Imagine scoring a seat here and bringing your laptop so that you can check emails or watch videos of cats. I appreciate that the speaker called out the audience member.

He taught us a course of Eastern Europe since 1914 in one week. It was a knowledge boom!!

Great Speaker

BE SURE TO MIC AUDIENCE QUESTIONS

This is fascinating!

Talk starts 7:30

Wow, great lecture.

in times of inhumanity, we have no words we have only each other

I wish everybody would learn about the subject it's so important for us to know the history of the Holocaust I tried to share what I know which after hours of watching documentaries I realize I know very little I went to Decca when I lived in Germany and I was shocked and amazed but it tweaked my curiosity to where I made it my aim to learn as much as I could but Mr Snyder has opened up so many more doors of knowledge for me thank you to Mr Schneider for sharing his knowledge with the world Darlene g duck

In this and other snyder lectures his insight on the dual meaning of what used to be dismissed disdainfully as elbow space redefined as a more complex fear/want of habitat and relative comfort to others is profoundly important nut to grasp towards greater understanding

I've been listening to his courses, thanks for his knowledge.

Starts at 7:17.

41:16- I was listening to this and had twitter on and saw something funny there... what timing

This is so excellent.

1:16:00 question cricism is on point yet if one can understand that snyder has painted a start that needs to be pursued further i think that is an enormous contribution of the book... framing a context to understand why hitler resonated on a level or thinking more rational than the other or fear ... the premise that it might actually be cultural approaches to reason and behavior that set up an order of human cooperation not well suited for some must be pursued but so close the the flame of blaming the victim that critical sort of discourse to tease out truth by trial and error of peer review is all but banned

We must not let any thing like this happen again. May Allah bless the victims soles in paradise.

Thank you.

41:14 - quite awkward!

There will be changes in how to remember history. It always was happening in history.

Wonderful knowledge shared with passion

47:11 bruh

Prof. Snyder is always fascinating to listen to, but here I'm afraid that here he's smoothly leading us down the garden path. In fact, after reflecting about this for a while, I began to feel as if I'd been temporarily mesmerized by his eloquence. The young Hitler was a poorly educated and deeply frustrated man who cobbled together what he considered to be a scientific justification for his ultra-nationalist, ultra-militarist, revanchist views. The philosophical worldview that Snyder summarizes here is not just unpolitical (as Snyder acknowledges), but in many respects also glaringly absurd and unattractive even to other far-right German nationalists, who surely regarded Germany's mission in loftier terms than a biological struggle to get as fat as the Americans. Hitler's kooky personal philosophy obviously had something to do with the Holocaust, but it's crazy to offer it as a sufficient explanation of such a world-historical event. A ton of context has gone missing from Snyder's analysis.

Thinking about nukes means you are destroying yourself and nothing.

Apparently, in his philosophy, A.H. forgot that India, China, and Japan, among others (accounting for >60% of the world's population) independently developed complex flourishing societies with rules and politics and religions all of their own devising and independent of Mediterranean and European influence. Kind of pokes a little hole in the world domination theory of a small group of people who put their laws down in a scroll in the Levant region of Syria after the Romans destroyed their temple two thousand years ago. But... whatever.

Hi framing of Hitler remarks on the ottoman cleansing of Armenians around ww1 years being more about his plans to detroy the national identity of the non Jewish poles rang true although as he rues he would yearn to have more insight to Hitler's mindset related to that quote noted by only one of the generals at the meeting with Hitler when he said it

This lecture helps answer the question, why a master race had so much to fear of the Jews that its leaders insisted on their genocide.

Crazy this 2013 line of thinking got little political traction then but especially crazy only gradually coming to the fore a few years after soul searching of the 2016 brexit and trump and subsequent

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND ITS CITIZENS VS. nwo

Hello : interesting lecture , I recently finished reading ( Against our better judgement ) by (Alison Weir) Downloaded in to from Amazon to my Kindle If what she says is true . My country America lost 200,000 men in ww1, a war that Wilson had promised to keep us out of . Well read the book and we can discuss this. I want a civil discussion and let's keep it to the facts.

Americans weren't obese a century ago.
