Snyder describes Hitler’s ideology as a myth of racialist struggle in which 'there are really no values in the world except for the stark reality that we are born in order to take things from other people.' Or as we often hear these days, that acting in accordance with this principle is the 'smart' thing to do. Like many far right figures before and after, Hitler aimed to restore a state of nature that for him was a perpetual state of race war for imperial dominance." </p><p><a href="https://www.openculture.com/2017/01/20-lessons-from-the-20th-century-about-how-to-defend-democracies-from-authoritarianism.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">openculture.com/2017/01/20-les</span><span class="invisible">sons-from-the-20th-century-about-how-to-defend-democracies-from-authoritarianism.html</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>History</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Histodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Histodon</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hitler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hitler</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Authoritarianism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HyperCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HyperCapitalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorporateFascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorporateColonialism</span></a></p>

Francisca Sinn<p>“historian Timothy Snyder [taught] a course at Yale University called The Making of Modern Ukraine. And he’s generously making the lectures available on YouTube–so that you can follow along too. All of the currently-available lectures appear above… A syllabus for the course can be found here.”</p><p>These are excellent. They were posted a couple of years ago, just as relevant today. I have’t watched all yet but will.</p><p><a href="https://www.openculture.com/2022/09/the-making-of-modern-ukraine-a-free-online-course-from-yale-professor-timothy-snyder.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">openculture.com/2022/09/the-ma</span><span class="invisible">king-of-modern-ukraine-a-free-online-course-from-yale-professor-timothy-snyder.html</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/TimothySnyder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TimothySnyder</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/FreeLectures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeLectures</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ukraine</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Putin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Putin</span></a></p>
