The book explores the contradiction within liberal-democratic states that profess to uphold freedom of expression while simultaneously criminalizing dissent. It delves into the underlying fear and delusion that drive these governments to prioritize security, aiming to safeguard a perceived political order against differing opinions and disagreements. Through this lens, it critiques the tension between democratic ideals and the reality of state repression.
