Yeah, he’s part of the YSP faction that allied itself with Ansarallah after the takeover of Sanaa and Taiz.

Thanks, I forgot giving credit to the 🐐 Rune.

One of those straight into the Burj Khalifa and I’ll get Khamenei and Khomeini tattooed on my forehead.

Comrades, a little breakdown on Pakistan vs India please. Shit appears to be kicking off and I don’t trust either government. All I know is that India is basically fascist with those Hindutva freaks in power, and Pakistan has always been a CIA infested state. Where do we stand from an anti-imperialist standpoint, and who’s benefiting from this uncertainty right now.

Great post by Comrade Anas Al-Qadhi, member of the Yemeni Socialist Party:

“Militias? We socialists were the first to theorize this concept in Yemen, and the first to practice it as a path to liberation and struggle.

Comrade Abdel Fattah Ismail was among the first to develop an ideological vision of the revolutionary militia.

Our National Front, which defeated the British Empire, was not a regular army but a fighting popular militia. The National Front, the Popular Militia, the Revolutionary Resistance, and the Revolutionary Democratic Party—all were armed revolutionary formations born from the people.

And comrade Yahya Abu Asba’ was the commander of the People’s Liberation Army—let’s not forget.

To the US, Britain, Saudi Arabia, these militias were “terrorist” communist heretics who cursed capital, the Gulf rulers, and imperialist circles!

But to the people, they were the spark of revolution and the voice of liberation.

And so are the scruffy Ansar Allah today—those who carry the banner of sovereignty and reject submission.

The name is no slur, no stigma—it is a badge we wear with pride.

It is our revolutionary history. This is the people’s war, waged by the free, left or right.

Under Marx’s banner or Ali’s sword, the battle is the same: dignity and sovereignty.

And you, gentle ones and sons of vipers, have the Americans, Saudis, Emiratis, and British fighting for you!

You beg the “international community” to return you to Sana’a, to restore your state, to build you a liberal paradise on our land!

You are rootless, You fled the land when war broke out, and took refuge in hotels and capitals,

And when the Gulf remittances stop, Your camps collapse into chaos, shouting, and collective breakdown!”

With Catholicism suffering from the death of the Pope and undergoing the whole succession ritual now, let’s talk about a different religious group that will undergo the exact same process probably very soon. Shia Islam works remarkably similar to Catholicism, where the position of Grand Marja occupies a similar standing to the Pope within the faith. To summarise the position of the Grand Marja to anyone that haven’t heard about it, Shia Islam has a lot of small Popes that reach that status after at least 30-40 years of studying theology, the Grand Marja is the biggest Pope out of the them all. A Shia Muslim can follow the rulings of any of the small Popes, but there’s an implicit understanding that everyone respects the big Pope and his word is in the end the most important. The Grand Marja right now is a very old and sick Ayatollah Ali Sistani, who coincidentally is the first ever Shia Grand Marja to meet the Catholic Pope, after a historic meeting in Najaf, Iraq a few years ago.

The discussion within Catholic circles right now is about the conservatism of the next Pope, where Catholics discuss if the next Pope should be woke or not. The discussion around the next Grand Marja is a bit more multifaceted than that even within normie circles that aren’t really into theology. I like Catholicism even as a Muslim dude, but the truth is that Catholicism in Europe is basically dead as a relevant political force, while Shia Islam is alive and still very energetic as a political and societal force. The first point of discussion is “how political should the next Grand Marja be?”. Sistani is remarkable as the first modern Grand Marja with an active website and everything, but at the same time he’s also remarkably media shy and there’s still not even a recording of him actually talking. He’s also very apolitical, he stood silent during the American invasion of Iraq, he offers no political commentary when it comes to the internal politics of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and his only outwardly political position was taken during the ISIS campaign across Iraq in 2014, when he declared lawful jihad against ISIS and asked young Shias to join the fight against ISIS, which later led to the creation of the Iran-aligned Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq.

Now we come to the more woke second discussion point, “should the next Grand Marja be Arab or Persian?”. This is basically the eternal Shia idpol dilemma. Sistani is Iranian from the city of Sistan, but has basically lived his entire life in Iraq. The last important Marja before him, Ayatollah Abulqasim Al Khoei was also Iranian, and we have to go back to the 60s to Muhsin Al Hakim, to find a Grand Marja that is considered Arab. Al Hakim is coincidentally the most political Grand Marja in modern history, with his rulings against Arabism and Communism still being debated today and his sons Abdulaziz Al Hakim and Muhammed Baqir Al Hakim were instrumental in the founding of the current Iraqi state after the American invasion. Maybe the Marja shouldn’t be Arab if the result is such comprador sons, but that’s just my commentary.

We move on to the next discussion point, “should the next Grand Marja be sympathetic to the Sadrists or not?”. A short summary of the Sadrist movement coming now. Big family in Iraq and Lebanon, Musa Al Sadr in Lebanon is the spiritual father of all Shia Lebanese, Muhammed Baqir Al Sadr in Iraq basically creates Shia Islamism in Iraq, he also founds the Dawa Party (biggest Shia Islamic political movement in Iraq during the 80s and later), Muhammed Baqir gets executed by Saddam in the early 80s, Dawa Party moves to Iran, regular Shia proletariat in Iraq starts following his cousin Muhammed Sadiq, Muhammed Sadiq gains popularity as a pretty good preacher who says the anti-Saddam stuff without really saying it, he gets assassinated in the late 90s, the preaching stops after his death but his following moves to his surviving son Muqtada Al Sadr, these Muqtada followers later form the backbone of Iraqi resistance to the Americans, at the same time Sadrists slowly start resembling a cult around the image of the Muhammed Sadiq and Muqtada, big clash between the Iraqi government and Sadrists first in 2008, then it turns bloody again in 2022, but doesn’t escalate. There were already some rumblings that Sistani’s influential son was trying to move certain pieces in order to create an anti-Sadrist camp in 2022, with him reportedly saying that the Sadrists would be considered soon outside the realm of Shiaism. So question remains, does the next Grand Marja exclude Sadrists from the bigger Shia umbrella, or maybe tries to steer them away from the cult and back into normal religion?

I have two or three more points to bring up but my attention span is failing me, so I’ll bring them soon in a different comment inshallah 🙏. No proofreading of course, please notify me if something is completely incomprehensible. If you’ve made this far, congrats!

Well yeah, this shit is so goofy and happens every single year. So basically Muslims throughout history have been following the moon for our lunar calendar by doing moon sighting every month. They see a fresh crescent = new month starts tomorrow, they don’t see a fresh crescent = month starts one extra day later. Well humans figured out a few hundred years ago that one can do mathematical calculations to estimate the state of that crescent. Islamic scholars then disagreed if mathematical calculations and even sightings using telescopes count as valid evidence for the new crescent. Saudis a few years ago decided to fully switch to calculations, but to not upset the more conservative parts of the Islamic world, they just make up random eyesight evidence every single time. It was scientifically impossible for any person in the Arabian peninsula to actually see the crescent on Saturday, but that didn’t stop the Saudis and a few other countries from announcing the end of Ramadan and the start of Eid on Sunday anyway. Most Islamic countries including Egypt, Iraq, Syria and Iran didn’t celebrate Eid on Sunday and waited until today. My wife’s family celebrated today too, so our real gathering had to wait until today lol.

iShowSpeed is absolutely massive, I had no idea he was so big honestly. Over 30m Instagram followers, constant 150k+ viewers on his live streams, 37.5m YouTube subscribers, hell they even made him the fucking mayor of Lima in Peru for an hour when he was there. Outside of like Messi, Ronaldo and a handful other top athletes, he has to be one of the most popular people in the world right now. I wouldn’t be surprised if at least half of zoomers all over the world know who he is. I was looking at his Instagram today and I noticed that my zoomer cousins in Lebanon follow him and they don’t even know any English lol. I don’t think that the Chinese can get a bigger influencer than him right now, but who knows maybe communist tech can bring back Jesus Christ himself in 10 years and make him ride high speed rail and heal Chinese grandmas in Chongqing.

Once again it’s confirmed, voting for Trump was a correct choice by our accelerationist brothers and sisters. The world is really one Iranian missile towards Saudi oil facilities from total economic reset lmao

I met my wife’s zoomer cousins today for Eid and they’re all watching YouTube streams of iShowSpeed touring China. I looked up some of the highlights of those streams and I genuinely believe that shit is more effective for the improvement of China’s image amongst zoomer youth than a thousand articles by academic leftists titled “China’s prosperity boom” or whatever. Zoomers are watching and being impressed by how clean the cities are, the fact that the stream doesn’t lag in a high speed train in a tunnel, by how well-mannered Chinese youth are, and even trivial stuff like knowing about the Great Wall of China for the first time. 🇹🇼🇺🇦-bio creatures are seething in twitter replies about the evil SeeSeePee paying Speed to do these streams, while he’s chilling in the Chinese mountains learning Shaolin kung fu by a nice Chinese dude named Master Liang. The world has truly changed, no amount of leaflets and protests has even a fraction of the effect of one stream of this Speed guy eating spicy noodles while doing backflips in the Forbidden City next to Mao’s mausoleum.

I’ll admit that I didn’t realise that until after I clicked post, but here’s a real image that still inspires rage in me.

Dear comrades, if your protest has any dudes in superhero costumes, meme signs or excessive signs in English if you’re not in an English-speaking country, then I’m truly sorry, because your protest is already doomed. Look at Turkey, their protest thing felt serious for like a day, then it turned into goon material for the r/Europe cucks, and now the English signs and the superheroes have arrived. My estimation now is that Erdoğan will rule for another two decades before Allah elevates him to the seventh heaven. I’m not even praising Erdoğan here, it’s just that his opponents have fatal liberal brainworms, where protests are held not as a disruptive tool to pressure the ruling government, but as an elaborate esoteric pledge of allegiance to western cultural hegemony. Georgia was the same, and it also failed.

Look at my protest dog:

Let’s talk Qatar.

I have been always fascinated by Qatar. Their weird contradictory political position, together with their ruthless ambition makes them a genuinely interesting country to observe. I spent a few weeks touring the Middle East before covid and getting married and settling down. Of all the Gulf states, Qatar was the country that gave me the biggest feeling of “living here wouldn’t be bad you know”. The UAE is of course the posterchild of Gulf states, but everything about it felt artificial, but Qatar is authentic in a way that I can’t describe. The Friday sermon in the Doha mosque that I went to talked in detail about a Muslim’s duty to defend other Muslims, while the UAE mosque talked about a Muslim’s duty to honor his leaders. Qatar is in some way committed to what I can only describe as Islamic populism, which doesn’t put the country as a natural enemy to Iran’s Islamic republicanism.

Their projects are also more successful than expected. They were the only committed Arab nation to toppling Assad by 2024, and succeeded in that. They managed to stabilise Tripoli in Libya and their areas are way more successful and stable than the UAE-backed warlord government in Benghazi. They weathered the storm from Western media and hosted a successful FIFA World Cup. They built a good metro system that doesn’t just serve the Disney Land style straight line developments like the Dubai Metro. They integrated the sons of immigrants to Qatar in a way that the UAE completely failed in doing, which is why the Qatari football team is now filled with Yemenis, Egyptians and Iraqis fighting for the team and winning cups while the UAE plays Brazilian boomers and gets embarrassed. They overcame the dumbass siege that the UAE and Saudi Arabia put on them in 2017 with an incredible resilience that strengthened their national identity. Their media investments has made Al Jazeera the undisputed number one news channel in the Arab World, BeIN Sports the number one sports network in the world, and almost every good Arab journalist has spent some time in Qatar. Their only big L is perhaps losing the battle with the UAE in Egypt when they failed to protect the MB against the military coup in 2013.

I have some strange admiration for them that is completely illogical and contradictory compared to my political beliefs. They’re in tune with the Arab public in a way that the UAE and Saudi could never achieve. They’ve leveraged their relations with Hamas, Israel, the Taliban, Iran and Hezbollah into something that generated some kind of material benefit unlike the UAE’s disgusting endless cucking for American Republican and Israeli interests. In the end, yeah, they’re an American client state with a massive military base in Al Udaid, but their million sins can perhaps be slightly washed away by the fact that a random Sudanese civilian can wear a Sinwar hoodie on their way to a Friday sermon about the slaughter of civilians in Gaza, while watching Al Jazeera’s coverage of Israel’s bombing of South Lebanon.

I’m just rambling here, so I hope it’s at least semi-coherent.

I’m starting to doubt myself when it comes to Hinkle honestly. Everything about him screams the most obvious fed, but surely Ansarallah know something that we don’t know if they’re granting him such access. Who is more correct here, the bear unemployment forum or the most significant anti-imperialist group in the world right now?

He can’t keep getting away with living my dream life

Ya Allah take every western leftist on Twitter and give us one Arab AMLO then one Arab Sheinbaum.

I’m usually yapping about Lebanese government formations and Iraqi shia cults here, but this time I want other nerds to yap here. What’s going on in Zambia or Zimbabwe or Mozambique or Angola or Botswana or Malawi or any African nation that isn’t under French financial strangulation like the ones in West Africa? How are their economies doing? Native corruption or European shenanigans? Are the Chinese cooking anything there? Are they producing anything interesting? Any cultural output that is interesting? How does an average day look in Maputo or Lusaka or Luanda or anywhere? I only hear about these nations whenever their football team is playing in the AFCON, but I literally haven’t read anything interesting about these countries in a long time.

Iconic comrade Leila Khaled has been hospitalized with an Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Sending sincere prayers and good vibes to our heroic comrade.

Well it seems that the Russian gas tunnel operation in Kursk has worked, they’re now geolocated on the edges of Sudzha in the old McDonald’s area lmao.

Here’s how the Kursk bulge looked around 36 hours ago:

Here’s how it looks now:

Two Alawite families that my mom knows from her university days have been killed in Baniyas. She’s in a facebook group with her old classmates and it’s just full of obituaries of old people that have been mercilessly slaughtered by the terrorists. I don’t know what to say, death just surrounds my people from all angles.
