“HyperNormalisation” is a word that was coined by a Russian historian who was writing about what it was like to live in the last years of the Soviet Union. What he said, […] was that in the 80s everyone from the top to the bottom of Soviet society knew that it wasn’t working, knew that it was corrupt, knew that the bosses were looting the system, know that the politicians had no alternative vision. https://adbusters.org/articles-coded/what-is-hypernormalization.
This definition comes from Adam Curtis’s eye-opening 2015 documentary which is also titled “Hypernormalization”. The documentary is about the state of the World we are currently living through. It’s shocking to learn some of the backstory.
