The Melian Dialogue has a similar role to the Clausewitz quote about “politics by other means” - it exists to give a bit of frisson and even sexual pleasure to morons who have never read those quotes in context but who are still desperate to sound smart.

Is it strong or weak to throw trans people under the bus? Is it strong or weak to target and destroy homeless encampments? Is it strong or weak to adopt your nominal enemy's platform rather than stand on principles? Gtfoh.

Look, all I’m saying is that why are there so many black, Asian, and indigenous characters and homoeroticism forced into a story set in pre-Civil War America that drills it into us that the villain is white?

People who fancy quoting the Melian Dialogue ("the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must") ignore the fact that Thucydides was clearly portraying this as the kind of hubris that squandered Athens' primacy and paved the way for a devastating peer war that it ultimately lost.

It's doubly silly because 1. it's not a "distraction" any more than a live grenade in a conference room is a "distraction", & 2. It's not like the health insurance increases are going to be forgotten in the hullabaloo. Insurance companies are real, real good at ensuring you remember you owe them.
are you people fucking crazy. do you understand how insane and stupid you sound claiming the invasion of a sovereign fucking country is a 4D chess distracterino
Chris Murphy: "At some level he's winning tonight because clearly part of his intent here was to distract the American people -- you and I -- from what's happening here at home. You have 20 million families who are getting massive increases in their healthcare premiums. People will die."

I understand that the goal is to focus their messaging on Affordability and all but I am tired of the twelve dimensional chess framing
the president is a bunch of evil fireflies beeping in a jar, he doesn’t distract from things so much as it’s a different firefly’s turn
he wants oil, kidnap maduro

deep down it genuinely feels like that the consultant class has basically argued that any framing that treats voters as consumers exclusively is basically the optimal approach
this is probably bad for democracy

The one industry actor Politico talked to that seems excited about the opportunities is, if you read carefully, a group of expat former Venezuelan oil industry people who presumably want their old jobs back
