@stephenwertheim @jenszalai Ah, a second interesting point of disagreement! I don't think that having points of national moral consensus preclude cost-benefit arguments on contemporary policy issues. Really, they just work to tilt the argumentative playing field in one direction or another — PolitiTweet.org

@jenszalai Maybe? But I think even this effect is dramatically overstated. The public didn't need the specter of Hitler to be angry about 9/11 or scared of international Communism — and public justification of bad wars centered far more on those things, directly, than analogy — PolitiTweet.org

@varsha_venkat_ This seems wrong to me! Every nation has a set of national myths, understood not as falsehoods but as a set of shared narratives of the collective past. The question is not whether such a thing exists at all but which (true) elements of the past it should emphasize. — PolitiTweet.org
