David Keyes argues that effective storytelling is crucial in combating authoritarian narratives globally. He suggests that while facts are important, they are often insufficient on their own to influence global perceptions and policy. By harnessing the power of compelling stories, movements can more effectively communicate their messages and engage broader audiences, potentially swaying international opinion and support against oppressive regimes. This strategic narrative approach can be a powerful tool in the global information war, challenging authoritarian propaganda and promoting democratic values.
