Author Series | Timothy Snyder | On Freedom

I always love to hear Mr Snyder talk, he is very calming to me even if he is talking about scary stuff.. Plus I love history, learning and listening to someone that isn’t arrogant.

I agree. I listen to him at night. His voice is calming, but his compassion, wisdom, insight are especially reassuring. He is brilliant, and a good man. A hero.

Brilliant, thoughtful book by one of the most profound thinkers of our time. I always feel more informed after listening to his talks. Thank you for posting this video.

Interesting that he talked about “freedom to or freedom for” and “freedom from.” I remember clearly that distinction being made when we discussed Soviet Communism in high school in the early ‘60s.

You were being propagandised to about what was deemed to be an existential enemy at the time. Ironically you had far more 'freedom to' back then before the Reagan/Thatcher revolution insisted 'freedom from' was the only freedom that mattered, allowing private forms of government, like corporations, to have more control over your life.
