Yes, the radical loss of shame, this moral crisis, has deep ties to the political crisis. Thank you @ashutosh83B for pointing out. For more, see #howtoloseacountry
We are living at a time when Shamelessness has been normalised. It is this ‘normalisation of the shamelessness’ in the words of Ece Temelkuran which is frightening, depressing and dangerous, and creates a Mafia like structure.
Many who joined the wonderful night at @KilnTheatre in #London for the @intelligence2 esquared event #HowToLoseACountry left somehow -can I say it?- happy. Because when we share our fears and befriend them, as I suggested in #Together #amanifestoagainstaheartlessworld , we feel the unique elation of being humane despite the darkness of our times. It is then we understand: it is not hope that we lost, but faith in ourselves and each other. When that faith is refreshed through words, we feel the power to survive and change the world. It was a special night that we cried, laughed and most importantly felt not so alone anymore. Many thanks to everyone who was there and special thanks to the brilliant @intelligence2 team.
The @thewalrus published an excerpt from #HowToLoseACountry See if it is timely for your country https://t.co/eD6fOS7yQF
Peoples of every country that is introduced to fascism has the responsibility or even the obligation to study their specific case. In #HowToLoseACountry, I laid out a template for how this dark political machine works on a global level. Yet, every country has its specific features when it comes to how fascism works, #rodmcmillan studies the American case comparing it to the 7 patterns/steps in the book.https://t.co/bukLVCyq1a
Who else watched the May 2025 #LocalElection with growing horror? 🙋🏾♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏽♂️🤦
Well, next on our reading list is @ETemelkuran's book:
#HowToLoseACountry

I strongly suggest the American readers to go back to #HowToLoseACountry and read the chapter on humor and laughter. Humor can be an encouraging, joyous tool for resisting the dictators but also it can be used to normalize authoritarian regimes. Which one is this do you think?
A perfect breakdown of #HowToLoseACountry for the US. Many thanks @saikatc #TheSevenStepsFromDemocracyToFascism . Chakrabarti says the US is in the 4th step. See for yourself. #US #Trump #purge
In 2019, @ETemelkuran wrote "How to Lose a Country: The 7 steps from Democracy to Fascism." It's eerie how closely she predicted exactly what Trump is doing right now — and we're solidly in the middle of step 4. It's critically important that the law firms don't roll over right now, because the crackdowns on dissidents will be coming next.
See you in #Brussels on the 11th of February to understand the insanity of the world together. I’ll be in conversation with the one and only @anneliesbeck at @BozarBrussels #howtoloseacountry #together #amanifestoagainsttheheartlessworld tickets here https://t.co/MMmv548nMy
When I said neo-liberalism has swallowed up democracy, I couldn’t have imagined such a perfect visual proof. #HowToLoseACountry #the7stepsfromdemocracytofascism
The biggest names in tech took center stage during Donald Trump's Inauguration inside the Capitol Rotunda on Monday, Jan. 20, sitting side-by-side just behind Trump's immediate family—but in front of his incoming cabinet. See more: https://t.co/37O0hz9e2u

“Rightwing populism is only a political tool to establish Fascism.” I answered @oskigutuitter from @el_pais in this in-depth interview about the neo-fascism. Soon authoritarian leaders will be the rule, not the exception. You can see why from the link below. #HowToLoseACountry #ComoPerderUnPais #Together #AManifestoAgainstTheHeartlessWorld #Juntos Muchas gracias @oskigutuitter
#Entrevista a la ensayista y periodista turca Ece Temelkuran. Una conversación muy interesante. Me quedo con esta llamada de atención: "El populismo de derecha o la extrema derecha no son etapas, sino herramientas para establecer el fascismo" https://t.co/ycoYsl3V9s
Some words for American electorate before they go to ballot boxes tomorrow. #howtoloseacountry #thesevenstepsfromdemocracytofascism
In "How to Lose a Country," Turkish author @ETemelkuran examines the rise of populism and nationalism around the world. She spoke to @spaikin about her book, and the themes that are so resonant today. https://t.co/KtGq2b0A6l

To answer @FaisalAlYafai ‘s question below, yes and no. There will be “better” ones that will be harder to beat. Listen our @newlinesmag podcast here: https://t.co/LHhEjaJZhR #HowToLoseACountry #TheSevenStepsFeomDemocracyToFascism
🧵The context of our two conversations, years apart, surprisingly overlap - Trump, Erdogan, Boris Johnson; all the political figures mentioned are still on the world stage. Will they still be there in another three years?
Today #HowToLoseACountry is simultaneously relaunched in Canada by @simonschusterca and in the UK by @Canongate Its new preface tells about how humanity acts when it comes to Fascism: like a rock star, perpetually late! Many thanks to my incredible editors and all the wonderful supporters of this book. Special thanks to @margaretatwood @PhilipPullman @robertosaviano @yanisvaroufakis #pankajmishra #andrewseangreer @jonathancoe
Let’s meet on Friday in #London at @frontlineclub Wonderful @RosieBoycott will kindly chair me as I tell about the new forms of fascsim and all the other fun stuff. #HowToLoseACountry is relaunched by @canongatebooks today with a new subtitle and a new preface. We will be talking about why the update was necessary. Here’s the registration link https://t.co/Z5SfvE1sAI
Just a kind reminder to women around the world, but especially the ones in the US. #HowToLoseACountry
Infantilisation of politics begins in 1980s. #howtoloseacountry We should all thank Tatcher and Reagan for Trump and his ilk.
As the US elections is getting closer, time to temember this video inspired by #HowToLoseACountry Many thanks to @pttrn_ntgrty
BREAKING: Don’t be fooled. The message is clear.
The steps have been taken. #TrumpsOnlyPlan is to rule our country.
Inspired by @ETemelkuran's book: How to Lose a Country
This is exactly why a supra-national anti-fascist network is a must. If we do not want to be another chapter in #HowToLoseACountry we should keep up with the reality. The book will be relaunched in October by @canongatebooks in the UK and the US with a new subtitle “The Seven Steps from Democracy to Fascism”, which I think makes more sense now. Hopefully, it will serve those who are aware of our dire need for a solidarity that goes beyond borders.
"If you're interested, & I'll fund it somehow, I think you're the perfect guy, what we'd like to do is help knit together a populist nationalist movement throughout the world."
