New Episode of After America: https://lnkd.in/gxuTmv6c If American democracy were to collapse, what historical parallels could help us understand what we might be in for? Nazi Germany? Learn how the Nazis swiftly exploited the Reichstag Fire in 1933 to enact the Reichstag Fire Decree, leading to a brutal suppression of political opponents and securing their dominance in the March 5th elections. We explore economic and social turmoil in Weimar Germany that laid the groundwork for Hitler's ascent, drawing poignant comparisons to the fragility of today’s democratic system in the United States, and reveal the strategic maneuvers the Nazis employed to position themselves as the true representatives of Germany, transcending traditional political labels and focusing on national unity and modernization. We discuss the cultural anxieties exacerbated by rapid modernization and urbanization, and how Hitler's propaganda machine capitalized on these fears to foster a return to traditional values, further deepening societal and political divides. And, we explore the unique political skills and empathetic understanding Hitler used to galvanize support, setting a dangerous precedent for charismatic leadership in times of crisis. But, when we consider the similarities between conditions in Weimar Germany immediately prior to the collapse of democracy to the conditions in the United States, does past mean prelude? Maybe the gradual democratic collapse of the Roman Republic is a better corollary. So, we look into how systems designed to prevent tyranny can inadvertently lead to gridlock and public disenchantment. By examining historical events like Augustus' rise to power and modern phenomena such as gerrymandering and judicial appointments, we emphasize the subtle dangers of gradual democratic backsliding. This episode helps us understand what might lie ahead for American democracy and underscores the urgent need to recognize and address threats to democratic institutions today to prevent repeating the errors of history.

Thuringia is open to the world 🌎 Out of a shared concern for the state of democracy in our country, organisations and individuals from all over Thuringia are getting involved with »Weltoffenes Thüringen« / "Thuringia is open to the world": >> We stand for a Thuringia that is open to the world. >> We stand up for human dignity and indivisible human rights – not least in light of Germany’s historical responsibility, especially with respect to the crimes committed under National Socialism. >> We are committed to pluralistic democracy and the rule of law, in part as a lesson learned from experiencing two different forms of dictatorship in Germany. >> We want a country that accepts and welcomes diversity. >> We want to interact peacefully and respectfully with one another. Prejudice, exclusion and hatred have no place in an open-minded and diverse Thuringia. >> We support the idea of a unified Europe. It represents peace, solidarity and prosperity, and has been especially beneficial to Thuringia. JOIN US: https://lnkd.in/eZ4AjqP4

Croatia celebrates and marks Statehood Day today May 30th, 2024. This public holiday commemorates the establishment of the first democratically elected parliament in 1990, a pivotal moment on the path to Croatian independence. Nikola Solomon mentioned Statehood Day is a chance to reflect on national progress. "It's a day to remember our history and celebrate how far Croatia has come," he says. Many Croatians, like Nikola, extend the festivities into the weekend, turning it into a family getaway. "People usually connect it with the weekend and use it for a short family vacation," Nikola mentions. History buffs might be surprised to learn about Croatia's role in parachuting innovation. "Although the first drawing of a parachute was made by Leonardo da Vinci, it was just an imaginative idea without a strong strategy that could turn it into reality. It wasn't until Faust Vrančić (Croatian lawyer, philosopher, historian, lexicographer, inventor, hagiographer and theologian) jumped from a tower in Venice, that the parachute was put to the test!" explains Mihael Juren. Vrančić is credited as one of the first to create a blueprint for a functional parachute. We wish Nikola, Mihael and all those celebrating a wonderful day!

Did you know that Poles celebrate their Independence Day today? In 1918, after years of partitions and disappearance from the world map, Poland regained its independence. Already in 1939, Poland was attacked again by Nazi Germany, and after World War II, becoming a de facto state under Soviet influence, known as the People's Republic of Poland, it only became a free country in 1989. Over the years of freedom, Poland has become a modern country for one reason: we, the Poles, do not kneel before anyone, we ask for nothing, and we respect human life, knowing that our future is in our hands. We know that we have to work hard. Poland doesn't have to strive to be a European country; Poland is a European country because it is located in Europe. Poland has always been a wonderful, friendly country that can engage in conversations with other nations. We love our country, appreciate the culture of other nations, and always welcome our guests with open arms. It's in our genetics. We can also fight for what is ours if someone tries to attack us, even with weapons in hand. Today, Poland doesn't want to fight with anyone. We want to build the future of the world, cooperate with the best. This comes from the fact that in our country, there is one of the highest percentages of people with higher education in the world. We are ambitious. We have a vision. And in case of problems, you can count on us. Do you want to build great things? Great companies? Do you want to finish your studies and be taught by Polish, some of the best scientists in the world? Come to Poland. We don't give up at the first turn. And we appreciate the potential of each individual. All people from around the world should hear that we Poles love our country, but we also love all of you - all people in the world. Poland - a friendly, developed country with the potential for further development, with investment, business, and scientific potential. Commencing the 11.11 day in Poland with a touch of history and celebration! 🇵🇱✨ #IndependenceDay #Poland1111

Today holds a special significance as we commemorate the first democratic constitution (Junigrundloven) adopted in 1849. This groundbreaking document replaced the absolute monarchy (Kongeloven, also known as Lex Regia) of 1665 and stands as one of the world's oldest constitutions. Reflecting on its 175-year legacy, I am filled with pride and gratitude for the democracy and freedoms we enjoy today. This day is also deeply personal, as we celebrate Father's Day in Denmark. Of all the titles I have been honored with, being a father is the most important and cherished. The joy and responsibility of nurturing my children and guiding them through life’s journey is a privilege beyond measure. Just the other day, I had the privilege of sailing in Øresund, enjoying the good winds and the serene beauty of the ocean. As I sailed, I was reminded of the importance of preserving our natural world. The ocean’s vastness and vitality underscore our duty to protect our planet and promote sustainable practices. It is a reminder that the freedoms we celebrate are intertwined with our responsibility to future generations. Leadership and fatherhood share core principles: guiding, nurturing, and protecting. As leaders, fathers, and citizens, we are called to defend our rights and the rights of others, ensuring a future where freedom, democracy, and sustainability thrive. It’s not just about preserving history but actively shaping a better tomorrow. Let us honor our rich history, celebrate our pivotal roles, and commit to leading with integrity, compassion, and courage. Together, we can uphold the values of our forefathers and forge a path towards a more just and sustainable world. Today we should all celebrate a historic milestone, fatherhood, and rember our shared responsibilities. #Junigrundloven #FathersDay #Leadership #Democracy #Freedom #Sailing #Denmark #Sustainability
