I have quoted Timothy Snyder and his book "On Tyranny" for years.
"Do not obey in advance" was Snyder's first directive...

Guess we stupid, poor people will stand our ground, then. It was always going to be a 'boots on the ground' fight anyway.
Cool that the *elites* can advise from afar tho, I'll be waiting with baited breath for my directive through signal chat.
Class war, as they've always been.
I am disappointed.
It is extremely pertinent to our current situation.
That said - I researched it, and there may be personal issues involved.
But it still looks pretty...well, less than brave.
This is a coordinated effort by oligarchs to change the global order, starting with attacking the US from within in the 70s (see "Dark Money").
Every nation will be attacked in turn.
All will fall unless we fight back and win.

I'm guessing that his being a father was a big factor (I think he & Shore hv 2 teens); Stanley said it was a big factor for him.
I think that many of his admirers would be less disappointed if they were to read this excerpt. Thanks for sharing it.

Just look at Navalny in Russia. He went back. He’s dead. Can’t help anyone now.
They gave us the early warning.
When they start to leave, it’s a sign we are in SERIOUS trouble. 🚨
I am vigourously not in support of privileged running north. I get that it’s scary. I don’t want to be in your shoes. But the fact is it’s YOUR COUNTRY & you need to stay home & fight, to fix what you collectively broke.
But now they run north for the safety we offer.
STAY HOME.
Recent polls have revealed that nearly half of Americans still support tRump & (thankfully) the # is decreasing.
While it’s impossible to understand/accept that 30+m voted for him, The World fears for themselves. Know that we… /1
All #scientists of #Color must leave NOW!!
Expect to see an exodus of those who have the means or an invitation based on their occupation.
I fear we will be silenced on social media soon. We will be alone and isolated and suspicious of our neighbors.

Just like the many German artists, directors and actors who fled Germany and Europe when the Nazis came to power and immeasurably enriched the American film industry and other artistic media.
What are *they* supposed to do?
They probably can't run to Canada. Most of us can't.
