Those "love" birds

For Context, the political analysis on anime/manga "berserk":

  1. Griffith - Kraterocratic Absolute Monarchist with Machiavellianism (with Stratocractic & heavy narcissism)

  2. Guts - Anarcho-Individualist + Nietzschean Struggler (or rugged individualist who affirms life through struggle against causality)

British-Pakistani sheikh living inside the city of Qom in Iran openly admits violence against all Israelis regardless if they're military or not

The name of this person is shaykh muzaffer hyder abbas, their telegram channel (which the person who created this highlight and uploaded it on Twitter watermarked the link onto the video) contains even more of these types of disgusting videos, serves to remind you the end goal of the "Axis of resistance"

The Gosduma is "divided"

Divergence point: 2006-2007

Vladislav Surkov's idea about 2 party system is fully implemented, The Kremlin engineers a clear two party structure:

  1. United Russia - the main "party of power"

  2. A Just Russia (or a merged left leaning bloc) - the official second party, designed as a controlled opposition that can criticize social issues but never challenges the core system or foreign policy.

Smaller parties (Communists, LDPR and etc) are gradually squeezed or forced to merge into one of the two big ones, Elections become contests between these two with high barriers that keep real independents out.

2008-2012

  1. Medvedev becomes president as the "softer" face of United Russia.

  2. A Just Russia gains more seats and is allowed to push mildly progressive social policies (pensions, housing), This gives people a feeling of choice.

  3. Putin remains the real power behind the scenes. The tandem looks smoother because the second party absorbs some public frustration.

2010s

  1. The system works as intended: United Russia stays dominant, but A Just Russia regularly gets 25-35% of the vote.

  2. Protests (like 2011-2012) are weaker because discontented voters have an official channel. Navalny style opposition stays marginalized.

  3. Economic problems after 2014 (Crimea sanctions, oil prices) are debated between the two parties, giving the government more legitimacy.

  4. Putin returns in 2012 and later stays longer, but the two party frame makes succession look more orderly.

2020s

  1. By the time of the Ukraine war, both parties fully support it. The second party criticizes military procurement or social costs but never questions the war itself.

  2. Public opinion is managed better: people who are tired of United Russia can vote for the other party without feeling the system is completely closed.

  3. Power remains highly centralized, The president (or the real decision makers around him) still controls both parties. Real alternation of power never happens.

The outcome:

The system looks "more" democratic and is a bit more stable. Protests are weaker, But the same people stay in control just with a nicer two party label.

Let's talk about the fictional characters in this specific comic on 9/11

The most famous Marvel comic addressing the September 11 attacks is The Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 2) #36, published in December 2001.

When all superheroes put thier things aside and they came to actually care about people who got injured/killed on that day

But here's some controversy that some supervillains came here just to feel some deep "sympathy" for those victims on this day, even tho it doesn't make absolutely sense because they're the villains who's done criminality and war crimes on human lives for all those years before 9/11.....

  1. Kingpin: he's literally a crook and grifter with his Mafia to manipulate things and etc, especially he wanted to be mayor of new York

  2. Dr. Doom: he's just literally minding his own business and doesn't care about human lives and sometimes geopolitics because of his country

  3. Magneto: he's a war criminal on humanity that he's misanthrope for mutant supremacy

  4. Dr. octavius: he's a criminal who's done more damage to other people more than he did hurt on Spiderman, there's literally things that he's done with his different technologies and methods

  5. Juggernaut: he's just doesn't care about humanity and he just cares only for himself for doing things for his job

Idk why writers and artists putting those characters into this when they did all the crimes for many years

I'll give some advice: just don't put some controversial character/s in some very serious things that they done something badly for surroundings. Put only the ACTUAL good characters that they have some care for humanity and etc

Rip for the victims of this attack 🕯️🕯️🕯️
