In Part 3 of our But Why is Politics so Messy? series, we close with the big one: What can we actually do?
After breaking down how people get pulled into harmful political narratives, Kristin and Laura flip the lens to explore how we resist authoritarianism without losing our minds (or ourselves).
Together, we unpack:
• Why people don’t believe things because they’re true, they believe them because it feels safer
• How authoritarianism weaponises shame, fear, and our need to belong
• The psychological tools that keep us stuck (denial, fatalism, moral panic, "I'm not political")
• What makes people actually change (spoiler: it’s not facts)
• Why rest can be resistance — and also a strategy!
• How to speak up without a 2-hour debate
• How to know who’s worth your energy
This is a no-nonsense, deeply reflective, very human conversation about how to keep your clarity, your capacity, and your community in the face of rising extremism.
✨ “If you have control over the narrative, you have power.”
“You can’t reflect your way out of fascism.”
