig, and I discuss this in a recent publication.

Dodging the autocratic bullet: enlisting behavioural science to arrest democratic backsliding
Arresting democratic backsliding? History holds some lessons.
Our paper that examined democratic near misses -- that is, cases in which democratic backsliding was averted at the last moment, before autocracy became entrenched, is finally out in Behavioural Public Policy doi.org/10.1017/bpp.... 1/n
