Historian and anti-totalitarian writer @TimothyDSnyder on the situation in Russia.

Historians take the long view.

After the Bolshevik Revolution, Russia signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and pulled out of World War I.

Whatever happens now can't be great for Putin. He brought this unprovoked war upon himself and eventually he'll have to pay for it.

Putin isn't a titanic world leader, he's the RMS Titanic of world leaders.

In mid-August 1991 Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev survived a coup by hardline (and apparently drunk) Communists. But by the end of the month, Ukraine declared independence and by the end of the year the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics ceased to exist. Before the decade was over, Gorbachev was doing commercials for Pizza Hut.

There's a torrent of unconfirmed reports. One which could be true is that Putin ally President Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus has flown to Turkey.

EDIT: I frequently check in with this Telegram channel by a Russian student in exile in Georgia who fled soon after Putin's invasion. He still has contacts in Russia. His name for the channel "Russia Tomorrow" is a dig at the official Russia propaganda outlet Russia Today.

This is what happens when you don't obey the law.

If it's good enough for Michael Brown it's good enough for Asshli Babble.

You're welcome, right wing subhuman trash. Suck it!

Their civil war is already under way.

November 10, 2022

With every imagined outrage — from the Mueller investigation to anti-COVID mask mandates to the FBI "raid" of Mar-a-Lago — the MAGA mob and its adherents on social media threaten to unleash civil war upon our nation. According to a recent survey by the Public Religion Research Institute, 30% of Republicans agree with the idea that “true American patriots may have to resort to violence in order to save our country.”

Unsurprisingly, the GOP’s warm embrace of their radicalized base has fostered an alarming increase in right-wing violence. In fact, an asymmetric guerilla war of assassination and terrorism waged by the right against its perceived enemies has been going on for some time. Targets in this war to "save America" include election workers, medical personnel, journalists, teachers, federal law enforcement, Jews, African-Americans and, most especially, Democratic elected office-holders.

This one-sided conflict is being waged by organized groups, like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers who attacked the Capitol in January 2021. And the militias that stormed the Michigan capitol building in April 2020. And the criminal gang that was convicted last month of plotting to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

One Ohio member of another such group, the Boogaloo Bois, was arrested by the FBI last week and had a history of vowing to kill police and other government officials. A search of his home uncovered an arms cache of military-style weapons, including homemade machine guns, stockpiled silencers, bomb-making materials and a rifle-mounted grenade launcher.

“Lone wolf” individuals motivated by right-wing propaganda also seek to carry out this war. Like the MAGA-deluded man who attacked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband. Or the armed man who died attempting to breach an FBI office in August because he was upset about the bureau’s Mar-a-Lago search. “We must respond with force,” he wrote on Trump’s Truth Social website.

The same day as the Pelosi attack, a Pennsylvania man pleaded guilty to threatening to kill Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and his staff. As The New York Times reports,

In the five years since Mr. Trump was elected in 2016, the number of recorded threats against members of Congress increased more than tenfold, to 9,625 in 2021, according to the Capitol Police.

These are all part of the right's continuing armed insurgency. And a study from the Center for Strategic and International Studies last year found that, since 2015, right-wing extremists were involved in 267 plots or attacks. Americans need to understand that a 21st century Civil War isn't just a MAGA fantasy. It's happening now.

time: hey twilight?

twilight: oh hylia, not the bad jokes again

time: no, it’s good this time i swear! ready?

time: so what did the serial killer say before—

wild, getting up and leaving: please don’t joke about murder you guys. i was murdered once and it offends me

time: h

time: h he

time: he’s joking right

twilight: ………i don’t know

#twilight says i don’t know but he’s definitely having flashbacks to all the stupid shit wild did before and is thinking yeah probably #wild is definitely capable of pissing someone off to the point of them trying to assainate him #which i mean #there’s the yiga #but still with some of the shit people do in botw i wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch of disgruntled npcs started up some armed rebellion #like that one guy in tarrey town who screams at you for standing on his table #he’s gonna snap eventually #linked universe #incorect linked universe quotes #lu wild #lu time #lu twilight #lu

"We don't hate Jews and fight them because they are Jews. Jews are people of a religion, and we are people of a religion. We love all people of different religions. My brother even if he is my brother and he is a Muslim—if he steals my house and kicks me out, I will resist him."

— Sheikh Ahmed Ismail Hassan Yassin, founder of Hamas.

#yes the 1988 charter is very fundie islamic and uses an antisemitic hadith. it has been changed #but you cannot possibly treat antisemitism as something separate from the geo-political character of the situation #hate as a reaction to oppression vs hate as a reaction to paranoia. one is human the other is always a deflection from the legitimate threat #there's really no point asking colonizers to feel the suffering of the colonized #or to treat them as human beings who wouldn't make these choices if anything else had ever worked #none of the people criticising armed revolt and suicide attacks consider how intolerable the occupation must be to prefer death #how armed rebellion is the choice made between dying a victim and dying a fighter #i am literally the last person to advocate for armed rebellion until and unless every other option is exhausted #the same value for human life that makes violence the last resort must embrace violence when it is the last resort #decolonization #free palestine #hamas #glory to the resistance #knee of huss

Samuel neilson approving this for printing after another long day of the united irishmen encouraging individuals to commit acts which will both directly and indirectly tend to aid the king's enemies:

Madoka Kaname has had a pleasant 10,000 years.

Homura Akemi has decided to try again.

(Pmmm & hnk crossover)

#houseki no kuni #puella magi madoka magica #crossover #madoka kaname #this is post rebellion characterization! #I wasn’t sure how to combine the plots without time travel until I realized #one way time travel! #so Madoka gets shattered early on (think when phos loses arms) so homura spends her time rebuilding her with discarded gem pieces #(rutile and padparadscha dynamics/phos getting a new head) #Madoka is positively cobbled together ( I based the look off of homuras corrupted gem in rebellion) but still doesn’t wake up #witches (lunarians) attack and madoka is taken and woken up on the moon. quite literally hell up there #witches don’t have as nice of a time as their counterparts #somewhere along madoka and homura switch places and things play out like in hnk #I’ll get the full details lined out in a lore specific post lol #Madoka literally has a pleasant 10000 years #pmmm spoilers #hnk spoilers

Things happen and she's reborn as a vampire let me just say molag bal wants #her dead and both me & sibylla want that bitch dead so we're a team. #still working on my google doc with the info might share it when done idk...if anyone wants to hear the Lore..play with our ocs like dolls #in my tes phase again fr. reading the lore isn't enough i need to get run over with it #oc: hiraeth #oc: sibylla #oc: dervera #these picrew is so cute i might add it into the doc #i'm so brain dead with them that i kept typing lore while watching masterchef 🇮🇹. didn't follow the ep with the 3 stars michelin #restaurants WTF WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME that's usually my fave ep. oc love makes me do silly things

Being a Paladin of Lolth, means Minthara is still a Lolth walking encyclopedia and unironically by leading a rebellion against Lolth would actually gain her favor.

#[ 🕷️ ] —— musings #[ not me reading that she favors her follows who tend to rebel a little ] #[ now it raises the question after a successful rebellion would minth accept an embrace back into Lolth’s arms but as her matron and #with* all the powers of authority that comes with it ] #[ hmmm something to think about. ] #[ it’s so funny to me that minth has so many gods eyes on her for someone going through a #religion break up ]

While thinking about violent revolutions and the like earlier I thought about that dictator from my country of origin that my parents loved, and specifically about how an artist once drew him as an anime girl who actually looks a little bit like me.

#anyway the armed rebellion against him failed but a peaceful general strike did force him to abdicate #he then fled to guatemala (and later honduras) and died in exile
