The Turner Diaries is always a telltale sign… Read @kathleenbelew.bsky.social on white power and the military. The avoidance is purposeful

Authoritarian rulers love military parades as a way of projecting strength and dominance - not only to an international audience, but also to remind their own people that they personally command the nation’s arsenal and the coercive powers of the state.
None of this is subtle. It’s dictator shit.

This is also yet another example of Trumpian authoritarianism being facilitated by certain pathologies of American political culture. The pervasive public veneration of the president as the Commander-in-Chief helps establish the idea of a Great Leader to whom the troops owe personal loyalty.

We must resist the temptation to perpetuate Trump’s constant attempts to assert dominance by reflexively despairing over our supposedly hopeless situation. MAGA desires to project power and strength – something we should subvert rather than perpetuate. Let’s not indulge the false bravado.

I don't think anyone can plausibly accuse me of having an overly rosy outlook on the current situation (I’m closer to the opposite). But we must not give in to either cynicism or defeatism and instead resist the temptation to perpetuate rightwing assertions of democracy’s supposedly inevitable fall.

Professor Zimmer came to speak with my students recently and I was thrilled for them to be able to engage with and learn from him - he will be much missed! But I can’t wait for his next chapter… Viel Glück Thomas!

Academia will be the poorer without your knowledge and incisive voice - best of luck in the future! I’ll be listening and reading 🙌🏻
