☝️ It took just over three decades of no-consequences business with despots to get here — from the immediate post-Tiananmen massacre kowtow queues in Beijing to putin launching a full-scale war on Ukraine in attempt to take it all, or if that fails, to simply eradicate the nation.

And now the axis of despots are backing and cheering on their fellow terrorists' attack on Israel.

Fully building up that axis took many years, but the memo from the 'Free World' was sent and noted by the CCP in the autumn of 1989.

Due to greed and indifference of investors and industrialists from democracies (!) we ended up funding and empowering hostile despots instead of friendly developing democracies.

And here we are. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So here, in a (fairly large) nutshell, is why I say #democracy is non-negotiable.

I also happen to think that democracies have to protect each other. If democrats are divided, authoritarians can pick us off one by one.

For instance, #Russia has to lose the genocidal war it's waging in #Ukraine .

Any other result would encourage autocrats and very likely lead to more war in the future.

Hence, I'm a cautious supporter of #neoidealism . A great overview is here:

We desperately need an affirmative vision for #21stcentury Earth.

We must address the #climatecrisis while expanding #humanrights and #economicjustice.

Perhaps #SolarPunk and #NeoIdealism are good places to start.

The main point of conflict I see between #SolarPunk and #NeoIdealism is economic structure.

#SolarPunk has a strong #anticapitalism streak, that asserts #Capitalism is incompatible with surviving #ClimateChange and #SocialJustice

#NeoIdealism might be able to embrace and subsume this critique by including domestic #SocialJustice and #sustainability as key values, and thus essential constraints on #Globalism and #Growth

This long read on #NeoIdealism is fascinating, in Byline Supplement to @bylinetimes

Benjamin Tallis, of the German Council of Foreign Relations, argues that Neo-Idealism in the context of #InternationalRelations is

"a definitive break with Liberal Internationalism’s sometimes facile reading of the ‘end of history’ – relying on the ‘convergence wager’ in which the spread of liberal economics would inevitably seed liberal politics ..."

Aber tonangebend sind die Vertreter des #neoidealism wohl ausschließlich in Sachen #Ukraine und #Russland.

Sobald es um #SaudiArabien, #Aserbaidschan, #Israel, #China u.v.m. geht, orientiert sich die Politik der EU aktuell definitiv nicht am Neo-Idealismus.

Benjamin Tallis hat einen neuen Begriff der Politikwissenschaft geprägt: #NeoIdealism.

Neo-Idealisten würden im "Westen" seit dem Vorjahr den Ton angeben - und demokratische Ideale zur Grundlage ihrer globalen Strategie machen.

@toomas_ilves

Good thread on #NeoIdealism by Ben Tallis (🐦site).

It reminded me of one phrase:

“Cognitive dissonance in performative context“

It is essentially a meaningless string of words, but it captures the essence of the one day in a year — the Holocaust Remembrance Day — when leaders gather, try to look serious and utter serious words.

1. What is Neo-Idealism?
(seeing as many of you have asked)
It’s a new approach to Grand Strategy & International Relations that I think we can see emerging in responses to #Russia’s war & from #Ukraine’s brave resistance.
