@Jazzy_Butts I remember seeing this shit as a "kink" in porn.
Like, women ripping the condom off and then demanding the guy go back in or some shit.
Dude, it's like, I get it, but, like, what even is "rape" nowadays?

*Correction, Syrian/Partisangirl didn't make the original post about the toddler in a secret police prison.
But she reposted it, and commented on the post saying "there are children in women's prisons in America".
Someone correctly pointed out, "I thought you don't like what "imperialists" do?". True point. Now she's defending Assad by saying, "well, the Americans (might) do similar".
MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.
There are more pictures of the Syrian officer in the replies to the thread, and it's crazy, because the guy, like many depraved criminals, videotaped and took pictures of his own crimes!
He's pointing guns at people's heads, he's beating them, stringing them up and whipping them.
And, to top it all off, it looks like he injected his arms with synthol to make himself look hench.
He isn't even the only Shia militia type guy to do that. Many Iraqi Shia militia take steroids or inject synthol to make themselves look menacing.
Pathetic monsters. They can't even be honest monsters. They have to LARP about even being monsters! It's crazy.
I really don't want to say it, because I'm not religious (at least, not as religious as your average Muslim), but the Shia simply can't be trusted.
For some time, I supported Assad because I fell for the propaganda that he was "the protector of all minorities" and that "he was against terror".
My friends, who are part of the pro-Western liberal wing, also begrudgingly supported him because "there's no one better to keep the country stable".
Now, with everything that is happening and has happened, he, and his most die-hard supporters, have been exposed as insane criminals, worse than ISIS (that's saying something), bloodthirsty, depraved and psychotic. Incapable of recognizing fault and apologizing.
This is a well-known pro-Hezbollah (therefore pro-Assad) account:
> "HTS R EGGECUTING INNOCENT PEEPL!!!!!!"
> "OK, HE DID FEED PRISONERS TO HIS PET LION"
Insane. Criminal. Disgusting.
Only weeks before they made a post about how supporting Assad was a duty because you would be fighting against depraved terrorism...
PartisanGirl literally made a post explaining away why a toddler was in a secret-police prison for women. She completely ignored that many of those in that jail have been there for around 10 years, meaning, the mother of that child was most likely raped by the guards, and gave birth in the jail. What a fucking lunatic.
I said it before, but I really do feel sick with all these revelations.

You yourself earlier were talking about some admixture being OK, as long as it doesn't upset the majority ethnic makeup (the center).
Ukrainians are not "pure", for example (well, maybe Western Ukrainians, but that's only a small part of Ukraine). Russo-Ukrainians are the ones doing the fighting and dying FOR Ukraine. You have the Crimean Tartars etc... that's not "ethno-nationalism", that's just patriotism.
The British are a mixture of Germanic, Gallic, Gaelic and Scandenavian.
You're ignoring reality.
"Admixture is genocide"
This is just the mirror image of the people pushing Chedder Man. The fact you can't see this is astounding, tbqh.
30 years? How successful have you been with this? I don't want to be an asshole, but I don't think very successful.
"Symbolic whiteness"
"THIS ALWAYS FAILS"
This is what Americans are arguing for. "White nationalism" is an American thing. You're projecting.
I'm not advocating for a unified Europe, or for "White nationalism" in Europe. Where have I said that? I'm arguing for coming to terms with reality and history.
"Learn from history"
Well, that's highly ironic...
How is it missing the point when you're talking about "unbroken"? You're just using a different word. At least, that's how I'm interpreting what you're saying. Correct me if I'm wrong.
You say "we" and "the West", but I take it you live in America, and not Europe?
I'm not disagreeing with the main point you're making (there is a "center", Spengler would say there is a "spirit" of a people which distinguishes them from others).
My position is that if groups have some admixture, that's fine. Nothing inherently wrong with that.
Being "mixed" does not mean that you don't belong to an overarching "culture". It's just more nuanced than "I am only this one group". Being of only one ethnic group is pretty rare, even in Western Europe.
I live in a place where the "pure"/"unbroken" ("Aryan" naturally blonde + blue-eyed) people reside in a pretty much isolated province. Everyone else has admixture from somewhere or other (mostly from within Europe). Yet, of course, they're all part of the same overarching culture/"spirit".
Also, one of the crazy things about my family history is that my great-grandfathers probably fought on opposite sides during WW1.
WW2 they both fought for the "Allies".
Wild, isn't it?
I'm a Slav mutt.
High Slav (landed Czechslovak/Bohemian nobility who moved to Amerikkka) + low Slav (Serbian).
Throw some tiny Jewish admixture in there, just because you can't be a Slav nowadays without a tiny bit of Ashkenazi.
*My Czech ancestors were extremely antisemitic, just fyi.
Too untermensch for the Neezis, too bourgeois for the Commies.
Germanics are a people of miscegenation too.
Italian Fascists at least recognized that, both regarding themselves as well as regarding the Germanics.
Hitler and Himmler genuinely believed their people were "pure" (no people are "pure", it just doesn't work that way).
Yeah, you can say they were "purer" than others, but that doesn't make them "pure".
I mean, Hitler was a bit of a fucking dumbass (*understatement*), tbh.
His whole thing was basically the Germanic/"Aryan"/"Nordic" version of the Russkiy Mir.
And as we see in Ukraine, that is hardly "ethno-nationalism". That's "my nationalism is the only nationalism" nationalism because everyone is secretly "Germanic".
According to some reports, Daraa has been taken by the rebels, again without almost any fighting.
The SAA agreed to leave, most likely heading north to Damascus for a last stand.
The SAA is crumbling, and Assad has still said nothing.
The only statements coming out are from Syrian government officials about how they're "winning" and "the counteroffensive" will happen.
Assad is clearly terrified. Who wouldn't be, in this situation? I'd actually wager he's going to be killed within the Kremlin. Putin views him as dead weight.
His wife is heading to Russia along with his children. Other relatives made the safe decision to remain in the UAE.
Endsieg.
Kurds have taken full control of the Iraqi border.
SAA units are retreating to Damascus to buttress the defence there.
Russian airforce jets tried cutting the M5 highway to Homs, but they failed, twice.
Rebels are on the outskirts of the city, in the process of encircling it.
They have sent drone operators to tie-down SAA in Latakia, preventing them linking up with SAA forces by Homs/Damascus.
And, finally, there is apparently an uprising south of Damascus, in the area of Daraa.
This is the end. No question now. This is the end of Assad's regime.

I think the feeling you describe is more localism.
In the same way that Bavarians considered (and still consider) themselves Bavarian, and not Prussian, or how Catalans view themselves, or how Scots view themselves etc...
Yes, I agree, the challenge is having a positive goal that is inward-looking rather than outward-looking.
Yeah, fair enough, I guess having resources but not having organization makes sense.
"Russia is never as strong as they look. Russia is never as weak as they look"
I guess there is some merit to the argument of "decolonization" of Russia as a Federation/"Empire". Breaking it apart and going back to Novgorod (although Finland won't be happy with that), Moscovy and all the others. "Russian nationalism" is a misnomer. On the one hand, their power would be much smaller (good thing?), but on the other, with a smaller region to control, they'd, you know, have a better chance of actually controlling things and becoming more (I hate to say it) Democratic (in a Decembrists fashion). They may even become wealthy because of it (resources + smaller less diverse pop + smaller area to control = profit?)
I'm veering away from straight nationalism, I think. Even though I started my "dissident" journey as one (maybe as a "hipster nationalist" as you say). I see its problems now, more clearly than ever before. Nationalism exists when there's an outside enemy. European-style nationalism was a product of Napoleon's Empire and the enlightenment (one could argue it was brought about by Napoleon's failure to be sincere when he talked about "spreading the enlightenment"). Without an enemy, nationalism falters. And no one wants perpetual conflict, at least, not anymore (with the advent of the internet, mass-communiation and mass-migration).
I think Spencer and many on his side are grappling with this. He even went on a rant about Wifejack, saying "if this is the "right-wing", then I support White Genocide (TM)".
Hahaha "little Ukraine hiccup" is like the meme of "small Chinese conflict = 10 million dead".

I don't like calling them (Russia) a turd world shithole. It may be somewhat true, but they have so much in terms of resources. They should be a first world state, based on that alone. It's part of the reason everyone in the modern-day wanted to invade them. Even a Ukrainian patriot I've been following points this out.
It's sad, and tragic.
All of Russian history is so tragic. I guess I should have seen this coming earlier, given historical trends.
I can only pray that some good-hearted Russian makes the decision to end Putin and save his narod and rodinu.
The "glorious counter-attack" never materialized, just as I predicted.
It was never going to happen.
The SAA is fleeing in all directions. They are only holding against the Kurds because the Kurds are not as good fighters as HTS.
It's over. It's over.
Hama has been abandoned. Homs and Damascus are next.
Dominoes are falling...
