Steuern die #USA auf einen Bürgerkrieg zu?
Die Trump-Regierung sieht in weiten Teilen der eigenen Bevölkerung den inneren Feind. Gegen den wendet sie sich: um das vermeintlich wahre #Amerika zu verteidigen.

The American Government Sides with the Party of German Neo-Nazis

The MAGA-AfD alliance of extremists is not surprising, but it remains outrageous. If democracy is to prevail, America needs to establish a robust anti-fascist consensus

How the Republic Falls

Constitutional protections suspended. The government purging “alien enemies” and the “enemy within.” Three months into Trumpist rule, despotism is rising in America

#Episode237 Unprecedented: #SashaAbramsky & #ThomasZimmer on the Crisis We Face

Sasha , author of #ChaosComesCalling, discusses the rapid ascent of #fascism, emphasising the dehumanisation of vulnerable populations, the role of propaganda, and the transformation of govt.

Thomas, co-host of the #IsThisDemocracypodcast, and historian, discusses the qualitative transformation of the U.S. govt over the course of the last month.

This piece by @tzimmer_history is definitely worth reading.

The far right occupiers of the Republican party don't get to just say they represent 'real' Americans if they're gonna be so #weird.

Also Good stuff on #civility as a ruse and how the moderate right, while welcome to hang with the Democrats, should not think that they're welcome to redefine what the entire Democratic coalition represents.

"The same circles who have been presenting themselves as uncompromising fighters for free speech, imploring us to understand that speech must not be curtailed just because you (on the Left!) may disagree with it, are now fully on board with speech they don’t like being suppressed by the state.”

Hi @adriandaub,

(1/n) #TESCREAL--the dangerous billionaires' philosophy

I listened to your fascinating interview (1) with #ThomasZimmer. (1)
Also, I had a brief look at your #Wikipedia entry.

When I read in the shownotes that this was about your book, which I haven't read, "What Tech Calls Thinking" is a lively dismantling of the ideas that form the intellectual..
