- epistasis 2y agoBloodlands is more of a history of what happens after unrestrained autocrats implement blood hungry murderous societies. The linked article is an excerpt from the same author's book on his thoughts of what to do to prevent authoritarians taking control and destroying all opposition, and I have not read it except this excerpt. IMHO it's far easier to report on the history than to get counter factual reasoning correct enough to propose preventative measures. That said it's good to have a plan, but the plan must adapt to reality and our view of reality is never perfect.
