Authoritarianism 101

What began as an experiment with TikTok has transformed into a multi-platform movement to raise awareness of authoritarian practices, wherever they may arise.

As most of you already know, I'm Abbey from The Open Bookshelf and Authoritarianism 101 over on TikTok, where a good 70,000 of us have spent the last year dissecting authoritarianism in diverse systems from across China, the UK, Singapore, the United States, the European Union. 

As some of you will know, I'm also that activist from Twitter who breaks down authoritarian responses to protests/strikes and who was shocked to wake up one Sunday morning to find 12,000 people wanting to know more about authoritarianism at home.

But mine is only one perspective.

Yes, I've spent the last ten years working up to my current expertise in authoritarianism, policy, and protest, but I'm still only one narrow-sighted, flawed person.

So, let's get some other voices involved, eh?
