    It's hard to know what this is talking about without names but I'm pretty sure most of "left Twitter" thinks and argues that the authoritarianism of the right is intimately linked to the (bipartisan) American empire.https://twitter.com/CoreyRobin/status/1486440624480006147 …

    It amazes me how left Twitter gets more exercised by rightist intellectuals voicing support for Orbán than it is by the American government's routine transfer of arms to repressive regimes across the world. One more example of the left's indifference to the materiality of power. https://twitter.com/alexbkane/status/1486434223644889095 …

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        I think it's more likely that the US right will copy the authoritarian model of an Orban than it would the paramilitary death-squad model of the US-backed Colombia of an Uribe gov't (or his successor Duque). So if the focus is on what will be done here, that makes sense.

        In that vein, Tucker Carlson promoting a documentary called "Hungary vs. Soros: The Fight for Civilization" definitely doesn't strike me as a good sign.

        I am told that Robin is insightful within his academic work. He is reliably wrong when he opines on American politics.

        This argument doesn't fly b/c we see the same dynamic in the domestic sphere. There was far more concern about Trump's tweets than there was with Congress's (including 55 Dems) giving him renewed surveillance powers. https://theintercept.com/2018/01/11/nsa-pelosi-democrats-spy-american-section-702/ … https://twitter.com/NGrossman81/status/1486454562366144515 …

        Member of the 'left Twitter' here. Authoritarianism could be a manageable problem worldwide if the USA didn't meddle in other countries. Throughout the last century, most American interference was rarely supporting true democracy, but always against nation-building and progress.

        An easy time saving device is to automatically assume that if there are no names named then whomever is talking is talking about nothing.
