Timothy Snyder
“The absence of freedom threatens life, just as threats to life undermine freedom.”
Timothy Snyder, On Freedom

Timothy Snyder
“When we are very young, we all need someone else's goodwill if we are to learn to stand at all. Because we live in time in a certain direction, we cannot make up later for what we were not given earlier.”
Timothy Snyder, On Freedom

Timothy Snyder
“Although sometimes presented as the natural result of capitalism, the American Dream depended on social policies developed after the capitalist collapse of the Great Depression. It lasted until its origins were forgotten and capitalism itself was enthroned as the lone source of freedom. That happened in the 1980s.”
Timothy Snyder, On Freedom

Timothy Snyder
“Tyrannies make anxiety seem normal. They attach a threat to a group (in this case Blacks) whom the authorities don’t really fear, then boast to their supporters of having protected them from that threat. They substitute relief from fear for freedom and teach citizens to confuse the two. The cycle of anxiety and release is not liberation, of course, but manipulation. It is not immobilizing the way that prison is. It is nevertheless a policy of immobility that extends from the Black bodies on the inside to other American minds on the outside.”
Timothy Snyder, On Freedom

Timothy Snyder
“Social media make us more predictable than we need to be and so easier to rule.”
Timothy Snyder, On Freedom
