Son dönemde bu mecraya olan akından beni de takibe alan çok insan oldu. Merhabalar. Baştan haber vereyim de sonra tadımız bozulmasın: siyaset bilimciyim, en çok ezilenin yanındayım, yani kimin insan hakları tehdit altındaysa onunlayım, bilim ve aşı taraftarıyım.

All hierarchical structures create fertile ground for abuse of power. And the academic-scientific complex is a big fat hierarchy.

History shows a pattern here.
When governments begin criminalizing the observation of dissent—using technical oversteps as justification—it’s often a warning sign. We’ve seen similar patterns precede press crackdowns in countries like Turkey, Russia, and Myanmar.

Yes! “Das Betreuungsverhältnis ist in vielen politikwissenschaftlichen Instituten heute schon zu schlecht für die optimale Art von Lernen, die auf individueller Ansprache, Feedback und Überarbeitungen beruht – also einer Begleitung des Prozesses statt nur der Bewertung des Endprodukts.”
Wenn deutsche Unis so weiterschlafen, haben wir AGI bevor auch nur eine Prüfungsordnung im KI-Zeitalter angekommen ist.

Authoritarian governments claim to imprison journalists not b/o their journalistic activities but b/o something else of course 🙄 So if you let this one slip away, more journalists will be arrested for sure. They’re always testing, two step fwd, one step back.

Yesterday, I awoke to news of another ICE killing in MN. On Bluesky, the conversation was deeply critical of ICE. But I wanted to see how things were going on X. Surprisingly, the attempts there to blame the victim weren't getting as much traction as I suspected. So I wrote a thing.

Look it’s “dış mihraklar” spin story. I have heard this story so many times growing up. Somehow protestors always come from afar, hence the “hostile foreign elements” discourse. If ever there was an authoritarian’s handbook, the US is following it to a T.
Emmer: "The people you're seeing in these videos, the vast majority of them I do not believe are from Minnesota. These are organized chaos agents, paid agitators. The vast majority of Minnesotans that are talking to me appreciate that law enforcement has arrived, and they are happy they're there."

This is the Trump Organisation that the UK, Europe and Arab countries are being asked to buy into as an alternative to the UN. Understandably, many are hesitant.

Feminist IR theory has no problem with explaining and predicting Trump’s foreign policy. It is hegemonic hypermasculinity stripped off of any pretensions of “high politics”.

In Turkey, analysts and experts were sounding the alarm from roughly 2013 about the economy and political pressure on the Central Bank. The economic crisis didn't fully arrive until 2018, after Erdoğan had consolidated power. These mechanisms are not self-defending
Or even better: look at Turkey’s stock market, under the crazy policies that delivered inflation north of 70% (still above 30%). Markets can go very high under crazy policies, because lots of money can still be made, even in economies that are being immiserated.

All these analyses on the possibility of Greenland’s invasion and the bargaining chips proposed to entice Trump... Look, I know when I see a three-year-old and there is no bargaining with them. You can distract them by tangling a shiny object but sooner or later they will throw that ball to the tv.
