Law and Order: When safety becomes suppression
Law and Order” — it sounds reassuring. But what does it really mean?
In this week’s episode of UnSpun, we unpack how those three words have been used across centuries — from 1500s England to 1960s Alabama to 2020s America — not just to fight crime, but to reshape societies.
In this episode, we explore:
- The hidden history of “law and order” as a political weapon
- How leaders like George Wallace, Richard Nixon, and Donald Trump used the phrase to suppress dissent
- The role of economic fear in making people trade freedom for control
- Global examples from Canada, China, Turkey, Eastern Europe, and beyond
- What the phrase means today — and why we should all listen carefully when it’s used
“Law and Order” isn’t just a slogan. It’s a signal — and sometimes, a warning.
🎧 Listen now to learn what’s really being promised.
