About Dictators v Democrats: Why We Fight
A 'Dictators v Democrats' program https://tamullis.substack.com/ Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/tamullis Patreon: patreon.com/DictatorsvDemocrats Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/vsTNKRvy Democracy is at war. We can see the forces rallied against it: autocratic states like Russia, China, Iran and North Korea, techno-aristocrats, religious fundamentalists and populist demagogues. From the trenches of Ukraine to the halls of power in the US, democratic, free values are under determined assault. But, there are those who resist. In 'Why We Fight' we talk to those who claim to be defending democracy; that's everyone from soldiers, protestors, activists, religious leaders, industrialists and politicians. We find out who they are, what drove them to take up the struggle, what their work is and why their idea of democracy is worth fighting for.

[…] These were people for whom a three-hour livestream on esoteric fascist philosophy would be an idea of a good time. Obviously, this isn't the only factor that drew them into joining a group that was set up by or co-set up by one of these influencers. But definitely, it gave them a common ground and could help articulate perhaps why why other parts of their life were not going the way that they had hoped. One of the things I thought was probably more of a driver for the young men and the handful of young women who were joining this particular group, the Basket Weavers, was loneliness. Lots of them had said that the relationships that they had expected from life had materialized. […]
