In seeing all the actions people are taking to help themselves and others, I wondered what action I could take.
So I’m offering a reading group on Timothy Snyder’s On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century.
The book is short, and it can be accessed for free through the Internet Archive.
Due to its structure, I am proposing once-a-week meetings for 6 weeks for approximately 1.5 hours.
Week 1: Introductions, setting the agreement about how we will conduct ourselves in the group, and discussion of Lessons 1 and 2.
Week 2: Lessons 3, 4, 5, 6
Week 3: Lessons 7, 8, 9, 10
Week 4: Lessons 11, 12, 13, 14
Week 5: Lessons 15, 16, 17, 18
Week 6: Lessons 19, 20 and conclusions/takeaways
I am in the Eastern Europe time zone, and I suggest meeting Fridays at 7pm EET/6pm CET/5pm UK/12pm EST or Saturdays at 5pm EET/4pm CET/3pm UK/10am EST. I will create a poll for those who sign up to determine the day. Start date the second week of February (Feb 7 or 8).
All who want to join in good faith to contribute to a respectful and connective environment are welcome.
I’m using Signal as a platform to manage further communication. Please DM me your Signal username and the reason you would like to join by February 3.
I’m sorry, but I will only be able to add people whose Mastodon profile has been filled out and who have a post history.
I’ll be reposting this message until interested people reach out (or I determine nobody is interested), so if that clutters your feed and you’re not interested, you may want to mute me for a bit.
