Brilliantly researched in all aspects of the technocratic apparatus that's been set up all around us by the elite.

It's very well written, thoroughly eye-opening, and thought-provoking.

Some may dismiss this as tin hat nonsense, but they won‘t be able to argue with the facts and reference material.

Slim, surrealist novel based on a day in an author‘s life in Syria. It felt so much like Kafka but also seemed inspired by the self-exiled author‘s experiences. I found it fascinating but also tough (oppressive government, male dominated society, so much ego). It left me wondering how much is based on fact? #FoodandLit #Syria

While in DC last month, I had to visit the Holocaust Museum. This was one of the first exhibits I saw there. I couldn‘t help but think of what‘s happening right now with our books, libraries and teachers.

SqueakyChu Fabulous book! I saved my copy, and I don‘t purposely save too many books I‘ve already read. 1y
KateKintail @SqueakyChu I really want to read the graphic novel version of it now! 1y
SqueakyChu @KateKintail I didn‘t know there was a graphic version of it! I‘ll have to try to find it as well. Jose often sees Timothy Snyder commenting on CNN during the evening news (which I avoid on purpose). 1y

Informative, short, and to the point. Perfect introduction read for understanding society and politics.

"The leader who dislikes the investigators is a potential tyrant."

"If tyrants feel no consequences for their actions in the three-dimensional world, nothing will change."

5 years later, and this book is still 100% relevant.

Every voting person should read this book. And vote. Definitely vote.

Snyder has sort of distilled the essence of his greater works into a how-to (or how-not-to, as it were). Some very good points here. I‘ll definitely be revisiting this, and I would recommend it.

When you‘re an atheist musician whose major employer is a church, and you‘re a feminist reeling from the loss of liberty courtesy of the Supreme Court but have a 4th of July gig at said church…you practice quietly subversive reading before the performance starts.

Amiable Amen. 🙌🏼 2y
