U.S. historian Robert Kagan: "We are watching a country fall under dictatorship almost without resistance" - Lemmy.World

The Cold War? Child’s play compared to what lies ahead, according to U.S. historian Robert Kagan. Trump, he says, is leading the world into the most dangerous era since 1945.

It is hilarious to me and also annoying that they say there is no resistance. Millions are flooding the streets. Record protests. Hundreds of thousands have made networks of information systems. But yeah sure no resistance. A toy company took the administration to Supreme Court and won but okay yeah no resistance . Women gassed and burned ice warehouses but okkkkk no resistance. Kids punching nazis. No resistance. Ridiculous.

Oh boy, so this is what you think resistance is? I’m afraid you’re even more fucked than I was afraid of.

I’m sure that wherever you’re from has some history of armed uprising. Heck, you might have even been a part of it. But this is still the keyboard warrior trope. There are definitely more productive and friendly ways to explain that you think it’s going to take a lot more than what has already been tried than treating strangers in conflict zones like your own personally loathed chess pieces.
