@DaveedGR No. I meant you seemed to be suggesting our map is exclusively right-left. It's not. @papicek @nadabakos
@DaveedGR Call it "bunnies" & "wolves." "Wolves" is normative position which therefore doesn't get treated as extreme @papicek @nadabakos

@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos I actually like that framing better. I think I would go with "Hobbes" and "Rousseau," maybe? -
@DaveedGR Like bunnies and wolves better. I think both Hobbes and Rousseau don't apply very well now.@papicek@nadabakos -
@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos I think Hobbes is *highly* relevant to struggles between VNSAs and the state. -
@DaveedGR Which is only one part of threats to the state and therefore best way to deal w/them.@papicek@nadabakos -
@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos Not sure what you mean by "and therefore best way to deal w/them." -
@DaveedGR There are threats to 1) the state and 2) people of it. Terrorists are way down on list of both.@papicek@nadabakos -
@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos Depends on which state. VNSAs are high on the list for Somalia, Iraq, Tunisia, Syria, Libya, Egypt... -
@DaveedGR Most of them states for which climate change is at least as big a threat. But the US?@papicek@nadabakos - 2 more replies
