This is actually my litmus test for whether people are foreign policy hacks or not, in general.

Do you talk about Armenia the same way you talk about Ukraine? No? You're a hack.

[Jason W. Moore @oikeios]

Yes! The cultural Cold War actively supported "critical" intellectuals who would elaborate the politics of what was called -- in Washington D.C. circles -- the NCL: the non-communist left, aka, the controlled opposition. Arendt was one of these, and so are her epigones today.

@morematerial And yet despite that, we still understand how it works better than they do.

@EcoTechBro I've always found "-ian" to be far more regal and pretentious than "-ist"

[The Robin Commons ☀️ @TheRobinCommon1]

@EcoTechBro A surprisingly low bar to clear.

[The Robin Commons ☀️ @TheRobinCommon1]

@EcoTechBro Agreed.

On a personal level, I'm happy for anyone who finds meaning and community. But on a political level, I'm not willing to pull punches about the 20th Cent. history of liberation Islam in North America. I find it lacking.

Wild how every one of these tweets is just an open acknowledgment of a capital strike and committing to repeatedly breaking tenant law. “Nice rent freeze you got, now we will petulantly punish you by not maintaining your building” ok cool you should be stripped of all your wealth

@EcoTechBro It's a problem which religions suffer from exponentially more than other traditions, by design:

The gulf between propaganda and theory. Every community has its dumbest and smartest person; How different are their models of the world?

For religions, it's fucking massive.

@rowanfornow It's not crazy to acknowledge humanity's insanity.

The only crazy bit would be to suggest a political theory of change that would expect us to abandon our evil national loyalties tomorrow.

They didn’t want a billionaire they wanted someone still in college who tweeted “kill all cops” every day in 2020

The first time I've ever done LSD was tonight. Right now. Which has been quite interesting timing, given everyone's celebrations on left twitter.

Hasan Piker calls out Ritchie Torres after nine of his endorsed candidates win in New York primaries

"Ritchie Torres I know you won tonight. I'll see you in two years, motherfucker. I'm coming for you, Richie.

Sit on that fuckin seat for the next two years. I hope you remember that.

Every day, every time there's a decision that you can make where you are pro-Israel, I hope you remember.

You better act right, Ritchie."
