The Rivalry Peril has a cover! Everything Washington has told you about great-power competition is wrong. Come January 2025, @mbrenes1 and I are gonna reveal why! #TheRivalryPeril

So the US is just committing war crimes directly now.

Astounding that the problem of Hindu fascism and extraterritorial assassinations has totally dropped out of any hand-wringing about India.

“When we get sick, they get rich. When we get evicted, they get rich. When a bomb falls, they get rich. Real security is not won by spending trillions on bombs and bullets to kill people around the world.” @WeWill2026 for Congress

“Places of inclusion, opportunity, and enough bourgeois comforts to let a man dream can be made anywhere. And they can be made more durable if they’re built on the bedrock of a post-imperialist mode of living.”

My love letter to Monterey, California: “Some of our treasured utopias will be washed away with imperial decline. But we can remember what made them magical as we imagine a new, post-imperialist world.”

World politics just looks like one black swan event after another when you analyze the world as if the hegemon’s actions have nothing to do with the trends of geopolitics.

Liberal hand-wringing about the coalescing of America's rivals and non-allies is unbelievably frustrating. WTH did you think America's overuse of violence, sanctions, and arbitrary rule re-writing for the past 25 years would get you?

Nobody is safe and nobody is free. If you have to avoid speaking out on behalf of the victims of US state power in order to avoid being exposed to state violence yourself, then you’re not free

"a FP that is both expansionist and revisionist; that not only seeks the ability to dominate all others, but also covets others’ lands. that brokers spheres of influence. and that aims to dictate the terms on which others engage in global trade."

Imperialist foreign policy.

I said in 2021 that “bro culture” was an incubator of fascism. As someone who has always been part of the fight world, it seemed obvious. And here we are.

There was a period where I reached this conclusion, got policed out of my old professional and social circles for it, and felt totally alienated from everything I had worked on in my early career. Now, this is the dominant view of the Democratic Party! Alienation to solidarity 💪.
