    “Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power, and succeeded with such rapidity.”
    - Timothy Snyder

  2. "The United States has just spent billions of dollars to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs, impoverishes the citizenry, sabotages its alliances, and strengthens its enemies. As justification for the self-destructive mindlessness, the White House gestures towards Jesus and genocide."

    #TimothySnyder on the #IranWar

  3. Dr. Snyder details his thoughts on Superpower suicide.

    To quote the concluding sentence:

    "From where we stand now there are two ways forward: one is the self-induced downfall of the American republic; the other is to reconsider American ideals and to restructure American politics so as to bring the people greater power over a more just future."

  4. Good find today. My neighborhood has a few #LittleFreeLibrary boxes with free books, give or take. Never had taken one until today.

    Found a copy of #TimothySnyder 's #OnTyranny. Such a good, yet scary, small book! I have read library copies twice now.

  5. Be calm when the unthinkable arrives.

    Whether real or fake, tyrants will utilize emergency events to consolidate power.

  6. “De russere, der var blevet uddannet i 1970'erne, heriblandt 2010'ernes ledere og krigspropagandister, havde således lært, at "fascist" betød "anti-russisk". På russisk er det nærmest en grammatisk fejl at forestille sig, at en russer ville kunne være fascist. I den nutidige russiske diskurs vil det være lettere for en egentlig russisk fascist at kalde en ikkefascist for "fascist", end det er for en ikkefascist at kalde en russisk fascist for "fascist". En fascist som Dugin kunne således fejre fascismens sejr med en fascistisk sprogbrug, samtidig med at han fordømte sine modstandere som "fascister".”
    - Tmothy Snyder, Vejen til ufrihed

    Så meget for russisk logik. Begrebsforvirringen er total 🙄

  7. “Skizofascisme: Egentlige fascister, der kalder deres modstandere for “fascister”, bebrejder jøderne for Holocaust, og som betragter Anden Verdenskrig som et argument for mere vold.”
    - Timothy Snyder, Vejen til ufrihed

  8. @ricoroswallpedersen At forsøge at forstå russisk logik er nytteløst, for den eksisterer ikke. Deres fascistiske verdensanskuelse er baseret på fiktion og er så væsensforskellig fra vestlig faktabaseret tankegang, at nogen form for konsensus er umulig. Det eneste, man kan være sikker på, er, at de ønsker at bekæmpe Vesten og alt, hvad den står for, med næb og klør, for målet er et eurasisk imperium fra Lissabon til Vladivostok, og det kan ikke nås uden at udrydde den såkaldt “vestlige dekadence”.

    Jeg hiver det ikke bare ud af en vis legemsdel. Man kan læse mere i #TimothySnyder’s rystende og massivt kildeunderbyggede “Vejen til ufrihed” som er fra 2018, men fortsat aktuel.

    Det eneste, der nytter, er at hjælpe offeret, uanset hvordan 🇷🇺 og Lavrov opfatter det. Og, desværre, et solidt forsvar.

  9. @wdlindsy

    Prof. #TimothySnyder could not be more clear here. This is a quiet, reserved, book-ish fellow trying as loudly as he can muster - to warn us of what is happening..

    #Fascism = #Trumpism = #MAGA = #war = #Authoritarianism = #Destruction

  10. Timothy Snyder on the possibility of a #coup in the #USA.

    "History does not repeat, but it does instruct."

    "It is up to us to put two and two together: Trump will seek to exploit the war (or the next one) to alter the elections. We bear responsibility for what comes next."

  11. Questi esempi servono a mostrare come l’uso di analogie forti non è mai stato un tabù assoluto nella società israeliana; il tabù emerge solo quando l’analogia riguarda il potere ebraico-israeliano, non i suoi nemici.

    Infine, l’autore cita il caso di #AlexandriaOcasioCortez, che definì “campi di concentramento” i centri di detenzione per migranti negli #USA.
    Il Museo dell’Olocausto di Washington condannò l’analogia, ma 600 studiosi dell’Olocausto, tra cui Goldberg stesso, firmarono una lettera sostenendo che le analogie non solo sono legittime, ma necessarie per riconoscere segnali di pericolo.

    #TimothySnyder, uno dei massimi storici dell’Olocausto, scrisse che vietare le analogie svuota di senso il “mai più”. ⬇️6

  12. “Next Saturday, March 28th, I will join millions of Americans taking part in No Kings protests throughout the country. I hope you will join in. Everything is at stake.”

  13. Timothy Snyder writes: ‘…Tuberculosis, known in the past as consumption, has infected somewhere between one-quarter and one-third of all humans ever, and it possibly infected more than ninety percent of the population in industrializing countries during its peak in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Not everyone who is infected develops an active disease. Whether they become sick depends partly on social and economic conditions that affect the immune system. Only about a fifth of those people who became sick recovered permanently and absolutely before the discovery of modern antibiotics. And of course tuberculosis is only one of the infectious diseases that once caused a vast portion of the population to live with chronic illness and disability…

    "Shore said she and Snyder, who teaches history and global affairs, decided to leave after the 2024 presidential election, and the administration’s threats against higher education during President Trump’s first 100 days in office reinforced their decision."

    Whew.
