Estonia-based researcher @ivanklyszcz.com on #neoidealism:
"It’s not so much about abstract values as about making defence a legitimate, visible, and shared concern in liberal democratic societies."
I learned a few things from interviewing Ivan for the @greeneujournal.bsky.social.
There is someone who has ideas about that @bctallis.bsky.social
#neoidealism
Anyone who cares about democracy & freedom has a stake in deterring Chinese aggression.
V important point from @glandsbergis.bsky.social
In discussions of power politics, values matter.
Yes, we’re in a power competition but we’re also in a systemic competition

There is a epilogue section on #ProgressiveSecurity, & another on #BenjaminTallis’ #NeoIdealism (I hate #neo termed anything, as it is always lame & lazy) calling it #UnCancelling-the-Future & an #eco-modernist #hopefulness
(p286-7)
FFS 🤦🏻♀️ the #phrasing is painful, though his ideas seem solid.

We lack an alternative Progressive Vision & Narrative.
#NeoIdealism may prove to be useful when it comes to finding one to counter the rise of Nationalism, Authoritarianism, Populism & Oligarchic Capitalism.
@bctallis.bsky.social is worth listening to.

Great @siliconcurtain.bsky.social interview with @bctallis.bsky.social, another strategist well worth following. There is nothing I disagree with.
Check out #NeoIdealism too #Butterflies.
I do hope Starmer gets off the middle Atlantic fence soon & rejoins Europe fully.
Well #Butterflies & #NewFunThread each day I find it harder to know what to say that will make any difference.
There is still a Criminal in the White House & a War Criminal in the Kremlin and I don't see that changing any time soon.
And where is the Progressive counter to them?

The challenges to our freedom have not shrunk since then, but nor has Lithuanians' determination to rise to & overcome them. Drawing on their history, but looking to our common future, Lithuania is a standard bearer for the approach Europe needs to not only survive, but thrive.

Excellent to see this out!
@avindman.bsky.social compellingly puts forth the case for a neo-idealist foreign & security policy.
We should treat our values as our interests & arm ourselves to ruthlessly pursue them.
Great to see #NeoIdealism getting take up & taken on…
Patriotic: having or expressing devotion to and vigorous support for one's country.
As your country is now represented by the Musk/Trump administration, I think your views clash with being patriotic.
I do admire your commitment to your ideals, but I don't think patriotic is the word. #NeoIdealism?
Feeling shocked by the news in the past days?
In this thread @bctallis.bsky.social gives a great overview what we must do now.
We can do it. We just have to.
