[REGNUM] The British newspaper Financial Times published a very remarkable article entitled “The Dangers Facing Us in a Chaotic and Unpredictable World,” which bluntly states that today we are experiencing a “democratic recession.” “Hostility towards the fundamental norms of liberal democracy is gaining momentum even in Western countries. The reason for this was economic disappointment, political failure and destructive social changes,” writes the author of the article.

#1  Nonsense. It has nothing to do with ideology.
As long as there was a threat of Soviet Union, Western decision makers (not necessarily elected ones) kept some touch with reality. Without the threat they (being trained seals of leftard academic pseudo-education) went completely crazy.
That's why, by the way, there is a war in Ukraine - restored Russia is a deadly threat to all their dreams.
