Voting Against Democracy
📘 The Democratic Paradox: Voting Against DemocracyBy Alexious Fiero
"What if the greatest threat to democracy isn't a tyrant... but the ballot box itself?"
🛒 Available in:📕 Paperback 📘 Hardcover 📱 Kindle Edition 🎧 Audiobook (Coming Soon)
🧠 Book DescriptionIn an age of algorithmic influence, disinformation warfare, and institutional fatigue, The Democratic Paradox confronts the most unsettling truth of the modern era: citizens of liberal democracies are increasingly voting to dismantle the very freedoms they claim to cherish.
Renowned political theorist Alexious Fiero unravels the historical, psychological, and technological forces that have turned democracies inward—where populist rage, cognitive manipulation, and media-industrial conditioning threaten to erase centuries of civic progress.
Blending political philosophy with investigative insight, Fiero explores:
How mass media reshaped democratic perception from the radio age to the algorithmic present
Why citizens abandon democratic norms under the illusion of “freedom”
Who profits from the post-democratic drift—and how they engineer civic decline
How we might rebuild a resilient democratic imagination before it's too late
This expanded edition includes a robust Part V: Reconstructing the Civic Imagination, offering concrete frameworks for deliberative democracy, networked governance, and media literacy as public infrastructure.
