Would that fascism were still just in our rearview mirror! I am more than happy to get you up to speed—you’ll find plenty to fill out your understanding of tyranny in my essays :-)

CJ Hopkins is my favorite contemporary satirist and also writes brilliantly about the new totalitarianism (https://cjhopkins.substack.com/) if you’re not familiar with his work.

I have found connecting with kindred resisters around the world and realizing how many of us there really are very encouraging, and I think you will, too :-)

Oh yes, Martin Niemöller’s quote is uncomfortably relevant today:

“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

“Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.

“Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

“Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
