The #Imperialism Has no Clothes

JD #Vance in #Greenland

Timothy #Snyder Mar 29, 2025

The threat in the #Arctic invoked by Vance is #Russia; and of course defending against a Russian attack is the #NATO mission. But right now the United States is supporting Russia in its war against #Ukraine. ...

Their example was followed by philosophy professor #Jason_Stanley, who specializes in the study of #fascism and propaganda.

In 2021, #Snyder, #Shore, and #Stanley co-taught a course at #Yale called “Mass Incarceration in the #Soviet_Union and the #United_States.” All three attributed their decision to leave #Yale to the political climate in the #States.

Auf die Frage des Guardian, was es bedeutet, wenn ein Faschismusforscher die USA verlässt, antwortete #Stanley: "Zum Teil ist es letztlich so, wie man Deutschland 1932, '33, '34 verlassen hat. Meine Großmutter verließ Berlin mit meinem Vater 1939. Es ist also eine Familientradition." #Snyder #USA #USExit #Shore derstandard.de/story/300000026

DER STANDARDHistoriker Timothy Snyder verlässt die USAAuch seine Frau, die Historikerin Marci Shore, kehrt dem Land wegen Trump den Rücken – ebenso wie Yale-Kollege Jason Stanley, der vor einer faschistischen Diktatur in den USA warnt

I don't intend to criticise Jason Stanley or Timothy Snyder for going to Canada because I don't know their personal circumstances. They haven't been detained, they haven't been tortured but they've made the decision to leave. They have concluded that even being senior academics at an elite university isn't going to protect them. That's a pretty damning indictment of supposedly independent institutions.

Embedded im Knast in El Salvador und der Journalist der @tagesschau sieht vor lauter Details und Inszenierung die Entmenschlichung nicht mehr, die vor seinen Augen stattfindet. Timothy #Snyder über die Abschiebungen:
"Individuals associated with the federal government have, in defiance of a court order and without a trial or any form of due process, deported hundreds of people from the territory of the United States to #ElSalvador, where they will be held indefinitely in a concentration camp."

Magical thinking is far from new. Adolf #Hitler came to power amid similar lies and conspiracy theories. We should know where that leads. ...

Thinking about... · Unfreedom at the Washington PostBy Timothy Snyder

A final thought about what #Starmer did last Thursday, a week ago today.

Timothy #Snyder, the great historian of totalitarianism and expert on #Ukraine, said that the most important rule to follow when dealing with totalitarians is "Do not obey in advance."

Starmer conceded the second state visit before it could be demanded of him: he obeyed in advance.
