{{Cquote|This year we have seen that explicit Nazi ideas are tolerated in the Trump milieu....Trump and Vance are running a fascist campaign....Now, the Hitlerian things that Trump says would be Hitlerian with or without this Hitlerian context of the last four years, the last year, or the last month. And this context would be Hitlerian with or without Trump's recent Hitlerian utterances.|||[[Timothy Snyder]]}}

{{Cquote|Timothy Snyder is one of the most influential and prominent public intellectuals today. Among historians, he is very successful, sold many many books and he has incredibly successful substack, writing about not so much history as current day politics with a bit of a historical angle. And his success comes from many strengths, his scholarship, his prose, and some of his big ideas about European history. But his role as a public intellectual, commenting on controversial public events, including [[Democracy in America]] and the [[war in Ukraine]] has, I think compromised the quality of his [[history]].
His big ideas might have become big [[lies]] around 2016. He stopped really being a [[historian]] and became a [[pundit]], even a [[prophet]], warning about rising [[authoritarianism]] and [[tyranny]], especially in the form of [[Donald Trump]] and [[Vladimir Putin]]...}}

{{Cquote|A process some [[psychologist]]s call Fusion appeared to occur in Snyder's mind. [[Trump]] really was [[Hitler]]. [[Putin]] really was [[Stalin]]. And all his life Snyder had taught himself, had schooled himself to believe that Hitler and Stalin were equal evils, [[Ukraine]] was really a [[democracy]] and Snyder really was like [[Dietrich Bonhoeffer]], opposing evil...}}

"Stand out. Believe in truth. Listen for dangerous words". Rarely has deep reflection, deep scholarship and knowledge of the horrors of the 20th century produced such banality of [[virtue]]. Snyder even did not take his own advice. His explication of his Ohio preacher boy homily to listen for "dangerous words" was "be alert to the use of the words, [[extremism]] and [[terrorism]]. Be alive to fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of the [[patriotic]] vocabulary". Yet since 2022 such dangerous words like "[[Slava Ukraine]]", declaimed by the [[patriotic]] killers,
[[terrorist]]s of the 1930s like [[Stepan Bandera]] have driven Snyder to urge Ukrainians into a new Bloodlands to sacrifice themselves in hundreds of
thousands...}}
