      In a few short days, we've moved from pundits mournfully intoning platitudes about the terrible return of war to Europe (completely ignoring the 90s, of course) to shrieking for a great power war and explaining nukes aren't that big a deal anyway. This is political psychosis.

      The invasion of Ukraine is what defies the established rules and processes of international relations, and threatens the diversity of geopolitical regimes. Respectfully, I think you’ve cornered yourself into an absurd position out of intellectual hipsterdom.

      Are they any subjects that do not require grappling? A moral people will instantly condemn immoral acts, and from the outside, that looks the same as a people who act like zombies, and just jump on the bandwagon.

          often things start so small that we don't need due process we did not need due process against Yahoo in 1997 ... but perhaps we DO against Google deplatforming in 2022. Likewise, it's not clear that we needed due process for bank deplatforming in 1955 ... but no we do maybe?
