‘Fabulously Fighting Fascism’ with Anat Shenker-Osorio
Anat Shenker-Osorio examines why certain messages falter where others deliver. We talk about why fabulously fighting fascism – together – is the thing that matters most right now. She emphasizes the importance of direct political action and the need to promote positive messaging rather than just reacting to opposition narratives. Anat discusses effective communication strategies, the flaws of conventional polling, and the power of social proof. She also highlights the 3.5% rule: “no government has withstood a challenge of 3.5% of their population mobilized against it” (credit to Erica Chenoweth of the Harvard Kennedy School) and the significance of local involvement and visible resistance in dismantling authoritarian regimes. She calls for living your beliefs openly.
