We are no longer waiting for the other shoe to drop: We are living in the aftermath. Rushkoff sits down with Jonathan Larsen, editor of The F*****g News, to ask the question: Now that we are soaking in authoritarianism, how do we get out? While Rushkoff worries that the screen has been placed over the boiling pot, Larsen offers a crucial reframing: what we mistake for a grand fascist strategy is often just a lack of impulse control. He argues that diagnosing "fascism" can become a trap that leads to fatalism and paralysis. Instead, the most effective resistance is specific, tactical, and local. From the Newtonian backlash inherent in voter suppression to the dangers of Larry Ellison’s Stargate DNA registry, Rushkoff and Larsen explore how to resist the urge to dehumanize our enemies, why we must stop looking for political saviors, and how to find the levers of power that still work.
