Russia has abandoned Assad. Confirmed.

Hezbollah has abandoned Assad. Confirmed.

Iran is only sending in waves of Iraqi militia who are being slaughtered by A-10s from America. Confirmed.

The SAA can hardly stand. Confirmed.

And yet Iranian/Assad propagandists (who I used to watch) are spinning tall tales about a "glorious successful counteroffensive" in Hama.

With what? They have nothing left. Their allies have abandoned them. Those allies are the only reason they lasted this long.

For the love of God, please stop this. Stop lying. Save your people. Negotiate.

Iranians and Russians want the "stop the war(s)" chants to be in the West/Israel, but not in their own states. When they are in their own states, they beat those people to death.

I see it now. I was lied to. My empathy was taken advantage of. I feel sick.

The reality is that they are crumbling, and people are dying by the hundreds and by the thousands to maintain now easily deboooonked lies.

Fuck Khamenei, the betrayer.

Fuck Putin, the butcher.

They hate their own people.

Fuck them.

I know this is going to sound extremely ironic, almost satirical, but may God help the "FSA" to finish this.

@Aldo2 I'm not quite sure exactly what you're talking about but I glean that you understand Putin is murdering countless people just so that he can get his dick wet basically, because he feels like his dick's not getting wet enough and he wants his dick to get more wet, so he's going to murder as many people as it takes and I think that's pretty fucked up, so good for you for seeing that too. I can't stand all the former freedom speechers, right-wingers, alt-right-y people sucking Putin's dick now, when when I was in the alt-right we fucking hateed Communists, we fucking hated Russia, etc, it's a shame to see what the fuck has happened ever since q fags have sucked off the q dick

@Jazzy_Butts the whole "anti-Western coalition" (minus China, which has always been on the sidelines) is breaking apart.

Their propaganda can no longer "keep it up", either for their own people, or the neutrals.

They are stalling or outright losing on the battlefield(s).

Their soldiers are realizing that what they are fighting for is not for their people or any wider noble "cause". They are just fighting for elite interests. The exact same thing they complain about from the West.

It was the opposite for me. I was chummy with the "alt-right" when they were pro-Russia. At the same time that Richard Spencer was interviewing Dugin haha

Spencer of course is now extremely anti-Russia/Putin. He's kinda seen it all. He can easily call out Russian propaganda because he was swimming in it for so long.

Qanon was literally outed as a CIA/NSA agent long ago, if I remember correctly.

Believe it or not, there was a time when Azov guys were training in military camps along with Russich guys (because "nationalists gotta stick together!"). Now those were wild times.

@Aldo2 @Jazzy_Butts

The #BRICS are still third world shitholes, especially Russia.

@amerika @Jazzy_Butts

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.

@Aldo2 @Jazzy_Butts

To add to this, I don't think Putin is that bad.

I'm pro-Uke simply because I am an actual nationalist instead of the pretend hipster nationalists on the internet, but I think this is a screwup not a career-ender.

The other options in Russia are probably worse, and Putin has kept stability for some time, absent the little Ukraine hiccup.

@amerika @Jazzy_Butts

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".

@Aldo2 @Jazzy_Butts

In terms of history, ten million people getting snuffed is a really big deal for a decade then becomes a footnote.

The challenge to nationalism is having a positive goal. The variant that arose during the Napoleonic era was in response to liberalism rising and international political drama, but codified a feeling that was innate to people for millennia that is mentioned in older literature.

@amerika @Jazzy_Butts

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.

@Aldo2 @Jazzy_Butts

As far as nationalism goes, it was always ethnic, at least in the arts and philosophy as well as early politics.

The Napoleons liberalized that into nation-state patriotism, and Hitler tried to dial it back to ethnic-nationalism, where Murkan neo-Nazis tried to make it into racial nationalism.

@amerika @Jazzy_Butts

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".

@Aldo2 @Jazzy_Butts

Not really. Nationalism has its roots in tribe identity and is ancient.

Hitler attempted to make a modern state out of an ancient idea, and not surprisingly failed.

Russia on the other hand has failed at everything since its inception, owing to (1) peasant origins and (2) miscegenation.

@amerika @Jazzy_Butts

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".

@Aldo2 @Jazzy_Butts

Moving the goalposts to "pure" misses the point.

We have unbroken Western Europeans in the West and heavy trace admixture outside of it.

Even more, absent origins, each ethnic group has a center and commonality and preserving this preserves culture.

@amerika @Jazzy_Butts

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".
