In the age of Donald Trump , Elon Musk and the rise of the far right, commentators have endlessly opined on the problems of fake news, polarisation and more.

But they’ve mostly been looking in the wrong places and have focused too much on words.

And the implicit societal acceptance that they do is getting in the way of other, more effective political thinking and doing.

Sarah Stein Lubrano is the author of Don’t Talk About Politics: How to Change 21st-Century Minds.

To think well about politics also means to be active in the world trying new ways of living, having a wide variety of experiences.

To fix this, progressives need to take back wealth and power, she says.
