Some followers of my blogs and other channels may have noticed that my audience has shrunk slightly over the last few months (don’t worry, it’s less than 5%). The reason seems to be simple: each time I posted something slightly political or satirical, some followers appear to have jumped "off the train".
I’m however a political person… andI hope you are too! Freedom, equality, democracy and fact-based politics should be the drivers in our society. But alas, all over the globe, politicians are lining up that do not uphold these simple values.
As an author, I can focus on stupidly selling my books to any interested buyer, and keeping my mouth shut. This does not make sense for two reasons: first, one of my favorite mottos is that when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Now is not the time to shut up. Second, all my post-apocalyptic adventure books actually address exactly the political developments that we now witness, and the rise of populists in dystopian societies. In Two Journeys, I describe a wannabe dictator in Russia, in Fields of Fire it’s a warlord in the USA. In each and every situation, people will proclaim to be a chosen leader, representing the people – whereas they only want to enrich themselves. Don’t trust them.
