Why Dictatorships Build The Same (hint: it's about control and suppressing dissent)

Prominent #pro-Kremlin #blogger known for his aggressive attacks on #Russia’s opposition abruptly turned against #Putin with series of scathing critiques
A day later, he was admitted to #psychiatric #hospital
Ilya #Remeslo, built #blog targeting late opposition leader #Navalny
His sudden reversal, & speed he disappeared, has drawn intense attention in Russia’s tightly controlled media

Actual #democracy is about voting on issues, not voting on people.
Western "democracy" is about voting on people, not voting on issues.
From that perspective, westerners deem #socialist states as #authoritarian #dictatorships.
All while citizens of those states have 10 times more power than any western citizen.
Are you waking up yet?

How do the machinery of war and political violence relate to the production of power relations and subjectivity that we generally refer to as #authoritarianism?
This question is the staring point for the workshop promoted by #STEXEU on 10 March, with Charalambos Minasidis and Fernando Jiménez Herrera.

An extension of his administration: how #Trump’s resorts became a proxy for access and power
Traditionally, #presidents have #divested from their business interests before assuming office. Jimmy Carter famously put his peanut farm into a blind trust to avoid #conflict of interest #violations while serving as president.
But Trump has embraced his suite of luxury resorts and golf clubs as an executive asset.

I'm sorry, but anyone who thought #Bezos bought #WaPo to control the news and not to destroy it from the inside (it's chump change for him) so there is no news being reported, really REALLY hasn't been paying attention.
It's how #dictatorships work.

@EUCommission Can you not give #ICE and #DHS in #USA access to our data? Many #EU members lived in #dictatorships under mass surveillance. Do we share data with #Iran or #Russia? You want to give confidential data of #EU citizens to a regime that behaves openly hostile to our values, member states and our citizens? #NoToFascism #notoESBP

Donald Trump is borrowing a strategy from authoritarian regimes to #intimidate potential critics and #discourage them from speaking out, according to a senator under investigation by his administration.
#Elissa #Slotkin, a Democrat from Michigan, faces questioning after she organised and appeared in a #video with other Democrats imploring military service members to #refuse “#illegal #orders”.
Fellow senator #Mark #Kelly and three Democrats from the House of Representatives are also being investigated.
To Slotkin, a former analyst with the Central Intelligence Agency ( #CIA ), it is a deliberate effort to chill free speech that rhymes with her experience of #dictatorships around the world.
“They’re now using a well-worn playbook that employs #physical intimidation and #legal intimidation to get,
A, you to shut up, and
B, for other people thinking of criticising the president on such issues to be dissuaded from doing so,”
she told the Guardian in a phone interview.“It’s absolutely a strategy well used in other countries and other authoritarian governments.
As a CIA officer I’ve served in places like this,
I’ve studied places like this my entire life,
and Trump is sadly using that #playbook in the United States right now.”Now 49, Slotkin completed three tours in Iraq with the US military before moving into national security roles at the Pentagon and White House under presidents George W Bush and Barack Obama.
In 2018 she turned to electoral politics, winning a long-held Republican seat in #Michigan and helping Democrats reclaim control of the House.
She secured re-election in 2020 and 2022, campaigning on issues such as access to affordable healthcare and efforts to bring manufacturing back to her home state.
Her ascent continued in 2024 when she won an open Senate seat despite Trump carrying Michigan in the presidential election.
Last year she delivered the Democrats’ rebuttal to Trump’s joint congressional address.
Then in November she was among six congressional Democrats,
all with military or intelligence backgrounds,
who in a 90-second video cited the "Uniform Code of Military Justice"
and said no one has to carry out orders that violate the law or constitution.#Trump branded the video message “treasonous” and amplified a social media post suggesting that the six Democrats be #hanged.
Defence secretary Pete #Hegseth is attempting to #retroactively #demote Kelly,
a former navy pilot and astronaut,
from his retired rank of captain.👏The Arizona senator is suing Hegseth to block those proceedings,
calling them an unconstitutional act of retribution.Meanwhile US attorney #Jeanine #Pirro, the justice department’s chief prosecutor in Washington, has requested an interview with Slotkin.

WHEN. WILL PEOPLE. WAKE. UP?

“This is what prosecutors do in #dictatorships,” Richard W. Painter, a #law professor at the University of MN who served as the chief #ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush, posted.
…#Comey appeared to take the news of the indictment calmly, responding in a video posted on social media. “We will not live on our knees, & you shouldn’t either…I have great confidence in the federal justice system & I’m innocent, so let’s have a trial.”
-
the way that the #fact that the #unitedstates has overthrown dozens of #governments to set up #fascist #dictatorships is treated as "neat trivia" and not one of the greatest #crimes against #humanity in the last century is sickening
