      If I feel that my answer is being used to trap me into a place in a conversation where it will be read to entail something I don’t endorse, I also dig in my heels.

      Noah - come off it. If someone told you that you that you were “just a 12-year-old who likes impressing their parents with big words” and then started into harrumphing questions you wouldn’t respond either. You - on the basis of your own long declared policy - would block them.pic.twitter.com/hnt0rEVkqW

      People don't "owe you" answers or demonstrate their true evil beliefs by refusing to answer you, any more than you owe answers to the obnoxious commentators who you yourself regularly and reasonably blow off, or validate their suspicions by refusing to engage with them.

      I appreciate why you feel the way you do. The answer EB gave was not a good one. But it is perfectly reasonable for Nikhil to push back against the framing of the question for reasons already discussed and your response is not calculated to make anyone want to engage on substance

      Henry, why aren't you saying: (1) EB was provoked, and said something really stupid. (2) Nikhil's "identify the bigger problem: the “tankie” idea... [or] the idea that there is no alternative to US eternal military superintendence of the capitalist world-system?" is a... 1/

      More generally, there are excellent reasons why I am not associated with the Quincy Institute (not that I was ever asked). I strongly disagree with them on multiple questions, including many of those discussed here. But I think US foreign policy discussion is better for them.

      Well, yes: a FP discussion with a blob and an anti-blob is better than one with a blob alone. I see this even at Berkeley, where of the four wings of IR we ought to have¸—bombs and bullets, world peace through world law, make economies so interdependent that Norman Angell.... 1/

      The real material manifestation of this is the amount the USA spends on military versus amount it spends on diplomacy.
