Summary
In this special bonus show, Gaslit Nation reminds you that Hitler and Trump rose to power in very similar ways, and why we must stay grounded in that historical truth. The fate of the world literally depends on it. The Holocaust and World War II happened, because people didn't want to believe it would be so bad. Normalcy bias is a dangerous coping mechanism.
As the world marks the 81st anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, with Putin, like Hitler, hiding in his bunker, reports of his hands shaking, of parades canceled or scaled back across Russia–it's a reminder that we can stand up to fascism, when we align our will with a higher purpose, like Ukraine and its allies.
To celebrate the power of remembering, and Andrea's birthday (caaaaake!), we're opening this Monday's Gaslit Nation Salon at 4pm E.T. with a reading of the first 10 pages of her screenplay, about the power of forbidden love in a time of fascism. To join us, look out for the Zoom link posted Monday morning on Patreon. This week's bonus show, available in full for our subscribers at the Truth-teller ($5/month) level and higher, we continue on with Gal Beckerman about his new book How to Be a Dissident. Listen to Part I here.

| 0:00.0 | I think that Putin is afraid about this parade. |
| 0:03.0 | He's waging every 9th of May. |
| 0:05.0 | And first time after 20 years, he's not planning to have a full-scale parade. |
| 0:11.0 | And he is afraid of Ukraine drone attacks, I think. |
| 0:15.0 | And that's the reason why he is proposing this ceasefire or whatever we call it. |
| 0:20.0 | Maybe they can hold it, but there is no |
| 0:23.3 | strategic point to do it. So it seems that he's afraid of Ukraine. And also this is a pretty |
| 0:31.0 | clear message that he's weaker than most of the world is thinking he is. Welcome to this week's bonus show. I am your host, Andrea Chalupa, and our opening |
| 0:41.1 | clip was Estonian Foreign Minister Marges Chakna on CNN talking about Putin's May 9th |
| 0:48.5 | Victory Day parade, which is going to be as broken and impotent as Putin himself. |
| 0:57.3 | Putin is a dead man walking. |
| 0:59.6 | There have been videos of his hands shaking. |
| 1:02.6 | Guess who else that happened to at the end of his disastrous war of aggression? |
| 1:10.0 | Hitler's hands were shaking as the allies were closing in. |
| 1:15.0 | And the same is happening to Putin. The fact that for the first time in his rule, there's not |
| 1:21.8 | going to be this massive propaganda pageant that needs to cut through the noise of the news cycle and everyone |
| 1:30.3 | needs to sit with it. The greatest weapon that Vladimir Putin has right now in his failing |
| 1:37.6 | suicidal invasion of Ukraine, Ukraine being one of the core countries that helped the Soviets defeat Hitler, by the way. |
| 1:46.6 | Belarus and Ukraine were the main countries of the largest number of atrocities, casualties |
| 1:53.0 | of Hitler's invasion. |
| 1:54.6 | They suffer, they endured the most, and they helped lead the Soviet resistance to German |
| 2:00.7 | fascism. Okay. So now we're seeing that for ourselves. |
