The authors define safetyism as a culture or belief system in which safety (which includes "emotional safety") has become a sacred value, which means that people become unwilling to make trade-offs demanded by other practical and moral concerns.

At worst it is a place where corporate power no longer answers to state controls. At best the nation has become a "managed democracy" where the public is shepherded, not sovereign.
