Today's = 1st 🎂 of article in International Affairs articulating #pacifist critique of reactions to Russian invasion of #Ukraine ➡️ https://doi.org/10.1093/ia/iiae275 #nonviolence #pacifism #war #Russia #militarism

#nonviolent civil disobedience 2/ exposes 2 ingrained assumptions (on efficacy of #violence, & violence in 'human nature') 3/ reflects on how war transforms agents of violence & entrenches 'warism'/militarism -

The #WhitePoppy has been worn in the run-up to Remembrance Day for over ninety years, as a symbol of remembrance and peace.

Short thread summary: Paper seeks to articulate overdue #anarchopacifist lens to #IR #theory. Explicitly #critical & #normative. Starts with brief #history of cross-pollination between #anarchism & #pacifism.

Look at this fawning guff. We're being told what to think here - "this is the GOOD kind of military parade, folks, not the HORRIBLE kind that our enemies might hold..."
