To be honest, when I listened, pre-Covid, to a talk by Guérot on the subject of the book (Europe as a republic), I considered it ridiculous. That said, I want academics to express all kinds of ridiculous ideas, without fear of getting fired for it.

Thanks, was hoping you'd cover this. My first thought was also Gleichschaltung. It is really chilling.

So glad I have chosen to substack anonymously. Even in provincial backwaters, outspokenness can be costly in times of war and pestilence. I have a lot of respect for you also publishing and podcasting under your real name. We need more academics like yourself with the coursge to speak up.

Like her book title from last year, which I have struggled to best convey in English:

"Whoever remains silent, approves/consents"
