      Specifically that tirade was directed at both left Nietzschians and right anti-imperialists (all terminally online) who were casting doubt on Iran after Haniyeh's assassination, but it is a larger pattern that I only noticed around then. The latter calling Pezeshkian Armenian before realizing he was Azerbaijani and having to backpedal on the wild speculation was sidesplitting to me. The implications are grave though. 2/3 Iranians are reformists. It's not a fucking fifth column. The world is a complex place and every single mistake is measured and adds up, but in 360 degrees of unpredictable trajectories and sudden deceptive discontinuities.

      Of course the left Nietzschians are you guys and since I came into your cage I will not go after you for the same reason I would not threaten any animal in a cage. So we will stick to the right anti-imperialists. While the Russian media can say things outside the scope of the Western narrative, many actors in state media and the online "military blogger" community continue to parrot Western psyops. [DISCLAIMER: VAGUE, INDETERMINATE SCOPE, HEAVY ON VIBES] Russia is getting back on track, so to speak, but I can't overlook the way that like Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the idea of a successful insurgency kind of scares the shit out of them. It really is due to the power of the US educating most of the world's institutions from the inside, disciplining them from the outside. In spite of all that

        I didn't even know about it when I was writing that.

        Can you picture a more heroic death? I tell myself that I am getting the picture these days, sometimes, but the idea of a man like that engaging in a standard front line raid, it is jawdropping to me. I am awestruck honestly. I admit now I know nothing about their operations. All we know is media criticism. We are blind. Every day they live out heroism that is beyond the wildest fantasies of the shitty fucking writers who inspired us as children. There is a wild confrontation awaiting all of us, and avoiding it will only degrade and torture us.
