These unaccountable structures are what every autocracy uses, and it's no coincidence would-be autocrats in democracies try to build them as well. Family, corporations, secrecy, shifting power away from oversight. — PolitiTweet.org

This method is effective & is acquiring imitators. When every company--banks, energy, hardware--and every billionaire from Russia or China or Saudi must serve their state, the laws falter. — PolitiTweet.org

Putin speak openly about "Russian patriots" hacking other countries, or "pro-Russian militants" invading Ukraine. This feeble deniability works because the free world stupidly accepts it too often. — PolitiTweet.org

This distinction is the key to the problem. Putin's mafia structure is designed to give "Russia" deniability. Like using mercenaries instead of conscripts. How broadly was Mueller allowed to construe someone like Deripaska serving "Russia"? — PolitiTweet.org

Putin and his imitators are good at finding the gray areas of public/private, legal/illegal, media/propaganda, and they exploit every gap. Legal systems & news orgs in the free world are bound by strict rules & traditions of fair play. — PolitiTweet.org

Campaign finance reform, full financial disclosure, eliminating potential conflicts of interest. Running for office or running a country for personal gain must be proscribed if real democracy is to survive. — PolitiTweet.org

As with Trump's power grabs post-election, there is a lot of work to do so that the letter of the law matches the spirit of the law. If winning an election after asking for and receiving the aid of a hostile foreign power isn't illegal, it sure as hell should be. — PolitiTweet.org

Defending will require transparency, unity, and a commitment to strengthening the institutions Putin exploits so easily. It will also require fighting back on terms a mafia responds to. — PolitiTweet.org

This pattern has repeated all over. Loans to Western politicians & parties with Russian backing, millions in donations from private citizens. Technically very little of it is "Russia," but it's always Putin. — PolitiTweet.org

So Trump's campaign manager sharing data with a Ukrainian loyal to the Kremlin or a billionaire crony of Putin isn't "conspiring with Russia" only in the most technical, least accurate sense. — PolitiTweet.org

Putin uses his oligarchs as emissaries to corrupt, cultivate, and compromise foreign business people and politicians. But they aren't officially state actors. It's a mafia using a nation for cover. — PolitiTweet.org

@fastflier Of course. I didn't say "because", it reflected the culture apathy. The end of the space race was a concrete reason re NASA spending, etc., but long before the USSR fell, as I wrote in Winter Is Coming. — PolitiTweet.org

The turn toward dystopian sci-fi & tech-pessimism, in hand with the 70s environmental movement, mirrored our turn away from space, from exploration that inspired us all--and also produced so much essential tech & growth. — PolitiTweet.org

When the predominant themes in sci-fi were "naive" optimism about humans using tech to solve problems, we were very ambitious in real life as well, in exploration & research that created the modern digital world. — PolitiTweet.org

Sci-fi is predictive mostly in how it represents attitudes toward tech & society that can be self-fulfilling. If we irrationally fear a tech dystopia we become cautious when ambition is required for growth. — PolitiTweet.org
