Breaking Ranks » Surge of Nobodies

Robert Fuller is the author of Somebodies & Nobodies, the book that identified the malady of rankism and All Rise, which describes a dignitarian society committed to overcoming it.

Pamela A. Gerloff is co-author, with Robert Fuller, of the new book Dignity for All: How to Create a World without Rankism. The book is a concise, action-oriented guide showing how to counteract and prevent rankism in your own life and in the world.

As I checked into the Nobodies Movement, I found that they had been spawning groups on a variety of social networking sites:

2. A Google Group of Nobodies.

4. A Squidoo Lens on nobodyness.

This is some exciting follow-up for the International Association of Nobodies. I spent half the morning signing up for things.

Ps. I’ve added a link to the Nobodies Movement to The Nobody Manifesto.

These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages.

Great initiative. Rankism is everywhere, although I hadn’t heard of the term yet. And it is worth fighting against. Keep it up!

Thanks for the encouragement! Rankism is everywhere! The word has been around for years, too, and hopefully it will eventually become common usage. Robert Fuller’s dream is that people who compulsively abuse their power start to hesitate and say, “Wait, am I being a rankist?”
