@EndicottAuthor @anirvan well if they can abduct any non-US citizen without due process, then it was just a matter of time they started doing stuff like above - #dictatorships usually don’t care what citizenship you have,if you and your thoughts are not suitable to the current regime
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.

Arturo Zoffman's lecture at Sabanci University on his new project, ‘The Constitutional Road to Dictatorship’, funded by the European Research Council, is available on YouTube.
The lecture took place in the context of Arturo's research stay funded by the Erasmus+ programme.
It seem like the entire #Trump Admin believe and acts like they are above the law? Almost like a #Cult, but I'm not educated about #dictatorships and #cults. What do you think, #fediverse?
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.

#europeans are also deeply concerned regarding the deals and help of #Trump to #poutine .
#europe is more than ever FIGHTING together with aggressed #Ukraine
Fighting together to save #democracy .
#Putin will not get #Kiev ,

#Russia is rapidly sinking like #titanic
#Trump will not get #greenland
#Trump will not get #canada
#Trump will not get #panama
#China will not get #Taiwan
#dictatorships will be destroyed.

We are very proud to announce that Arturo Zoffmann has received a Starting Grant from the European Research Council!
Over the next five years, through the comparative history of eight European countries, he will try to answer the question: Were states of exception a factor in the rise of European dictatorships in the 20th century?
#SocialMedia #Twitter #Musk #SaudiArabia #Dictatorships: "The list X filed with the court mentions 95 names and legal entities. Some of them are familiar names for Musk-watchers: Andreessen Horowitz, 8VC, Jack Dorsey, Ross Gerber, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Sequoia, et al. There are 26 entries related to Fidelity, the mutual fund colossus. There’s Larry Ellison, the Oracle founder and one of the richest people in the world, along with Sean Combs Capital (yup). There’s Vy Capital, the UAE-based venture capital firm, and something called Q Tetris Holdings LLC, whose directors seem to be part of the Qatari government. Binance, the global crypto giant which recently paid a $4.3 billion fine to the US government for facilitating money laundering by terrorist groups and sanctioned entities, is listed an X investor. (Binance’s CEO, Changpeng Zhao, pleaded guilty to money laundering violations and is finishing up a short stint in federal prison.)
There are two entries for Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal and another for his Kingdom Holding Company, which was the largest outside shareholder of Twitter when it was a public company. Prince Alwaleed briefly opposed Musk’s takeover — prompting some gentle sparring on Twitter — but he soon came around. Given Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman’s years-long crackdown against dissent and powerful businessmen and political rivals — which included imprisoning and torturing hundreds of prominent Saudis, including Prince Alwaleed, in Riyadh’s Ritz Carlton hotel — it’s likely that MBS controls those shares."

Mélanie Toulhoat's doctoral thesis led to the book "Rire de la dictature, rire sous la dictature. Brésil (1964-1982)", published by Presses Sorbonne Nouvelle.
This book reveals the fundamental role of graphic humour and satire in shaping the struggles, as well as asserting the differences and tensions, of democratic opposition movements in #Brazil.

Autocracy, Inc. by Anne Applebaum, 2024
The Dictators Who Want to Run the World
At the center of the book is a network (not an axis, alliance or bloc) of dictatorships: Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela, Syria, Cuba, Belarus, Myanmar, Zimbabwe, North Korea plus a dozen-odd others who are seeking to change the international system in order to keep their regimes in power and to preserve their leaders’ wealth.

That is one #Meme I *never* understood.
"#Businesses" are #DICTATORSHIPS run for #PROFIT.
"#Government" is a non-profit SERVICE whose leaders are answerable to the people.
