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)

They had 107 days.
The #OrangeShitGibbon has been operating for decades, backed by #oligarchs and #Fascism the whole time.
This moment has been coming for a long time.

#RuthBenGhiat also #exposed the real #purpose a #claim repeatedly made at the event.
When speakers claimed that “#they” had tried to #assassinate #Trump, she responded: “The #purpose of this is to #conjure a #threat #environment sufficient to #justify #authoritarian #action if they win. Old #trick of those #planning #coups as well.”

“That’s the big question,” #RuthBenGhiat said, adding that it depends partly on #Trump’s ability to impose party #fealty, #intimidate critics & install competent bureaucrats who are effective at using levers of #power to advance his personal aims.
“It is about criminalizing #dissent,” she said. “There is a method to his madness in that he has taken people on a journey of #indoctrination.”

'Totally illegal': #Trump escalates rhetoric on #outlawing political #dissent & #criticism
“This is out of the #autocratic playbook. As autocrats consolidate their power once they’re in office, anything that threatens their #power ... becomes illegal,” historian #RuthBenGhiat said.

#Authoritarianism #Expert Spots New Trump #Boast That ‘Sends A #Chill Down My #Spine’
#RuthBenGhiat found #DonaldTrump's and #ShadyVance's #hateful #rhetoric has taken a "really #disturbing" #turn.
— The #FarRight has always been about using #Codewords, symbols, and #DogWhistles, like Trump's raised fist (#AryanFist) in most pictures of him. The same goes for terms like #ReMigration.

A strange mix of two things I dig, music and political analysis, but in a weirdly fascinating, specific way: " #VernonReid and #CoreyGlover from the band #LivingColour join us for a discussion with NYU fascism and propaganda professor, Dr. #RuthBenGhiat, about the #fascism playbook, how #authoritarian regimes end, fascism and the illusion of authenticity, modern examples like #Trump, and Billy Joel’s smashed piano."
