Here is the 2016 Adam Curtis documentary referenced in the article, by the same term we use to describe what’s happening: Hypernormalization.
It was a documentary I’d highly recommend when I saw it in 2017, during Trump’s first term. Now I think it’s required viewing, which is depressing since almost nobody has heard of it, despite living in the exact demoralizing and uncanny reality it describes.
Adam Curtis is the Cassandra of our age. I first saw Century of the Self when I was young. It depressed me and left me in a funk for weeks. Hypernormalization is great and yeah, a rewatch every year is warranted as more of its vision comes true.

I remember when that documentary came out.
That feels like a lifetime ago. Everyone I knew thought it was over exaggerating and sensationalizing things.
God I hate how stubborn people are.
