By "challenging" I meant "something that will challenge what a lot of Americans think." I'm not so much not a fan of sovereignty, but I do recognize that America really isn't.
Masha Gessen, as always, is a must-read, but this passage is particularly challenging. https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2017/11/a-mafia-state-within-a-totalitarian-society/546848/ …pic.twitter.com/Vl5WX8DUt5

Really isn't what? Can you flesh out your thoughts a little more?

A fan of sovereignty

I'll go for this quote. Perhaps less challenging in your eyes, but largely absent from the discourse at any level--so too challenging for the gatekeepers.pic.twitter.com/ZnYsrEU1Yt

Admittedly the whole thing is pretty damn good. But she gets away with saying that bc she's Russian.
-
Just another example of how the Russians are controlling our political debate!!!

Speaking of that Russian, another challenging, interesting discourse:https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/sex-consent-dangers-of-misplaced-scale?mbid=nl_Daily%20112817%20Nonsubs&CNDID=33625227&spMailingID=12455347&spUserID=MTczNjg2OTUyODc5S0&spJobID=1282584008&spReportId=MTI4MjU4NDAwOAS2 …

There’s a difference btw handing out leaflets and stealing people’s emails
-
And both RU and the US have done both.
-
We should oppose it whenever it happens, regardless of who does it. But, of course, we should support the right to hand out leaflets. Hence, Gessen's comparison is ridiculous.

National sovereignty is vanishing, so I don't much disagree. If sovereignty is to be found it's with metanational capital which steers governments and is not bound by borders.
-
What is replacing it? Corporate sovereignty backed by armies and states?
-
It's one of the reasons the Balkanization post Snowden post RU hack is interesting. It may reverse the direction.
-
Reverse the direction meaning the return of vanishing state sovereignty? How so?

Masha Gessen is beyond the average IQ. Obviously the person asking the question wasn’t! End of story!
-
I mean it’s Jeffrey Goldberg and the idea of him caring about national sovereignty is a complete joke.

her situation is a lot different from a covert influence operation by a country whose interests are not aligned with ours. those Dutch canvassers were not doing anything in secret.
