AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
For context Libs on Bsky are passing aroudn this fascists shithead’s bullshit book “On Tyranny” as a manual for “resisting authoritarianism” THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE YOU LIBERAL SHITWIPES!
I like wsws even though they’re trots
must’ve missed their apologetics for any celebrity accused of SA since woody allen
I don’t think anything will go as hard as Furr’s ‘Blood Lies: The Evidence that Every Accusation against Joseph Stalin and the Soviet Union in Timothy Snyder’s “Bloodlands” Is False’. Say whatever you want about Furr, but his titles crack me up
This is one of the best takedowns of On Tyranny which is in reality one of those “should have been a blog post” drivel books that I’ve read:
Look, nobody’s ever written anything about resisting tyranny, doing a revolution, or existing in a world that’s kind of your hell. Certainly nothing about fighting fascists.
It’s not a new problem, but it’s an absolute research orphan.
The headline
Timothy Snyder’s Bloodlands: Right-wing propaganda disguised as historical scholarship — Part One The false presentation of the Soviet famine as a “deliberate” policy of mass murder

Did you respond to the wrong post? Idk how that relates to it…
OP’s original post is obviously about Bloodlands and how Bsky libs are praising it… I don’t understand what yer talkin’ of?
My lib mom (who is somewhat well read) loves this fucking hack and this book in particular
