#AmericanPrestige talks w/ #GregGrandin about the US attack on #Venezuela
"They talk about the removal of Nicolás #Maduro while leaving the existing state structure intact, implying America’s preference for coercion over governance; the role of oil in US rhetoric; internal divisions within the #Trump administration; comparisons to past interventions in the region; and the weakening of regional resistance to US dominance"

"[A]s with so many Trumpian things, it’s important to remember that he wouldn’t be able to do what he does if it weren’t for policies and institutions put in place by all too many of his predecessors. His horrors have long backstories. In fact, Donald #Trump isn’t so much escalating the #warOnDrugs as escalating its escalation."

"[H]istorian #GregGrandin returns to Chapo for a history lesson about the #WarOnDrugs as well as #Venezuela’s #BolivarianRevolution. We also talk about the US’s long-running economic interests and petty feuds in #LatinAmerica, particularly regarding the region’s oil supplies. We then briefly speculate about just how bad and chaotic a regime change operation against Venezuela might be for the US and Latin America."

🧵 1/3
This afternoon I enjoyed browsing through the printed edition of a recent TLS. One is so much more likely to happen upon the unexpected, and I was not disappointed today.
For example, Notre Dame historian Felipe Fernández-Armesto takes the Yale Latin Americanist Greg Grandin to task in an uncompromising review of "America, América: A New History of the New World":
>>I opened the book expecting instruction and entertainment. I closed it in despair. How can such a shoddy piece, so self-indulgent, so partisan, so ignorant, so poorly written and so carelessly checked, appear over the name of a well-qualified professor and the imprint of a respected publisher? <<
Fernández-Armesto is particularly critical of what he sees as Grandin's recycling of the "black legend" of Spanish colonialism. He concludes his review
>>To "American identity of the future", wrote Walt Whitman in 1883, "Spanish character will supply some of the most needed parts . It is time to realize --for it is certainly true--that there will not be found any more cruelty, tyranny, superstition, etc., in the resume of past Spanish history than in the corresponding resume of Anglo-Norman history". Some people have not realized it yet.<<

Won’t You Be My Neighbor?
A conversation with #GregGrandin about his new book, #AmericaAmérica, "a sweeping revision of #UShistory that argues we can’t understand the history of the #UnitedStates without understanding its long engagement with its neighbors to the south, in #LatinAmerica."

'In sixteenth-century Spain, common soldiers wrote, or paid others to write, their stories of mayhem, hoping to make a heroic name for themselves. Today, we see updated digital versions of a similar kind of conquering pride, as members of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), on platforms like TikTok, upload videos of Gazans “stripped, bound, and blindfolded” and others showing bulldozers and tanks razing homes.' - #GregGrandin

"The story of how the #UnitesStates identity was formed is almost invariably told by looking east to Europe. In #AmericaAmérica #GregGrandin vividly demonstrates that the nation’s unique sense of itself was in fact forged facing south toward #LatinAmerica"

Thoughtful discussion about Grandin’s new history of Latin America: America America, highlighting how conflict resolution among nations there in last 2 centuries offered models for international cooperation, including United Nations, weapons treaties, and Pope Francis legacy. Mention of The Nation excerpt. I ordered a copy.

'While the US Declaration of Independence is mute about #conquest and #colonization, Venezuela’s independence manifesto acknowledges that the new nation was built on stolen land, conquered through bloodshed. The word “society” appears 15 times in the Venezuelan Constitution, Grandin notes, while the US Constitution doesn’t mention it once.'

I understand now what #tRump thinks he's doing by cosying up to #NobbyBukake
#OrangeShitler thinks he's copying his #StrongMan idol #ToplessVlad #Putin by aligning the #Americas (willing criminal states like #ElSalvador and very unwilling targets like #Canada) into the #UnitedSovietStates of #Authoritarianism with its own cadre of soulless #Oligarchs.#Resist #Citizens, this mad man must be stopped.

WOW! I didn't know this about these historians! A #MustListenEpisode
#CitationsNeeded
#Episode213: The Shallow, Power-Flattering appeal of high Status #Resistance #Historians#AnneApplebaum , #TimothySnyder, #RuthBenGhiat , etc. have become liberal-friendly experts on #authoritarianism.
Citations Needed looks at the advent and influence of MSNBC-approved #historians dissecting their SELECTIVE #antiauthoritarian posture and discussing how their work does little more than polish their careers and provide cover for U.S. and U.S.-allied #militarism.
Later on, is guest #GregGrandin (upcoming #book in April 2025)
