@DaveedGR I object to that. It's a political party, one including Ted Cruz who's actually authoritarian. @papicek @nadabakos
@DaveedGR Then you are assuming certain things about relative dangers. @papicek @nadabakos

@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos You're making assumptions about the "wolves" there. DoD, for one, sees climate change as a huge threat. -
@DaveedGR Yes. THank you. I know. But does nothing to fight it.@papicek@nadabakos

@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos Similarly, I'm sure you see me as a wolf. Last year I wrote this:http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/09/time-for-the-gop-to-get-serious-about-climate-change-the-new-national-security-issue/262428/ … -
@DaveedGR I mean, if banks and climate are far afield, why aren't VNSAs?@papicek@nadabakos -
@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos "Retreated"? They're part of the "authoritrian/non-authoritarian" dynamic in a way the others are not. -
@DaveedGR You said Wolves are Hobbes bc VNSAs, thereby assuming combatting that threat different than banks/CC.@papicek@nadabakos -
@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos No. It's because I think views break differently on this scale w/r/t banks and CC. -
@DaveedGR Doen't that prove my point? Country chooses to prioritize HNSAs even tho other threats more urgent.@papicek@nadabakos -
@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos I'm actually not sure what your point is. If it's that centrism can itself be extreme, I don't disagree.
