On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century | Timothy Snyder

A little all-over-the-place, but then again, so am I.

Deblovestoread All of this! And thanks for posting the actions list. With all that‘s thrown at us it would be near impossible to not be all over the place but we will do it together. 1w

Leftcoastzen Great post ! 1w

lil1inblue @Deblovestoread You're welcome! IRL, I often hear people talk about how they aren't able to protest for myriad reasons. But protesting comes in more forms than marching with a sign! 1w

This book was published in 2017 as a direct response to and rebuke of 🍊1. Now we‘re here again but it‘s even worse, making this book more relevant still. The key is: if enough of us fight against this crap, we‘ll protect our democracy. So, please read it and whatever way you choose, STAND FAST AND FIGHT!

Fontamara | Ignazio Silone

pick

“Could we protest? We could not. It was all legal. The only thing that would have been illegal would have been for us to protest”
This book left a lasting impression. Written in 1930 it follows the experience of Cafone - peasants - of the fictional mountain village of Fontamara in Italy during the rise of fascism, and the happenings around them.

danx Surprisingly easy to read and engaging, I‘d not heard of Silone before it caught my attention in a book sale. 100 years and so relevant today. Keen to find his ‘Bread and Wine‘ now. 3w

Dilara I could have sworn I'd never heard of this book or author, and it sounded like the sort of thing I'd like so I went to add it to my LibraryThing wishlist, and what do you know? It's already in it, and has been for over a year... So thank you for putting in back on my radar 😀 😊 3w

danx @Dilara it seems not well known. I‘m glad for the combination of a used book sale in a local hall and my curiosity when I spotted this. Even more so that I can spread the interest a little further, and I look forward to another‘s review in Litsy. 3w

Naturally, Snyder‘s 20 rules on tyranny are pertinent & should be read & absorbed by everyone. But I am so grateful I was able to listen to this expanded edition. Snyder goes deep into the Ukraine/Russian War and how central Ukraine has been to history.

I learned so much & I cannot recommend this version enough.

Chrissyreadit adding to my audio tbr Thanks for sharing! #readingispolitical #antifabookclub 1mo

BC_Dittemore @Chrissyreadit you won‘t be disappointed. 1mo

We first heard "El Pueblo Unido" years ago when we were gifted this Inti-Illimani Historico anthology by some Chilean friends. My teen rediscovered it through friends two weeks ago and has been playing it daily on piano. It feels appropriate and moving at the moment.

Sace PS: this would be a great song to teach the future tense in Spanish (I have teacher brain 😂) 2mo

ImperfectCJ @Sace It very much would be! I should suggest it to my son's Spanish teacher this next year (if she's not already thought of it). 2mo

I shed happy tears this morning. 5,000 protesters in Marquette. 7% of the county's population. Up from 3,500 at the last big protest. I have hope today.

Nebklvr The protests help 2mo

Trashcanman I don‘t know if it‘s just me but people caring on like nothings fucking wrong in this country is fucking sickening. People going on with mundane bullshit oblivious to what is happening just demonstrates their privilege and lack of humanity. Thank you for being real. 2mo

itsjustme40something Yes the gaslighting that this is normal or acceptable or anything other than horrific is way past sickening. I cant remeber where I heard it, but someone said privilege is seen in deciding if you care. And its enraging to me how many people don't 2mo
