The dishonesty everywhere is running peak levels as the genocide is revealed - the cop out of from Amreekans that the nasty Joo is behind everything bad in the land of the pure has failed - Israel is an attack dog of Transatlanticism - only peasants disagree
If people dont understand why the Empire has used Israel it means they fundamentally don't get how power works, what's at stake and even more fundamentally they have no idea how the world works today
More annoying than neo-con boomers like Bolton are the "dissidents" who are basically trying to clean their hands off Gaza as if the US is Switzerland minding its business and this is an irrelevant spat in the desert and not epoch-defining clash to determine US regional presence
No Semites dragged the US anywhere, the US arrived like a virus to these lands and it needs eradication starting with its soldiers, bases and fleets that have had a multi-decade presence in the region and will continue to do so long after even if Israel falls
The only interest or "ally" to have in the US are the ones that can spark mass alienation and skepticism of the fundamental building blocks and layers of American power - starting with the integrity of the electoral process - that's only the start though
Dialogue or genuine engagement can only occur with Post-Imperial forms of American identity yet to even be thought (unthought as of now)- there is a glimpse of what does looks like philosophically pre-World War American literature that produced genuine world-enhancing culture
Important to keep blackpilling Muslims on US power - but not in the obvious you can see it coming from a mile away Islamism - there are gifts in the next few months that will yield themselves that every dying power gives up in the latter part of its lifespan
RW r-tards are being either genuinely obtuse or just don't know that American vassalage works on the premise it can defend loyal provinces in the periphery with a security blanket - that along with other illusions like the dollar etc form the basis of power.
You lose Ukraine, Taiwan, Israel or South Korea - the illusion shatters and you are looking at a painful contraction of wealth and prosoerity extending generations. There is no political movement in the States that has a plan for what to do after Empire, and they won't either
The UK still...after decades doesn't have a political movement that considers what to do after Empire - this isn't exceptional to Anglos - all great powers in history enter in a state of rigor mortis after Imperial decline & only prophetic-type great men can chart a course ahead
Look at the Turks, the Persians, the Arabs etc - once a people are exhausted after the excesses of the Imperial lifecycle they are forever changed, burdened with nostalgic grief over what once was and not what could be after Empire

No one can know anything - the same people who got Russia/Ukraine wrong, Sino-American relations wrong will also get the Iran-Israel dynamic wrong too - the age of unipolar nothing ever happens is well and truly over now
The heuristic of nothing ever happens was contingent on unassailable American power - that time has passed - now things are difficult to read - they have been for a few years now
Affluenza Imperialists have been boring us with nothing ever happens takes since COVID - but a lot has happened, not everyone is sleepwalking in a zombie state

Qutb as a literary force is necessary reading for Muslims. His larger disocurse on Sovereignty however is mired in second or third order concerns about legislation and the symbolic importance of Sharia
It is what at times makes him difficult to read or follow when trying to put his scholarship in conversation with practical issues of statecraft - there are large unfounded assumptions about a sacred history of statecraft that sets one up for failure
Sovereignty is key - fundamental foundations of it however are financial, industrial and technological. One can scarcely plot an independent course if one is dependent on infrastructure produced by those who have hostility to your own sense of self and identity

The problem with Zaytuna or CMC isn't straight-forward "they are selling out" although tempting to reach for such a conclusion. Muslim academic institutions have a role to play - I think more than condemnation its about educating the Muslim masses about the hostile "Other"
What I mean is that these institutes and similar liberal arts intiatives have a persistent weak spot - failing to identify clearly the enemies of Muslim aspiration and breaking down their ideologies so the masses are aware. Hindutva, strains of technocratic Zionism etc
Studying these phenomena - how they emerged, how they evolve and what their future trajectory may look like is important for the next generation of Muslim "thought leaders". It equips the community to better practise Al-Wala' wal-Bara'.

BRICS going for the jugular with commodities, natural resources and energy - getting Iran, Saudi and the UAE aligned in the same bloc was something unable to be done by the Americans. BRICS have an effective lithium monopoly and all critical energy transition metals
The only ones down on BRICS are the ones who are still viewing the world through arrangements of debt and hyper-financialisation, naively think this is sustainable for decades to come
This is just one phase of expansion in a long game that will build on the themes of energy and resource capture - will take decades to bring to fruition. I don't think this is decolonial etc - it's an attempt to reforge the premise of global order from debt to physical assets

We need contradiction to return to Islamic expression. Parallel and contradictory strands of the Islamic Secular diverging and clashing. Iqballian Cypherpunk Ethic may be what is required for the individual soul
But my research and reading into the Islamicate Cybernetic unfolding in the GCC leads me to believe on a larger macrolevel that a Muslim mastery of cybernetics must be considered inevitable - there is no other option
This is in keeping with what happened in the past - jursists, sages etc made their peace with Persianate conceptions of kingship as a matter of pragmatism and yet alongside this radical and subversive genres of piety and expressions of God's Friends also existed and ran alongside

This is economic illiteracy posing as critique
For e.g. see the interesting evolution and overlap between British Imperial and Mughal fiscal policy researchgate.net/publication/28…
There is also of course The Imperial Monetary System of Mughal India which remains important despite its age - easy to detect prototypical features of early 19th century pre-money manager capitalism here
