anyone to follow from Iran, Pakistan, Lebanon, Bahrain, yemen, oman, etc. who discusses these issues. The point is that the 4 people on this website from my field are all American. Come on guys how do you not get this and instead berate me for following people from the usa...

I am talking about all the debate on war and international politics on this website, the feeds on war and politics, the discovery and for you feeds, rhe posts that get big, the comments, the discourse in general. It is about everything, not about who i follow. The point is that there is barely

Dus nee het gaat totaal niet over mijn following feed maar over het algehele debat op deze website, over alle feeds over internationale politiek en oorlog, de discover en for you feeds, welke posts populair worden, de comments etc

Het gaat over dat de mensen op deze website die over mijn onderwerp, internationale politiek en oorlog posten, overweldigend veel uit de VS komen, in tegenstelling tot twitter waar je wel mensen hebt die uit Yemen, Bahrain, Iran, Pakistan, lebanonen etc komen en erover posten vanuit hun perspectief

Why are people responding to this post as if i am from the US....

I see that you are actually from the usa... Which makes this comment even more tone deaf. You do not understand how much the US perspective is forced down our throat all the time, but thanks for the lecturer

What an incredibly weird comment

I am not from the us myself, mute a million us terms, always seeking out non us people. But that does not mean the debate on international politics and war is overwhelmingly dominated by people from the US

This website is insufferably American right now. Yes they oppose the war in Iran, but their analytical lens is really only on the US and the US interests, supporting the US imperial project.

Gotta love how academic books don't earn you money, but LLMs can make money off of stealing them in the aggregate and if you write enough, they can also profit from stealing your personality after you are dead.

This is the story of slavery at its most traumatic, one predicated not just on physical violence against enslaved people by slave owners, but the all-encompassing terror of slavery as a psychological tool of control and oppression, and the desperate ways enslaved people tried to resist it.

This sounds like a shitpost but I am being serious for once. What are the best IR/FPA works on stupidity? Because from a theoretical standpoint, the ability to signal clearly and interpret the signals being sent correctly is nontrivially important in the bargaining process.

I have a board game social group with colleagues (that are also friends)...it took 5 years to actually come together and play board games. We come together constantly, just no board games involved

I’m looking for scholars / scholarship with a very specific expertise: what have been the most effective tactics in subverting the U.S. Department of State in UNFCCC? I’m looking very specifically for IR/IL researchers who have asked this question empirically. Please connect me if you know!
