@MerkinMuffley5 the stupidest thing about this is that even someone in the bottom half of the distribution for a standardized test to *enter* medical school still has to *graduate* from medical school, and there is no real relationship between the former and the latter — PolitiTweet.org

@BilboOfTheShire @OlufemiOTaiwo @zackbeauchamp @sckimbriel @lastpositivist simply declaring things a strawman does not make them so — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@zackbeauchamp @OlufemiOTaiwo @sckimbriel @lastpositivist in which case, is it still “liberalism” or is it something very different, given how these subject peoples and the intellectuals who spoke for them were opposed, often ruthlessly, by the liberal regimes in question? — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@zackbeauchamp @OlufemiOTaiwo @sckimbriel @lastpositivist and to the extent that liberalism is responsible for the liberation of that bulk of humanity, it is because it was coopted by those subject groups and re-envisioned toward their own ends — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@zackbeauchamp @OlufemiOTaiwo @sckimbriel @lastpositivist how about this: the spread of liberalism (and capitalism) were concurrent with and deeply entangled in the construction of a global race hierarchy that explicitly held the bulk of humanity as not possessing liberal personhood. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@OlufemiOTaiwo @zackbeauchamp @sckimbriel @lastpositivist also, it is arguably the case that what you get when you disentangle liberalism from the race hierarchy that structured its development isn’t really liberalism anymore, that’s how fundamental the latter was to the former — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@zackbeauchamp @OlufemiOTaiwo @sckimbriel @lastpositivist i don’t want to discount the extent to which ideologies can grab and compel people but also “liberalism” is not the reason that, for instance, black southerners thought Jim Crow was bad and fought for its defeat for most of a century — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@zackbeauchamp @OlufemiOTaiwo @sckimbriel @lastpositivist so i think an issue i have here is that you seem to have a non-materialist account of why things happen. like, the civil war did not occur simply because of the spread of liberal ideals. if anything, abolitionists were adapting liberal ideals to circumstances — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@OlufemiOTaiwo @sckimbriel @deonteleologist @zackbeauchamp @lastpositivist as i will never tire of reminding people, in the face of an epochal slave rebellion carried out by enslaved africans quoting the declaration of the rights of man, the preeminent liberal theorists of the time were terrified and appalled. weird. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@zackbeauchamp @OlufemiOTaiwo @sckimbriel @lastpositivist anyway liberalism may well be worth defending and securing but it does no one any good to pretend that the liberal tradition was not intimately involved in the violence and construction of hierarchies that helped make the modern world — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@zackbeauchamp @OlufemiOTaiwo @sckimbriel @lastpositivist the dissenters did not win because of strength of argument though, the dissenters won because catastrophic events opened up avenues for fundamental change. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@zackbeauchamp @OlufemiOTaiwo @sckimbriel @lastpositivist this reminds me of the capitalism and slavery discussion, in which defenders of capitalism insist that there is nothing about the system that requires slavery, somehow missing that in our timeline, actually-existing capitalism was built on a foundation of slavery & expropriation. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@zackbeauchamp @OlufemiOTaiwo @sckimbriel @lastpositivist seems that if the leaders & intellectuals in the paradigmatically liberal states of the 19th and 20th centuries all believed that slavery/colonialism/imperialism were compatible with liberalism, you have to do more to account for this than simply say “they were inconsistent.” — PolitiTweet.org
