Tak til @JacobBarfoed for at tage mit spørgsmål om krisestabilitet alvorligt: vigtig debat. Mindre heldigt formuleres tweet1 som ”eskalation”, og mange andre tror, jeg advarer mod at ”provokere Rusland”. The gloves are off. Vi skal ikke tage hensyn til hvad Rusland kan lide /1 Men: Vi har en EGENINTERESSE i at undgå MILITÆR ustabilitet. Undgå at situationen i en krise kan løbe løbsk. At pege på det kriterium, må ikke gøres fordækt. Så får vi en håbløs forsvarsdebat /2

Så troller Villemoes igen. Nej han synes ikke vi skal fejre Ukraines sejre eller analysere den nye situation. Nej lad os hellere finde gamle citater og friklippet-af-kontekst læse politiske synder ind i dem. Du og andre poster dette klip hver måned. Jeg har ignoreret<1/45> 45?Ja! fordi et svar bliver dumt selv-centreret. I sagens natur. Når *I* går efter personen. Men nu gider jeg ikke lade fejlfortolkningerne fortsætte. Ja, jeg sagde hvad man ser på klippet, og ja Ukraine har heroisk forsvaret deres land langt over forventning; min og de flestes. <2/45>

This twitter process is bad. Can we limit the damage? Now, I will get 100 tweets “you should have thought about that earlier”. No comment! (You can guess my answer, if you really care.) I intend to stick to my own twitter silence but to have one go at possibilities 1/10 Intimidation, shaming and threats have absolutely no place in academia. Critical race studies is a legitimate and important field of study for uncovering forms of power too long left unchecked within and beyond IR 2/10

Enough said about that article as such. The writings of H&RM vs B&W are not Twitter kind of stuff. Writings of both are available now (at last!). Those who care can READ both and judge on the basis of that; not twitter 1/9 Two other more important debates should be: if not like this, then HOW do we deal with systemic racism – both in the field and analytically integrating this global structure with other analyses + question about journals' responsibility for fostering productive interactions 2/9

#SecuritizationTheory is racist, anti-black, methodologically white, civilizationist & supremacist. Claimed article by Howell&Richter-Montpetit in SecurityDialogue Aug19. The theory’s creators #BarryBuzan & I now got reply publ’ed w many hurdles #SdScandal bit.ly/3dM7AbS H&RM empty out the critical clout of calling #racism by stretching it to far-fetched speculations about our theory. What’s left to call the actual racism playing out around us today? Is devaluing the category ‘racist’ useful? #TrivilializingRacism #AcademicNavelgazing 2/18
