    Superb interview. Tim Snyder has been giving warnings for years now. Great to see him now going completely mainstream
  • Nice to see Professor Snyder again, he's a great political thinker of our time
  • Remarkable, unsettling and thought-provoking interview. And profoundly insightful questions and analysis.
  • @DonalLeader
    We’ve dumbed down history. We’ve dumbed down the humanities. Thank you Tim Snyder for speaking an obvious truth.

    The Rural/Urban divide is still there even when Trump leaves.
  • I really rate this guy! Recommended reading from this amazing person: ‘On Tyranny: 20 lessons from the 20th Century “ and “The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America”.

    A Brilliant interview. The dichotomy of "Us and Them" is at the crux of human problems, is an important aspect of this interview to take away with one and deeply consider what it means. The Constitution of the US, begins with the word "WE", all of us. "We the people..." is the key. Also, the gentleman who did the interview, has a similar speech pattern to the late Bob Hoskins, which I find very easy on the ears, with his beautiful diction and word usage. Thank you Channel 4 News.
  • Trump has employed the same tactics as Hitler did in the 30s. America is at a crossroads and the direction it takes has never been more important.

    This interview should have WAY MORE views than it does. People have stopped using critical thinking (if they were ever taught in the first place) and have become consumers of social media misinformation and conspiracy theories. We are going backwards.

    Should be made required viewing in all secondary schools.

    A superb interviewer! Knowledgeable, thoughtful, respectful, intelligent. Rare on Youtube.

    Timothy Snyder is a scholar in the best sense of the word. That is, one who can support what he says with facts and informed analysis. One of the few people deserving of a long form interview.
  • Professor Synder always, and I mean always, makes so much sense with his clarity of thought, and his uncanny ability to present complex ideas so that all could understand and who was so capably assisted by this very professional interviewer. This is how an interview should be carried out, with respect and with intelligence. Thank you.

  • @Mumra2K
