Here's another striking chart, one looking at the causes of democratic decline across the world. There's a consistent pattern — attacks on a free press and civil society/academia are among the most common causes of democratic decline around the world. https://t.co/61TxPNVhDR — PolitiTweet.org

The best counter-argument to this view is that Russian or Chinese aggression could plausibly lead to a nuclear war, but if that happens democracy will be the least of our concerns — PolitiTweet.org

Anyway, I'll keep banging my drum that the future of global democracy depends less on decisions in Moscow and Beijing than fights over power in Washington and New Delhi — yes, even after the Ukraine war — PolitiTweet.org

These two charts are really telling. There's a notable increase in the percentage of countries that are autocratic, but a vastly bigger jump in the percentage of people living in an autocracy. That's largely due V-Dem's judgment that India under Modi is no longer democratic. https://t.co/xB4ZWyrYUs — PolitiTweet.org

"The level of democracy enjoyed by the average global citizen in 2021 is down to levels last registered in 1989. The last 30 years of democratic advances following the end of the Cold War have been eradicated." https://t.co/BuBWcXjhPL https://t.co/vJP5kgDGx8 — PolitiTweet.org

@jerometenk kind of the opposite — PolitiTweet.org

This is in Hume's Third Essay in the "ethics, political, and literary" collection. You just can't say stuff like this anymore, it sucks https://t.co/hQLhLtMAc5 — PolitiTweet.org

I always get jealous reading Enlightenment philosophers on politics. They got away with so many sweeping generalizations about empirical reality because nobody really knew any better. — PolitiTweet.org

Naming an idiosyncratic school of international relations thought with very specific and stylized assumptions "realism" was one of the greatest branding coups of the 20th century — PolitiTweet.org

It is so funny that this, and not any of the other things that he and Boebert and Greene and Gaetz do on the regular, that got Cawthorn in actual trouble — PolitiTweet.org

The fact that this tweet hasn’t gone viral proves the culture of intimidation and fear that pervades liberal media, where writers are terrified of the judgments of their peers. Subscribe to my Substack — PolitiTweet.org

Democratic backsliding in India, powered by violent anti-Muslim bigotry, is probably the biggest story in the world that (mostly) flies under the radar in the American press https://t.co/j75L9LGSTF — PolitiTweet.org
