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.
Be calm when the unthinkable arrives.
Whether real or fake, tyrants will utilize emergency events to consolidate power.
“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 🙄
“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
(Læs: #Rusland 🇷🇺)
@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.

Timothy Snyder, a historian and former Yale professor, argues that the Trump administration’s aggressive foreign policy—particularly its prolonged war with Iran—is driven not by ideological fascism but by personal greed, noting that Trump has profited at least $1.4 billion from his presidency. He criticizes Trump and his allies, such as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, for lacking genuine strategic vision, calling them “failed fascists” who prefer to delegate violent actions while focusing on amassing wealth. Snyder points out that this profit motive undermines effective governance, as the administration prioritizes lucrative deals and personal enrichment over the functioning of the state and the pursuit of genuine diplomatic solutions.

Timothy #Snyder Apr 21, 2026
“Superpower Suicide” is a concept to help understand the approach of the #Trump regime to the rest of the world. We are fighting a war for no reason we can name, losing it, and covering our defeat with genocidal and apocalyptic propaganda.
