#dictatorships

1 post1 participant0 posts today

A president after Mr Trumps heart? or not? and does he have one?
These people are literally everywhere and becoming emboldened.

The world needs to stand up against them .Trump praises them.
Democracy is the casualty.

Erdogan possibly felt he can get away with this under the current US regime.

Continued thread

In this prerogative state, #judges & other legal actors deferred to the #racist hierarchies & ruthless expediencies of the #Nazi regime.

The key here is that this prerogative state does not immediately & completely overrun the normative state. Rather, Fraenkel argued, #dictatorships create a #lawless zone that runs alongside the normative state. The 2 states cohabit uneasily & unstably. On any given day, people or cases could be jerked out of the normative state & into the prerogative one.

The lecture took place in the context of Arturo's research stay funded by the Erasmus+ programme.

We are live witnessing the rapid collapse of the #USA by the new #fascist world order, now under the umbrella of the axis of #dictatorships.
What a time to be alive for someone who grew up in the #ColdWar.

May the people rise up against this tide and build a fairer and just society the without hyper-#capitalism that led to its demise.

In the meantime the first steps towards collapse in The #Netherlands is becoming more solid, with a #Putin-apologist leading its puppet cabinet to stagnate and sabotaging ours.

Something always drove me crazy was when people said that they "wanted #government run like a #business." 😒

I'd tell them, "Businesses are #dictatorships. Their job is to turn a profit while the job of government is to provide a service regardless of cost. And if you don't like the job your gov't is doing, you can 'fire' them by voting them out. If a CEO screws you over, tough luck."

Simple Sabotage for the 21st Century

The most potent tools for fighting #injustice are the ones already in your hands.

Looks to be inspired by the US government’s declassified field manual 'Simple #Sabotage Field #Manual’ from 1944. But it’s updated for the #digital, current world.
