Where America stands, one year after the election.

A fascistic movement controls the government; they are building an authoritarian state; but they have not been able yet to extend authoritarian rule across society. A democracy no more, but not a consolidated autocratic regime yet.

For no particular reason, reminding y'all that Brown U scholars estimate that U.S. led post-9/11 war & violence in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, & Pakistan from 2001-2023 resulted in a total death toll of at least 4.5-4.7 million people & counting, mostly Muslim civilians.

Still no WMDs though.🤔

“Individuals on the ground sent a message that reached us Monday morning that 1,200 were dead,” Nathaniel Raymond, the lab’s executive director, said. “By that evening, they said 10,000. By Tuesday, we couldn’t reach them anymore. We assume our ground contacts are dead.”

New figures on Canada’s top income earners were released today by StatsCan. In 2023, the top 1% took home $606,000 in total income, and $778,500 after dividends and capital gains were thrown in – down from the 40 year high reported in 2021 but still above pre-pandemic levels. 🧵 1/5

I imagine there must have been some heated discussions about the book at the ASEEES. Samuel Moyn, as so often, wrote a really good review of it.

Interesting, I wouldn't have associated Snyder's argument, which I found a bit elusive, with Foucault. My sense is that some people hesitated before what they saw as an authoritarianism redux argument.

Talbot Imlay @talbotimlay.bsky.social · 13d
Yes Hanebrink's book is very good. I would be surprised if anyone took up Nolte's argument. There is Timothy Snyder's Bloodlands which, while steering clear of Nolte, did make a argument about the larger context.

talbotimlay.bsky.social
Talbot Imlay @talbotimlay.bsky.social · 13d
I haven't read the book but from the blurb the argument doesn't sound pathbreakingly new. Hitler and the Nazis' obsessive hatred of Judeo-Bolshevism - the amalgam of the Soviet Union, bolshevism and the Jews - is well known, isn't it?

Je serais le dernier à défendre le gouvernement Legault et cette loi est éléctoraliste au fond. Mais j'aimerais avoir l'histoire de ces "négociations" avec les médecins. Qu'est-ce que ces derniers proposent à part d'une immense augmentation de dépenses en santé.

En fait, le disours "nataliste" n'a pas grande chose a voir avec une politique pro-natalité (d'ailleurs, regarde les chiffres -- le Québec n'est pas très loin de la Suède). La fonction de ce discours est, comme dans le passé, de sanctionner le racisme.
