Trumpland by Chris Hedges
Read by Eunice Wong
The corporate coup d'état and collapse of American democracy began long before Trump. He is simply snuffing out what remains.

Eye now demand the US government follow the example of Germany and immediately exclude MAGA and the Republican Party from receiving any payments as they cannot be considered a democracy-supporting party.

“Again and again, the Nazis used the state of emergency to legitimize the dictatorship and create the conditions of the siege they claimed to protect the people from.”

“ “Theater, nothing else,” wrote one incredulous observer. ”

I think I’m going to buy a domain name to dedicate to the fight against #totalitarianism in the US. I’m going to see if I can build a website and make it go viral through SEO. It’ll be good practice for me.

The inspiration came from watching #handmaidstale. The very beginnings of this are already happening. We need organized resistance to #christiannationalism and #christianfundamentalism. If we don’t organize and fight now, it will be too late.

"Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty."

Hannah Arendt, The origins of totalitarianism

“The really frightening thing about totalitarianism is not that it commits “atrocities” but that it attacks the concept of objective truth: it claims to control the past as well as the future.”

—George Orwell, 4 February 1944

@DerKlimablog Speaking of Russia, it's over 25 degrees Celsius in Moscow.

To make this extra crazy Russia-style: what if I told you that our central heating is still on? 25°C is new (record high), but the rest of the story is same old, same old. They do it every year.

Who would ever allow the clock to be turned back, or be unable to stop the rise of leaders who’d embrace anything other than democracy? Now, his class no longer seems like ancient history, and I sometimes wonder if it was on purpose that Radoslav Selucký gave his lecture twice. May he rest in peace.

Or as Nemik (played by Alex Lawther) says in “Andor” (Disney+):

“It’s so confusing isn’t it, so much going wrong, so much to say, and all of it happening so quickly. The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it – that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine. It’s easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident.”

I am assembling a Reading Guide to Arendt's massive historical analysis of totalitarianism and how it works: video reflections and a reading guide.

Please share where it seems important.

Good on #Harvard for drawing a line; though disappointing others have just capitulated.

Anti-intellectualism and hostility to universities is usually a cornerstone of #autocracy and #totalitarianism. If you tolerate this...

That's diplomacy for you. Made by #Russia, supported by #China, paid for by #India, unnoticed by #America, unfelt by #Europe.

Our only chance lies in the unification of #democracies. The current trends of nationalism and division are leading to a strengthening of #totalitarianism.
