The good news is everyone learned their lesson and never again would a Russian leader let panslavist imperial ideology and overestimation of Russian military capacity plunge the world into a mutually destruction round of conflict. — PolitiTweet.org

At any rate the good news is everyone learned there lesson and never again would a reactionary Russian leader let delusions of grandeur about panslavism plunge the world into a mutually destructive conflict... — PolitiTweet.org

The Russians just completely failed to draw the appropriate lesson from the Russo-Japanese War that their military was kind of garbage, which should have made them much more cautious about heavily backing Serbia. — PolitiTweet.org

Anyways hot take but World War I was both really bad and also, I think, a very high-contingency moment in world history. I wrote this about the Habsburgs, but the Czarist Empire was also reasonable stable absent war. https://t.co/yMXyeJA3v1 — PolitiTweet.org

Late-czarist Russia was on the upswing economically until they got too invested in the fate of Serbia and got themselves ensnared in global war. — PolitiTweet.org

@SpecialPuppy1 I think Republicans are better at bipartisanship because their base sincerely doesn't mind when GOP presidents just abandon their core ideology and policy commitments and do something like CARES or W expanding Medicare and raising the minimum wage. — PolitiTweet.org

@jonathanchait I'm surprised there's been so little copying of this, it seems like a natural extension of the traditional press secretary role. — PolitiTweet.org

But bonus Italian economic problem — they have somehow managed to combine Western Europe's lowest fertility rate with its lowest level of women's labor force participation. https://t.co/DhMoyYnbIy https://t.co/9dK7cnjv09 — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Even when Italian infrastructure projects don't go quite as well, like with Line C of the Rome Metro, they have valid non-pretextual reasons for construction delays like "we found a fantastic trove of priceless ancient artifacts." https://t.co/DhMoyYnbIy https://t.co/rTvw69LPHC — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Italians are also very good at not dying — and they are getting better at this — so even their no-growth economy is featuring some important improvements in living standards. https://t.co/DhMoyYnbIy https://t.co/Du5tqvp6UA — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
One thing facilitating growth in northern Italy is that despite the country's bad governance reputation, the Italian public sector does well — better than the US, UK, Germany, or France — at cost-effective transit projects. https://t.co/DhMoyYnbIy https://t.co/BiZYfTOtDy — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
One thing about Italy that seems banal but that strongly contrasts with the United States is that in Italy the richest places — Trentino, Milan, Bologna, Rome — are the places with the fastest population growth. https://t.co/DhMoyYnbIy https://t.co/lwWGgNJpck — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Everybody likes to write about what's wrong with the Italian economy, but I think it's more interesting in some ways to focus on the positive since there's no country where everything is going wrong. https://t.co/DhMoyYnbIy — PolitiTweet.org

The other weird thing about Swiss trade data is their largest export is gold but there are no gold mines in Switzerland, it’s just that gold is also their largest import. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
To an extent, I think this is what happens when you don't have a normal healthy amount of arbitrary/generational churn. People are hungry and ambitious, and if the only available path to upward mobility is to pick fights over new kookier ideas then that's what they'll do. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
The mods, meanwhile, have a perverse tendency to blame the progs for their electoral problems when the actual issue is stances that *they themselves decided to adopt* in order to box out the progs and maintain control of the levers of power. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
But to a large extent what the progs think is that the mods are bad people, who ought to be cast out from the circle of leadership and replaced with themselves. So instead of declaring victory, the progs espoused new further-left ideas to keep the feuding going. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
If you look at the factional arguments that existed 10 years ago, what's happened is the *people* who were on the mod side are mostly still running everything but they adopted a very large share of the *ideas* that the prog side espoused at the time. — PolitiTweet.org
