For Plato, the difference between a deplorable tyrant and a worthy king is not a matter of the structure of governance — much less a matter of the centralization of power — but rather a matter of character. Both kings and tyrants exercise absolute control, but tyrants are beholden to their appetites, while kings obey the dictates of reason.

In my latest Theory of Change episode, I spoke with political scientist Eric Oliver about his research showing that American political divides reflect cognitive divides between "intuitionists" who think with their guts and "rationalists" who prefer abstract thinking.
His book predicted the RFK-Trump synthesis so is worth much discussion. https://plus.flux.community/p/americas-political-divide-is-psychological

@gemelliz @ottaross Came here for this:
“To Poilievre : to remove a political leader so hastily that the hair (or hare? #pun ) off his back is still in the old riding, while he’s bribing his way into the new one.”
Ex: the far right guy in #australia got poilievre’d.
Total #polisci geekgasm. Im sorry, and thank you.
I'm keeping track of candidates in Waterloo Region and adding their contact and social media info as I find it. CBC is one of my sources.
If someone needs a #PoliSci research project, see which parties have the best communications channels, and correlate that with their political leanings...

Really appreciating the cutting tone of this Chrisjen Avasarala-based character prompt I've been crafting for DeepSeek-R1. She doesn't mince words.
French scholar, working and living in Prague.
My research focuses on party politics and social cleavages in the Arab world. I have mostly worked on Egypt (since my PhD) and more recently (2019) on Tunisia.

Does anyone have recommendations for good political theory podcasts?
Quote from a friend who's listening to a political podcast:
I should add that I came into this thinking "Oh, maybe Hobbes is just a dude who thinks humans are all smarmy requiring a stiff hand to keep civil" but at this point I'm thinking "Okay,he really likes authority and the earlier impression of him seems right."
My God, I think they've got it!
🚨 Paper alert 🚨
In "Interlocking institutions and elite networks in democratic organizations" Tuomas Niska, @veikko nd @Juuliahei map the network of +4000 people to sho how civil society elites link with institutional democracy in city councils and parliamentary politics.

"it is possible that a better-informed public would favor a foreign policy that was even more selfish, shortsighted, and immoral, especially if they believed that Chomsky and Robinson’s prescriptions would require them to make costly or painful adjustments."

The U.S. Senate is really ready to be giving up all their power? Can we not rely on them to be a little greedy for their own power? Acquiescing to the President can make them just a rubber stamp, like the russian duma, and effectively powerless.
