every political scientist stands there all post-ideological and then explains how complex world issues actually happen, through a lens derived from whatever school your advisor subscribed to

a guy i know told me that for political risk studies they have like a huge table of points with things like "leader wears a military uniform in public" and such, which is used for estimating what chance your mining operation will get shut down or nationalized or whatever. imagine how ideological that sort of thing is. like "hmm peasants getting poisoned has a 14% chance of creating risk"

then sometimes they will try to be like the more serious social sciences

look at us, being empirical

you put aside any objections implied by doing that in the first place and you recognize modelling errors a second-year business major in a stats class could spot

How many university slots exist teaching silly pretend things like political science and thomas friedman economics? It will all eventually be thought of like fire temples and divination by scattering rabbit hip bones on top of a barrel. If we please the gods of money by drawing a chart where the arrow keeps going up forever, the money will come to us, in a sort of shoemaker and the elves style

Huntington was right though, more so than any of this Marxist historical dialectic nonsense.

Race burns class homies, and when people think of culture they start reaching for their guns

the countries in southeast asia that that map ignores are only i guess a few hundred million people so they don't count as civilizations.

not a civilization unless you're wearing some sort of prussian uniform.
