Who are the G20’s bad guys now? https://www.politico.eu/article/g20-summit-india-new-dehli-bad-guys-recep-tayyip-erdogan-mohammed-bin-salman/ "While China’s Xi Jinping and Russia’s Vladimir Putin won’t be there, a B-list of strongmen with their own damning human rights records will be ready to embarrass the leaders of Western democracy with some stiff handshakes and fixed grins." #G20 #MBS #strongmen

Oh I see now we are at the dehumanization of the enemy stage. This is a crucial propaganda and emotional training tactic. Aim: to make people feel better about committing or tolerating political violence aimed at the "anti-human" enemy. Read #Strongmen to see how that works out.

How to prevent #LoserTrump from running for office.
Curb all false inputs that make him a leader. Con games, willingness to create fiction about self and do anything at all.

Ruth Ben-Ghiat
As I explain in #Strongmen, the first book on authoritarianism to consider masculinity as a "tool of rule" alongside propaganda, corruption, and violence, machismo is not just ornamentation or bluster but actively works to legitimize hate speech and violent acts.

Ruth Ben-Ghiat
Too many have internalized autocrats' own propaganda on these points. Leaders like Putin invest so heavily in disinformation/personality cults/killing critics/buying off elites because their strength is a myth & they live in fear they could lose everything. See #Strongmen.
Scott Rose
This whole Prigozhin/Belarus deal blows up the argument that Putin can't lose, Putin can't be humiliated, Putin can't be cornered. He has never lost faster or been more humiliated and cornered

You NEED to see this, even if you're not in Amerika

Related, #Strongmen seem really strong, but they eat tons of meat protein and calories. Most ppl who did that and worked out would become strong.

This is actually part of the right-wing playbook. See Chile 1970-1973 and my analysis in #Strongmen of Nixon-Kissinger "make the economy scream" strategy to provoke chaos and build support for authoritarianism. https://twitter.com/davidneiwert/status/1635330156100464640

@Tbsa @stevesilberman I guess one of the points of authoritarian-leaning politics is to prove they are, above the rules?

I mean, this is what ATTRACTS voters to people like Santos and Trump.

Authoritarians often insult the wives of subordinates as a way of asserting their masculine power. In dictatorships they also sexually assaulted those wives- this was a routine practice of Mobutu and Gaddafi. See #Strongmen, virility chapter, for details. https://twitter.com/ewong/status/1618392090131546112

The ways that authoritarian states pursue dissenters in exile is a theme of #Strongmen. Harassment, poisoning, trying to ruin them professionally, beatings, kidnapping, and murder are all part of this history. https://twitter.com/jamestareddy/status/1619364763846447104
