When Facades Crack (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798243879019)

When Facades Crack is a blistering examination of how tyranny thrives not despite but through liberalism. It's an account of how the language of freedom becomes a shield for power, how justice gets bent into legal obedience, and how democracies betray their ideals-not with fanfare but with silence, subtlety, and plausible deniability. At its core, When Facades Crack argues that tyranny lives in our policies, politics, institutions, and daily moral evasions. It is sustained not by monsters but by ordinary people who excuse small compromises, prize comfort over courage, and mistake performance for principle. But this is no manifesto of despair. It is not to condemn liberalism, but to rescue it from its distortions, opportunists, and the comforting lies we tell ourselves. To be liberal, properly understood, is to resist tyranny in all its forms-especially the ones that hide behind our own beliefs.
