“Ece Temelkuran is a brilliant thinker, and her work here is as conceptually illuminating as it is beautifully written ... In this time of rampant fascism, …Nation of Strangers is both a call and a comfort, a book that made me feel so much less alone”
Omar El Akkad

Can’t recommend this book by @ecetemelkuran.bsky.social highly enough.

It was a special #howtoloseacountry night at #KilnTheater in #London . We cried, laughed and most importantly felt not so alone anymore. Many thanks to everyone who was there and special thanks to the brilliant #intelligencesquared and @canongate team.

Ece Temelkuran is schrijfster en journaliste. Na de mislukte staatsgreep in 2014 verliet ze Turkije en keerde niet meer terug.
In 'Verloren land' omschrijft ze hoe een democratie in zeven stappen tot een dictatuur omgevormd werd.

See you on Thusday in #London at #intelligencesquared with #cocokhan It is a good time to talk about Fascism and how we are going to stand against it. No? www.intelligencesquared.com/events/how-t...

"Today it is being organised and mobilised by the wide grin of the new fascism and is spreading across the globe."

If you want to understand what Ece Temelkuran means by the Radical-male, I urge all to read her important book: Together. 10 Choices for a Better Now.

I've read a lot of commentary about this harangue, but alarming for most women is the blatant misogyny, not just a hatred of "woke" - this is the backlash of the patriarchy on full display, what journalist Ece Temelkuran calls the rise of the Radical Male.

'How to Lose a Country: 7 Steps from Democracy to Dictatorship':

'paralysing dissident masses through court cases is far easier when the leader can call people terrorists, and when members of society are too polarised to support each other in the name of equality before the law.'

Reading Together by @ecetemelkuran.bsky.social

I'm struck by this bit- about how even in accepting refugees people would rather see a thing to help than a whole person with a life and who might be able to help others... thread coming... I've put the transcript in the alt text

1. 🧵"They have the courage to do this because of the hypocrisy of the Western establishment." @faisalalyafai.bsky.social recalls his conversation with @ecetemelkuran.bsky.social on how authoritarians have been emboldened by Western failures.

Absolute joy and privilege to chair a further two discussion at the Edinburgh Book Festival. The first with Ece Temelkuran, journalist and author of “How to Lose a Country” and “Together” on the rise of fascism and how we fight it. She was brilliant, unapologetic, and wise. Please read her books!

👇👇

Brilliant talk today by @ecetemelkuran.bsky.social at @lighthousebks.bsky.social

A thread! So, firstly, her editors wimped out of her prefered subtitle - How to Lose a Country should be the 7 steps from democracy to fascism, not dictatorship. I have amended my copy...

#Together against the rise of global fascism!
