Anti Fascist Book Club, E11: Establish, Contribute, Learn, & Listen

Our panel continues the deep dive into Timothy Snyder's "On Tyranny" with a discussion on chapters 14, 15, 16, and 17.

Show Notes

Today’s episode of the

’s Anti Fascist Book Club with , , and , is a deep dive into chapters 14, 15, 16, and 17 of ’s On Tyranny.

14. Establish a private life

It’s creating a meaningful and purposeful separation on public and private activity — it’s using our resources to offer collaborative tools and services that ensure our creators and friends are receiving the best tools for personal and familiar security.

15. Contribute to good causes

It’s about making a meaningful and repeated contribution to causes you, personally, find important. Those causes can and should include your favorite independent media networks and creators. Those causes can and should include your favorite charitable organizations.

16. Learn from peers in other countries

Take the lessons from countries which have fallen to totalitarian, authoritarian, dictatorial, and fascist governments. Learn the failings that led to the fall of the previous governments. Learn the lessons that led to overcoming those failures.

17. Listen for dangerous words

It’s pitting the masses against one another through targeted words, like terrorist and extremism, meant to evoke fear and danger — it’s taking the meanings of those words to consume and abuse powers. Our lesson is to take that power away through the proper usage of words — it’s flooding the zone with pro-democracy, pro-constitutional, and pro-freedom messaging.
