A small thread on the mind of #Putin. 🧵

To understand Putin you must understand Ivan Ilyin. This well-recognised fascist intellectual was around more or less a century ago. See the link below to get a better idea of his frightening totalitarian vision..

What I find even more compelling is the response to Ilyin and his 1925 work "On The Use of Violence to Resist Evil" (fun title!) and the outright concern about where this sort of path can lead *even then* - pre-Hitler, pre nuclear weapons, pre Cold War, pre terrorism etc etc
Another leading thinker N. A Berdyaev produced a polemic on Ilyin called, "The Nightmare of Evil Good."

Like every business, Washington’s #NFL team had to consider existing #trademarks when #rebranding. According to this story, the new name is being held up by a trademark dispute (meaning someone likely holds the trademark in their industry already). . . apple.news/AGRfYxT-LTSK8J…
The Washington #RedTails very well might the new name #Snyder and his #NFL are seeking, as someone in Virginia already holds a very similar #trademark
