I'm looking for a piece posted recently...here? on Twitter? Facebook? It was basically a list of 10 things dictators/autocrats do to consolidate power, written towards recognizing the POETUS doing those things. My google-fu has failed. Hope me, please?

It wasn't the post on Kottke, "Fighting authoritarianism: 20 lessons from the 20th century," was it?

CGP Grey did one of his videos on The Rules for Rulers on the consolidation of power. There's also a sequel about passing on power.
