Sarah Kendzior: I do think that we have been mirroring the past of Hungary, I also think the UK, a country that people don't often associate with authoritarianism, they've been going down a very similar road to us ever since Brexit. A lot of these countries moves in tandem starting around 2015/16.

...exact same ideology, it's so shameful that some people are falling for it. It's nonsense, then there's a special twist of course, because Antifa is antifascist and for all of my life and all of America's history since the Summer of 1940 was thought of as a good thing.

...by the gov. killing over 700 protesters that were out there. That happened in May of 2005 and I remember thinking how horrific this was and of course I got banned from Uzbekistan because I wrote about it. That paper now is relevant to what is happening in my own country with Antifa, it's the...

...reality does not exist and I've seen these exact same tactics used in Hungary, in Russia 20 years ago, I wrote a paper about this in Uzbekistan about a group that the gov. invented called Achromia it did not exist and they accused Achromia of committing a crime sever enough that it justified...

..it is in a privatized public sphere so you have these Oligarchs like Musk or Zuckerberg or others controlling spaces where we have our speech, monitoring our speech and perhaps belatedly using our speech to accuse us of either committing a crime or backing a so called criminal org. that in...

...from other proto authoritarian regimes because we do have this very long tradition of free speech and free media, even more free in many ways than the UK that has these strict libel laws that prohibit free speech that is beginning to go away, in part because speech is now in a digital domain...

The same with education institutions, you see some of them fold and you see professors get fired so people watch this and that is suppose to be examples for the rest of the country, to learn from. What people are starting to learn is to self censor and I've always thought that the US was safe ...

SK~What happens is you end up with a climate of fear that we already see, we already have self censorship, because we've seen the repercussions for journalists fir example, who do investigate this adm. and they lose their job as one publication after another folds and gives in to this adm. demands.

...but what they want I think is unprecedented because of this digital surveillance component and their ability to use things like AI to create propaganda or for military endeavors. Sarah Kendzior:TMTS

...it is all very much against what it is to be in America, they're trying to create something, not to say unrecognizable, because this country has very dark roots and often their methods are to exploit the flaws of our country that are already there in terms of racism in terms of xenophobia...

...they want resources, they want control, they want new mechanisms of government, often connected to digital surveillance through companies like Palentier that want to surveil the populace and again to deprive us of our rights. I think they want a more depopulated US, they want a whiter US...

Sarah Kendzior: they are trying to create these cohesive identities that will then war with each other. They want most of all for us to fight with each other so that they don't have to spend the money battling us, it's a lot cheaper if we do it ourselves, what do they want us to do this for...

Sarah Kendzior: this is not the former Soviet Union where it was composed of republics that spoke different languages that had different cultures and were forced against their will to fuse into this union and then when it lapsed they split up along those lines. We do not have anything that natural.

Sarah Kendzior: he's trying to create a climate of fear, he's also trying to stoke Civil War. They've been doing this for 25 years ever since the 2000 election where we had the contrived catagories of red vs blue in terms of state boundaries, we don't have a state designation.

Sarah Kendzior: he wants to drain these cities, he wants people to pack up, to leave the country, he wants their money to leave the country. He wants people afraid to donate, because they'll be labeled Antifa and then designated as terrorists,have their bank accounts frozen,not be able to get a job.
