reading matt sleat and i'm prepared to be obnoxiously nitpicky the whole way through
ex: sleat attributes too much intentionality to geuss here. G has stated repeatedly that he made a massive mistake using 'realism' to denote anti wishful thinking, and does not have much respect for IR realism
i'm too tired to keep reading tonight but tomorrow i get the pay-off chapter: can our hero matt save liberalism? things are looking grim indeed for the poor chap.
lol idk i finished and its fine. more coherent liberalism but none the more compelling for that. there's a reason the rhetoric of liberalism doesn't focus on "restrained masters" and "moderate hegemony"
