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
What does this mean? Not criticizing, genuinely curious what category of thought(/action?) you have in mind here.
The basis for most leftists is not materialism but idealism rooted in the tradition of German imperialist philosophers like Heidegger and Nietzsche, who have been venerated and smoothed over and venerated again and then denied by the intellectual apparatus (the system of universities and journals that decides which ideas are received by anyone) until everyone has their own little micro tradition of Nietzschianism to suit their tastes. Nevermind their actual Nazi beliefs. It didn't bother Chomsky or Foucault or Zizek.
Of course, nobody engages directly with intellectuals. You don't even read, or even pay attention to the alt-media which whether branding itself as left or right has roots in the same intellectual tradition, you may occassionally still engage with the Jon Stewart style kids' entertainment/comedy adaptstion of the same ideas, but you guys get all of your news through the new pyramid scheme of Google and Amazon content creators.
So, it is no trouble for you to deny the entire intellectual tradition. You don't even know particularly where "your youtube guy everyone should check out" got his ideas, but at least he seems to talk like he knows what he is saying. And since he was likely bred on The Young Turks and other things like that, he is still many steps away from even investigating where he gets his ideas from.
