A lot of people have been asking me what actionable things they can do to protect themselves from authoritarianism. Truthfully I don't know.

But in terms of actively winning? History shows two basic pathways: wait for the authoritarian to die at old age or rebel.

And I dunno, I think it's unsafe to openly talk about rebellion. So my advice is, "if you're marginalized, have a way out or three."

And follow
@sarahkendzior, who is an expert on authoritarian states and knows what's up. Lots of great stuff to learn from her. -
But in terms of actionability, I don't really have any great solutions. This all sucks.
