God bless you Timothy Snyder.

Fascinating presentation. I always learn new things from Professor Snyder.

Another enlightening lecture from one of Americas foremost thinkers and scholars.

Superbly done.

Thanks for Uploading.

Illuminating, insightful and as far as my knowledge goes, original. An impressive piece of work.

Timothy Snyder is one of my most admired academics across all fields of study.

Are there any Timothy Snyder t-shirts on sale?

Brilliant.

Thank you Professor! I hope he will be holding some lectures in Italy.

High quality video! Thank you!

Yep Prof. Snyder, Your work and It's affects, have opened fo you,a path of a life'spersutes like nunother will follow Placing your legacy amongst the Greatest of History. I am honored to have ben taught by You. Thank You Sir , C&E*Ca.USA

Imagine if Hitler had taken a slower approach, a la the Monroe doctrine. The US took 80 years to claim and occupy most of the continental territory. 1. That's a scary thought - slow European Holocaust 2. It shows how our own US history was in fact a slow Holocaust for pre American peoples. The parallels are scary. If we think about this in depth, the US was not the first to do this either. What we need to do is to continue to fight these urges, don't follow Hitler's idea of competition, but strive for what he called the Jewish ideas of cohabitation and mutual success. And not just when it's convenient.

Min 9:00 Does the social construct of race inevitably lead to racism? 🤔 Brilliant lecture BTW 🙂

Ok

I just heard about this guy, but for some reason he's disabled the comments on all his own videos so I'll post here. This guy seems very adamant about manipulation of social media using bots and other tactics being very prominent and not a small problem, which I agree with. But he also seem to be very adamant about that this influence comes from outside the United States. I was considering getting one of his books, but was wondering if anyone could direct me to some information about his position on deep state and corruption coming from within the US? Just so many people trying to make excuses for the US right now that I'd like to be informed before investing my time in his work. Thanks. Also, you might want to tip him about that the younger generation will not listen to him if he blocks the comment section. Interactivity is probably the biggest advantage a platform such as youtube have over regular TV and young people today often demand it, they won't listen to people who won't listen to them I think is the principle there, can't say I disagree.

What about what is happening and has been happening for 400 years?

I can understand that the nuremberg laws and antisemitism didn’t cause the holocaust but it’s hard to see how it could of happened without them.

It’s a nice theory, but fails I believe. The Jews of the Netherlands were citizens of the state. The state was not destroyed, instead the SS was imposed on top in place of the Dutch government which was in London. It was Dutch policemen who delivered deportation orders to Jews. Instead the Dutch government ceded the state to the Germans by fleeing. In Belgium where the king stayed the casualty rate among Jews was much less. A better question would be to ask what remained of the state. In France which had a collaborationist state Jews had an even better chance to survive.

I never blame German for Holocaust. I live in indonesia, in 1997 financial crisi asian flue, the locals blame chinese Indonesia for oil prices hike and collapse of the currency. Chinese indonesia population only 1%. many chinese die and their house burn. and Local Gov Soeharto at that time did not counter this argument. If many people believe it, it become a mainstream belief without Facts. this is principle of religious people. The same case with German, their gov at that time did not counter Hitler argument with facts. eventually, it become mainstream belief. 😔 Good decent citizen can be a mass murderer if they are facing hardship and found out its threat.

Problem of understanding reality are related to technology ⚙ Ends & Means: Alfred the Great 860 AD wanted everyone to read and write however the printing press was not available until 1440 Gutenberg. 😥 William the conqueror 1066 hoped for a new advance and prosperous society he invented the surveys however communication as he expected failed until the radio 📻 1895 Marconi. the same events took place in 1900 However since the 1492 / 1500 & 1776* bankers & merchants industrialist so called republics independence & bankers DEBT a push to technology was possible and rapidly evolution took place 1776 became the bankers & merchants industrialist KINGDOM: however they did not have the knowledge understanding nobility class and refinement that Alfred The Great had in 860 AD . they themselves believed that they are the new world same as 1913 Fed Bankers DEBT civilization that accelerated ⚙ at the same time the opposed minds of Karl's MARKS and philosophers understanding that the BANKERS merchants wizards did not how to improve society but where quite aware how by economical means manipulate minds the new born merchants of Venice did all they could to control everyone ignoring the enlighten. the powerful economical mindless barons opted for wars and destruction to keep their power manipulating politicians media and laws to their benefit, they failed to create a cultural society they did not had the how too and to keep their power economical wealth wars and DEBT is all they had!! & a string of wars became their tool of coercion since 1776/ 1913/ on one side technology evolved as expected society intelligence decency honesty human kind declined rapidly. The good news is that technology has reached the desired point. the Bad news is that the mindless uneducated current economical Barons do not understand the occidental culture and the evolution it has taken place however they claim they are the Occident and refuse to admit their own ignorance. Reason why the one that controls the past controls the future & the one the controls the future controls the present & the new modern middle ages will not be on the hands of the 1913 bankers merchants & industrialist DEBT civilization . The new world order is now in place and hopefully it happens on a noble civilize way😥🛡💐⚔🌎🍮⚖🎨🍾

Worst time to open with a joke

Watched another talk about this book where Professor Snyder asserted that the Germans didn't plan the Holocaust, that it just happened, and I wanted to query, "Well, what about the Wannsee Conference?," but the comments were turned off.

Wait a second here... Are you saying that America was the apex of higher living standards in that time? I don't think so, Germans were above America in living standards during the Weimar republic. European standards of living was the apex during that time that Americans aspire to.

ne len Holokaust ale aj vojenské ale aj ďalšie vojny napríklad Napoleona ktorý mal mal podobné indície ako Nemecko

Profesor koľko sú pod Teplom Vatikánu mŕtvy pre to že stohu vychádza strach 😱

I wish this fellow would spend as much time telling everybody 'why the world hates Jews?'.......that should be the subject of this dissertation. Tell us all 'why'? so that we understand the whole picture!

BS

Snyder, what we are interested in is which branch of your ancestors mixed with monkeys? And yours intellectual regurgitation about Europeans and, above all, about Russians and the Slavic world is of no interest to anyone.

Brilliant.
