Well we all know that Fascism experts are the least important people to have around when Fascism takes over a country.
Technically you can criticize from afar but it’s good to have fascism experts on the front lines.
This is also an incredibly privileged thing to be able to do and one that the vast majority of the most vulnerable and likely to be on the camp list are stuck here and would like some experts to help fight back.
Oh, it opens with a 6min unskippable video. instead of an article, on a website that still has the line “Today’s Paper” at the top of the page.
At this point I’m convinced that the NYT is living in the 2000s.
It should have been clear when the police was cracking down on the university protests in 2024.
2024? Not Bush II? Full blown fascism has just been on the back burner for a long time.
Well, that was a little terrifying
Must be nice.
Good idea - it’s best to study fascism from a healthy distance.
Good for them.
To be fair many of the US media outlets, among which is also the New York Times often refused to call out the utter nonsense that Trump was spewing during the campaign. This is also a reason it has come to the current situation.
considering the actions of the current administration it would have probably been better to publish this after leaving the US
Must be nice to be able to afford to run.
Where would you even move to?
“Fascist expert”, hm like, a historian ? lol sorry I don’t speak the nytimes-language
Not just historian, but a specific type of political historian. “Historian” is a broad umbrella - Snyder is the only one I’ve read, but he’s very much focused specifically on authoritarianism, fascism and genocide. His Bloodlands is kinda the book on mass killings by Nazis and the USSR.
Adios! Thanks for taking the money!
