You may not be familiar with SnyderHe’s a chronicler and writer about Eastern Europe. In fact, he has written extensively on the turmoil — the murder areas– of Eastern Europe in 20th-century. He is able to understand what he says.

I will share with you some of his ideas, taken from his closing remarks. He remembers that “the politics and certainty” is what he refers to when he tries to solve the problem.

The faraway-The effects of fascism and Nazism as well as communism seemed to be fading away into insignificance. We were able to accept the politics and certainty that suggested history might be moving in one direction: toward liberal democracy. After communism ended in eastern Europe in 1989–91, we adopted the myth of “the end of background”. This allowed us to lower our defenses and constrained our imaginations. It also broke the ice for specific routines we believed we could never return.

He then discusses the opposite perspective, which he refers to as “the politics of infinite.” This mindset is discussed by he.
The temptation of a mythicized past in national politics of eternity prevents us thinking about futures. The tendency to dwell on victimhood reduces the desire for self-correction. The country is defined by its core virtue rather than its future potential. This means that national politics becomes a discussion about excellent and also bad instead of discussing practical solutions to real problems. The situation is permanent, so the feeling of an emergency is constant. Planning for the future is difficult and disloyal. How can we think about reform when our adversary is always at our doorstep?

These two placements, inevitability as well as eternity, are both antihistorical. History is all that stands between them. History allows us see patterns and makes judgments. It shows us the structures that allow for flexibility. It uncovers moments, each of them unique and none completely one.-This is-A-kind. Understanding one moment is to be able to cocreate another.

The following is a detail that keeps me thinking: SnyderThe debate about the evisceration and humiliation of privacy is an older fascist strategy.
