Debunking Israeli wartime propaganda one tweet at a time.

@Miyhnea (For the purposes of this discussion, running here solely means regime survival)

@Miyhnea Hence the scare quotes in my post. It's "running" in the sense that its ruling class are all alive and haven't been couped nor killed, unlike the predecessing MB.

From Sisi and co's PoV, it's running alright, isn't it?

Doesn't that make the case for repression being effective?

@chitowngirl1982 @Miyhnea Not just any Daddy, but Nasserite Daddy. The archetype of the old guard.

But it's really the part after that that really matters here. Rising to become top dog in a dog-eat-dog world, bounty on head, etc ... none of that compares to cushy academia or peaceful party politics.

@nickisafraud @Miyhnea Pretty much, though the infiniteness is definitely up to argument right now, as Saudi oil deposits will eventually run out.

(Ironically to MBS ... exactly as prophesized by the Hadith, just like how Arabs building skyscrapers was lol)

@alwasllover1 @MT77W @nokia @moctsyria @amhaykal لا أقصد الانحياز له في كل شيء أكيد، رأينا التجربة المريرة
أقصد فقط الصين وفقط في الجانب التقني. على الأقل هكذا تكسب قليلا من السيادة.
أو تستخدم الطرفين للضغط على بعضهما بعضا لكسب التنازلات وتحقيق السيادة (مش عاجبك باخذ منهم، أنا مش مرتهن لك)

@chitowngirl1982 @kotasyko @nroiiiaaa It's ironic how what came after literally did worse on every single one of these three metrics, yet still perseveres through the use of extreme bruteforce lol.

It's as bad as pre-2011 Assads there, if not even worse.

[🇵🇸 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚛𝚞𝚋𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚝𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚏𝚢 @Thed3bunk3r]

@chitowngirl1982 @kotasyko @nroiiiaaa Pretty much!

Extremism is the only natural outlet when every single legitimate and semi-legitimate outlet for venting pent-up steam against authority is blocked.

[🇵🇸 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚛𝚞𝚋𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚝𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚏𝚢 @Thed3bunk3r]

@chitowngirl1982 @kotasyko @nroiiiaaa Which then set the stage for Sisi to swoop in as the "hero" who saved Egypt from the "evil" MB.

Of course, Sisi reined in his media dogs afterwards, and now, not a whisper appears on Egyptian TV and media without prior copy approval by the Egyptian intelligence services.

[🇵🇸 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚛𝚞𝚋𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚝𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚏𝚢 @Thed3bunk3r]

@chitowngirl1982 @kotasyko @nroiiiaaa Entirely agreed but with one minor note: the "latter day MB" (Morsi's rule) actually embraced democracy, to their ultimate detriment. Morsi naively let every single voice be heard without having a media strategy. He ended up getting dogpiled on by the (then) opposition media.

@SyrianSalman @amhaykal @moctsyria هون الفكرة، أنه ليش أصلا التبعية لأمريكا؟ أنا حسيت أنه سياسة الشرع هي الوقوف على مسافة واحدة من الجميع واللي بده ييجي حياه الله

أما سياسة عبدالسلام هيكل فيبدو أنها شو ما فيه عند أمريكا خذ منه
هيك اللي بده يبني سيادة؟ 😱

[🇵🇸 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚛𝚞𝚋𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚝𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚏𝚢 @Thed3bunk3r]

@chitowngirl1982 @nroiiiaaa @kotasyko I legit can't wait for this absolute banger to drop lol

Remember when I said back in January that I would kill to hear a podcast with him on? 😆

[🇵🇸 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚛𝚞𝚋𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚝𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚏𝚢 @Thed3bunk3r]

@alwasllover1 @MT77W @nokia @moctsyria @amhaykal مشكلتها أنها في المعسكر الغربي. مش لو اتجهوا للمعسكر الشرقي في هذه كان أفضل؟
بحس عبدالسلام هيكل شغال خارج إطار عمل الشرع اللي هو الوقوف مسافة واحدة من الجميع

@ASSASSIN9992011 @MT77W @nokia @moctsyria @amhaykal يخوي هاي مش نوكيا اللي ببالك
هاي الشركة الأم للشركة التي كانت تصنع التلفونات قديما
هذه من أقوى الشركات عالميا في مجالها

@MNOUR36 @amhaykal @moctsyria فاهم موقفك لكن طز في المذكورين كلهم. لم لا يبقوا خارج السوق حتى يتم إنشاء بديل محلي لكل المذكورين كما فعلت الصين التي نصبت الـGreat Firewall of China حتى تبقي هؤلاء خارجا، فتسبب ذلك لا إراديا بظهور بدائل محلية منافسة لهذه كلها وبالتالي صارت الصين قوة تقنية؟
