“It’s a #Vichy moment in American #history,” Michael Roth, the president of Wesleyan University, told me... “Like I have a restaurant & if I #collaborate with the Nazis & don’t let any Jews eat here, then the guys who wash dishes will still have jobs. As you know, that slope is very slippery. #Appeasement doesn’t end well.”
...
"when you engage in the #collaboration, you actually encourage them to do even worse stuff.”

Text from article: ROTH’S VICHY ANALOGY IS EXACT. In 1940, the French hoped to preserve part of “free France” by making a separate peace with the Nazis and setting up a puppet regime under Marshal Philippe Pétain based in Vichy, while the Germans occupied and ruled northern France. The arrangement lasted only until the Gestapo decided otherwise in 1942 and “free France” fell increasingly under direct Nazi rule. Preserving a Columbia that is partly free is the same sort of fantasy. The rest of Columbia is free only until Trump decides to escalate his demands and seize more territory. Wesleyan has the same kinds of federal funding streams at risk as larger universities: research grants from NIH and NSF, as well as Pell grants to students and the federal student loan program. I asked Roth if speaking out puts all of these at risk. “Of course, I think about that,” Roth said. “And then I think that’s the classic collaborationist dilemma, right? You know, you collaborate with authoritarians who you know are in the wrong, in order to keep them from doing worse stuff. And I think when you do that, when you engage in the collaboration, you actually encourage them to do even worse stuff.”

"As soon as it was established, Pétain's government took measures against the undesirables, namely Jews, métèques (foreigners), Freemasons, and Communists. The persecution of these four groups was inspired by Charles Maurras’ concept of the Anti-France, or INTERNAL FOREIGNERS, which he defined as the 'four confederate states of Protestants, Jews, Freemasons, and foreigners.' The regime also persecuted Romani people, homosexuals, and left-wing activists in general." en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A #vichy

4. Tell the #ndp to meet with the new liberal leader, make a deal to keep parliament until the fixed October election date, to let #BigHands show us all how much #GovernorPoilievre is a #vichy fuck, so the rest of the country can support and introduce a proportional representation system before October. Elections.ca knows how to implement it. What do you think they DO for 4 years between elections, except plan shit.

Capitulating to Trump: why people are warning about ‘Vichy’ America : At the dawn of the second Trump presidency, defiance has given way to compliance.

While Donald Trump has rapidly and ruthlessly thrown the federal government into unprecedented chaos, the leaders of the Democratic party have offered up little more than limp banalities and platitudes. #USPolitics #Trump #USDemocrats #Vichy

“If you want an analogy for the present state of America it’s perhaps not an out-and-out fascist regime, but a Vichy regime It’s partly fascist but mostly just a reactionary and defeatist catch-all. It’s a regime born of capitulation and of defeat: of the slow and then sudden collapse of the longstanding institutions of a great democracy whose defenders turned out to be senile and unable to cope with or understand modern politics.”

« Au village de Reillanne, c’est le jour de la commémoration. On se souvient de la dernière rafle opérée par les autorités de #Vichy sur le territoire français en Mai 1944, à la demande des nazis. 54 vies arrachées à l'humanité, internées puis déportées en Pologne pour être exterminées à #Auschwitz. »

Une petite minorité d’hommes bien-nés exercèrent un pouvoir despotique sur leurs concitoyens au nom d’une conception aristocratique de la société, à deux reprises vers l’an 400 avant notre ère.

Après la capitulation, "l’Ekklesia (assemblée) athénienne se divisa rapidement en trois camps : les partisans d’une "patrios politeia" (constitution ancestrale), ceux qui souhaitaient conserver une démocratie et ceux qui voulaient une oligarchie". L’opposition à toute résolution était principalement menée par la faction démocratique. Le débat et l’inaction se poursuivirent jusqu’en septembre 404 avant notre ère, quand les Spartiates choisirent d’intervenir. Ils demandèrent aux Athéniens de choisir trente hommes pour gérer toutes les affaires de la polis.
"Les Trente évitèrent d’abord de rédiger une constitution précise. Ils cherchèrent plutôt à a) établir un gouvernement intérimaire fonctionnel; b) éliminer les opposants; et c) réformer les lois".
