I think if we prolong these wars more humanely we may risk our own civilians to terrorist attacks. @bawaricus @danmagaziner

#yalehist104 As Professor Moyn has done all semester, he dissects McDonnell's argument in a "War without Civilian Deaths". Drone strikes save American lives. However, they allow for more potential civilian casualties.

[Phil Kemp @pkemp25]

Is that the price America has to pay to keep American troops off the ground? As technology increase that number should decrease. But it is the nature of the wars we are fighting. It is difficult to find America's enemies. Drone's allow us the mobility to fight guerrilla armies.

#yalehist104 @bawaricus Powell believes anti-immigration and re-emigration policies will improve the condition of Great Britain. He attributes the suppression of the majority population to ill-advised civil action that over empowers immigrants and undermines there cause.

#yalehist104 What other economic sanctions have acted as weapons of mass destruction in the world circa 2000? Mamdani piece illustrates how the Cold War catalyzed much of the actions the U.S. gov't took toward Iran and Iraqi issues. How did the role of media effect those actions?

[Phil Kemp @pkemp25]

They exemplify as Houellebec does the repulsive savagery in society.

[Phil Kemp @pkemp25]

Houellebecq oozes toxic masculinity in elementary particles. I disagree in that he believes he is a product of what he is describing, he is a participant. Why should we give any attention to incel's? #yalehist104 @bawaricus

[Phil Kemp @pkemp25]

It is a little out of the box but it would be an interesting discussion.

[Phil Kemp @pkemp25]

#yalehist104 @bawaricus In discussion with the environmentalism movement in lecture. I find it interesting to think about the problem of global warming surrounding us today. We as humans hopefully will take large strides in the near future. I don't believe Russia will.

[Phil Kemp @pkemp25]

For Russia the warming of the Earth actually benefits them. It opens up more farm land to their North, as well as the opening of Northern ports along the Arctic Ocean. How could we find a solution then if Russia continues to pump toxins into our atmosphere.

#yalehist104 What is the frame work of these pieces we are reading? In the Schlesinger, Moynihan, and the Mcalister articles what are the layers that the authors pierce through? @bawaricus

[Phil Kemp @pkemp25]

@bawaricus I apologize forgot an a in there.

[Phil Kemp @pkemp25]

In these readings I find the perspective of which they are written in interesting. As well as the ethical appeal of the pictures. What piece of propaganda catalyzes a greater demand for justice? Will some decolonization subjects always be victims? @bawricus #yalehist104

[Phil Kemp @pkemp25]

#yalehist104 As Ben Gates once said "the status quo has changed." Getachew argues that a post imperial egalitarian world is only route to true democratic self governance. What other progressive options are possible? Has the status quo actually changed for Global North? @bawaricus

[Phil Kemp @pkemp25]

Suri argues that "students leave college basically unchallenged in their values and political orientations". Today conflict and controversies are in daily discussions on college campuses, undeniably challenging personal beliefs towards such conflicts. What changed? #yalehist104

[Phil Kemp @pkemp25]

#yalehist104 It was interesting to read about the ideals of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. How did the division between the Party and State effect socialistic concepts and the ability for the Party to promote its philosophies? @bawaricus @danmagaziner @samuelmoyn

[Phil Kemp @pkemp25]

#yalehist104 How did development politics effect the Great Divergence? Was self interest more of a focus rather than global development? Also, how does the Cold War serve as an ignition within decolonization to promote national identity? @danmagaziner @samuelmoyn @bawaricus

[Phil Kemp @pkemp25]

#yalehist104 @danmagaziner @samuelmoyn @crhernandez6 In what ways does Fanon illustrate the transformation of Algerian society during the revolution? How does "unveiling" catalyze a new Algerian society?
