hotlizard 's review for:
How to Stand Up to a Dictator
by Maria Ressa
hopeful
informative
inspiring
reflective
I was right. This *will* be a book I recommend to everyone.
I am still digesting everything and feel like I will also return to the words in this book, especially the last chapter "Why Fascism is Winning". The primary dictator described in the novel could be Duterte or Marcos. But it could also be Zuckerberg. I think this, more than other reads so far, has outlined how this platform has been supporting the insurrection of human rights long before Trump.
If I had one small wish is that we had more action plans - but the plans are there really: connect with the community around you and stamp down your own and others' hate. We are better together.
