@Swarthy_Bastard We started out this week building on the work of @razaraz, applying the leverage of the historical method to give dimension to a country and revolution that, for the most part, remains flat in the analysis of "experts." For the scholar, tropes are opportunities.

@Swarthy_Bastard @razaraz Iranian-backed-Shiite-militias. The ayatollahs. The mullahs. The notorious Evin prison and that wall, that stupid wall. I can think of no other topic in which tropes pass for analysis and rigor, in which the shorthand for content is *the* content.
