@DaveedGR Which is only one part of threats to the state and therefore best way to deal w/them. @papicek @nadabakos
@DaveedGR We went from wolf-bunny to Hobbes/Rousseau (inexplicably, IMO), to VNSAs but NOT bigger threats. Why? @papicek @nadabakos

@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos 1) Your frame was authoritarian/non-authoritarian. On that scale banks & CC break differently than you thinkThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos The anti-authoritarian view may be less likely to punish banks or act against CC. -
@DaveedGR You're assuming here that banks aren't the "authority" pole, no? Better ask OWS about that.@papicek@nadabakos

@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos 2) Again, it's what I study, and is at the heart of a lot of current debate, so obviously relevant.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos 3) I've been clear about how I see national-security threats relative to each other: http://gunpowderandlead.wordpress.com/2012/01/11/five-trends-likely-to-shape-the-u-s-s-national-security-this-decade/ … -
@DaveedGR I think you're being defensive. I agree you're not exclusively focused on VNSAs. Most "wolves" are. Why?@papicek@nadabakos -
@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos Got it. You came across as accusatory. Let's drop that particular angle, then. -
@DaveedGR Let me restate. There is part of centrist, normative society that prioritizes VNSAs over much bigger threats.@papicek@nadabakos

@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos 4) To that extent, your accusations of "de-emphasizing" other threats are in poor taste. -
@DaveedGR Why? Because I am 1) not accusing you of being extreme and 2) agree you deal with those other threats?@papicek@nadabakos -
@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos This point is resolved. As I said, I think I read your tweets in a way you didn't intend. I regret that. -
@DaveedGR Tho I'll reiterate I'd rather talk abt whether Thucydides would work on Twitter...@papicek@nadabakos -
@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos I believe you were pro-Thucydides, right? I seriously love that guy. -
@DaveedGR Then we agree. I think he'd do better on Twitter than Socrates and/or Plato's character of same name.@papicek@nadabakos -
@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos So, since I need to get offline for a bit, we can end the "debate" with agreement: that Thucydides rocks.
