There are, of course, theories that can totally explain it and, in fact, even predicted exactly such a development based on the massive qualitative data. E.g., Clement's studies of social-critical patriotism, our studies with Zhuravlev of military Keynesianism and hegemony crisis

I was honored to discuss Towards the Abyss with renowned @robertamsterdam for his Departures podcast on books. He has defended many political prisoners around the world and is now defending the Ukrainian Orthodox Church against a threatened government ban. robertamsterdam.com/departures-pod…

I really enjoyed this discussion with Volodymyr, whose new book is really worth engaging with (link in tweet below). He was eager to talk about the western and specifically Scottish reception of the Ukraine war - which I agree led to some interesting considerations.

I enjoyed a lot this conversation. We could delve into really complex issues about the war in Ukraine, colonialism and 'self-determination', parallels and contrasts with Scotland and Palestine, dispersion and fragmentation of Ukrainians. Hopefully, some parts will be transcribed!

Moscow can end the war by simply turning round and going home. Can’t believe this tankie BS continues on this site.
Die Welt's points - that there'd be no better deal on the table, that an end to fighting early was best for Ukraine - were just as true in Sept/Oct 2022. Yet remember the stunningly unhinged, ugly response to US lawmakers meekly suggesting peace then. jacobin.com/2022/10/ukrain…
it notes that the security guarantees core to the deal would have required US, British & French approval. Recall that a) Arakhamia himself disclosed that those states were cool on that idea b) Turkish negotiators & others explicitly said some NATO states preferred war go on
Consider just how many things re-confirmed here have been widely denounced as propaganda/treasonous/etc.: - Talks to end the war were possible, close, *and desirable* - NATO membership was central to the war - Johnson played role in scuttling it welt.de/politik/auslan…

3/3 Maybe the @guardian has forgotten this article theguardian.com/commentisfree/… it published on 22/1/2014 , in which Volodymyr Ishchenko noted 'We must not forget that [the Right Sector] are people with sometimes overtly neo-Nazi ideas'.
@Volod_Ishchenko Oh of course, but the discourse will change anyway and those less responsible (like GOP) will seize the opportunity to attack those who are. With a varying degree of competence/incompetence.
This is the lead story for the Guardian right now. The leading British liberal paper whitewashing a far right brigade of its Nazi past and influence. Where are we heading? The world is getting ever more dangerous. The need for a socialist alternative could not be more urgent.
This is a fundamental reason why the warmongering class doesn’t want to stop the war now because who will answer for all the delusional plans and false expectations - before Ukrainians more than anyone else. Not to mention pushing Ukraine under the bus in the first place instead…
Die Welt on Istanbul talks: “Looking back, we can say that Ukraine was in a stronger negotiating position then than it is now. If the war had ended about two months after it started, it would have saved countless lives.” pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/…
The problem with the discourse is that it has been monopolised by war industry lobbyists, paranoid spooks and disgusting online mobs who run the discussion in the same ugly manner as American political campaigns are conducted in general. But in the US, competing partisan forces…
I’ve come to call it: gaslight governance.
One of the weirdest things about contemporary liberal so-called democracies is all the moralising one has to put up with when criminal political decisions are justified. War, migration, campus repression, you name it. As if they think we're all idiots, who can't spot propaganda.

The best, or the only, way to define the current intellectual climate is to say that whatever people used to claim to be right, now they do the opposite and they claim only this is right.
