General Discussion

cancelled out of a mix of empathy and pity (but I digress).

I unsubscribed from a lot of newsletters and substacks, not because they were bad or deficient in any way (they are good), but to intentionally begin to limit my exposure to what I suspect is coming.

There is one substack I might join: Ruth Ben-Ghiat's (if she still does one). She is so brilliant. I just felt that after reading her book and hearing so many of her interviews (many of which are on YouTube) I more less understand her analysis of strongmen and autocratic societies. But I do constantly wonder what she is thinking about "this" and "that."

Others I might look into:
Timothy Snyder
find out if Anne Applebaum has a newsletter or substack
Jason Stanley, the expert on fascism.
