You Don’t Belong

My friend and colleague Marie-José has written a thoughtful and wise essay on why people’s fear of being left out makes them susceptible to autocrats. One of those rare pieces I already knew I’ll keep thinking of a lot in the future even while I was still reading it. If you understand German, read the original; if not, reading a translated version is better than not reading it at all.
