  5. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    The only man for whom Hitler had “unqualified respect” was “Stalin the genius,” and while in the case of Stalin and the Russian regime we do not have (and presumably never will have) the rich documentary material that is available for Germany, we nevertheless know since Khrushchev’s speech before the Twentieth Party Congress that Stalin trusted only one man and that was Hitler.

    Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
    Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 3, ch. 10 “A Classless Society,” sec. 1 (1951)

  6. Cossacks – Finale

    Our last number of the night, starting with a solo from Oleg, then everyone on the main stage for some modern-day cossacking. I’d forgotten about the sword fight. Can we have our dinner now?

  7. Benjamin Parker reports on the State Department's plan to put a photo of Trump on US passports, noting that this "would mark yet another U.S. government property upon which the president has plastered his likeness."

    As aspiring dictator-strongmen always do, he wants his image and name everywhere. This immortalizes him, apotheosizes him, keeps the cult alive beyond his mortal life.

  11. "On Tuesday night, President Donald Trump puffed up his chest, thrust out his chin, presented his aged jowls to the TV cameras, and from the rostrum of the House Chamber gave his best Mussolini impression. …

    Hannah Arendt wrote about the banality of evil. There was, in this speech, enough banality to fill an oil tanker."

  12. "Every president emphasizes good news and downplays bad news. But Trump’s (State of the Union] speech was different. It was an object lesson in how a strongman manufactures a story so colossal and positive that it blurs the very idea of limits."

  13. Why Evangelicals Support #Authoritarianism

    Why are #evangelicals still supporting Trump’s #authoritarian takeover? The answer is unsettling: in #evangelical culture, #control is often framed as love.

    "In this video, I unpack how authoritarianism has been rebranded as “protection,” “discipline,” and even “#godly love.”

    America’s weak strongman: Trump — [vlog/video] What Russia’s 1 million casualties mean for Ukraine — Ukrainian drones strike targets in Russia, including gunpowder plant — Putin’s suspected daughter found working in anti-war galleries in Paris … and more

    activitypub.writeworks.uk/2025

  19. Hmmmm... Why am I having #DejaVu?

    From 2022: "Vladimir #Putin has mentioned 'gender freedoms' more than once to justify #Russia’s war against #Ukraine and simultaneously crack down on its own citizens.

    "Most directly, he alleged that Russian citizens who seek '#GenderFreedoms' (alongside foie gras and oysters) are part of the anti-Russian 'fifth column.'

    "Gender and sexuality freedoms — or rights, as they are more typically called — are about #BodilyAutonomy, #diversity and #inclusivity. #Feminist and #LGBTQ+ activists assert that every human being deserves respect, recognition and equal rights regardless of their gender or sexuality.

    "What’s the connection between Putin’s animosity toward Ukraine and toward #gender and #sexuality rights in Russia and around the world?

    Gender and Putin’s regime

    "Putin’s regime has increasingly relied on very conventional gender and sexual norms.

    "When he first ascended to the presidency, image-makers used Putin’s #KGB background and penchant for physical fitness to frame him as a #macho #strongman who could reverse Russia’s waning power and 'remasculinize' the country after a decade of supposed geopolitical flaccidity in the wake of the #Soviet collapse.

    "In other words, an inflexible and clearly #patriarchal notion of masculinity has been central to the Putin regime’s legitimacy.

    "Russia’s foreign policy has relied on rigid gender norms as well. When Ukraine underwent its first pro-democracy revolution in 2004, Russian media questioned its leaders’ masculinity.

    "Putin likewise used homophobic terms to dismiss #Georgia’s #RoseRevolution in 2003, responding to a reporter’s question by saying: 'A rose revolution — next they’ll come up with a light blue one.' In Russian, 'light blue' or goluboi is slang for “gay male.”

    Gender and appealing to constituencies

    "Putin has often been represented as the unquestioned leader of the pack ruling Russia — a masculinity-driven image.

    "However, even as the leader of a personalist #dictatorship — a regime in which there are few institutional limits on the leader’s power — Putin must balance competing interests among significant elites and maintain at least the appearance of public support in order to be considered a legitimate ruler.

    "Until 2020, Putin was using gendered language in his speeches to signal his alignment with a variety of elites and public constituencies that supported him. He was sending mixed signals to both relatively progressive Russians who value women’s roles in the workplace and to #conservatives wishing for a return to '#TraditionalFamilyValues,' in order to keep everyone in his camp.

    "But after July 2021, when he published an essay contending Ukrainians and Russians are a single people, Putin no longer shied away from making sexist and LGBTQ+-phobic comments in prominent settings.

    "At an October 2021 meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club — a Moscow-based think tank and discussion forum that Putin is closely associated with — he said teaching children about #GenderFluidity was 'truly monstrous' and 'verging on a crime against humanity.'"
