@DaveedGR Like bunnies and wolves better. I think both Hobbes and Rousseau don't apply very well now. @papicek @nadabakos
@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.

@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos A heavily pro-law enforcement view may favor far *greater* punishment of banks, not less. -
@DaveedGR It might. but it doesn't in the wolf bunny dynamic. Which is why law-enforcement isn't the pole@papicek@nadabakos

@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos And similarly, anti-authoritarians may be *more* opposed to CC controls because it expands the state. -
@DaveedGR In one model of responding, yes, it might.@papicek@nadabakos

@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos Here *you* are doing what you criticized: looking at these issues as right-left rather than your alt metric. -
@DaveedGR Huh? You're the one who chose one threat as the Hobbes/Wolf pole. Why?@papicek@nadabakos -
@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos Again: b/c both you and I spend a lot of time studying it, so it seems like an obvious point of discussion. -
@DaveedGR OK. I think there is a VAST crowd (not including you) who choose to focus on VNSAs to exclusion of CC/banks.@papicek@nadabakos

@emptywheel has a point.Certainly we agree CC is a huge existential threat, but I'd argue that finance is as well.@DaveedGR@nadabakosThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
