Disclaimer: I consider anyone who genuinely feels sorry for a "kid" (= 30 y.o. war propagandist and a war crimes advocate) while the Ukrainian residential areas have been under bombing and shelling for months to be an absolute disgrace

That's well understandable though. An interesting thing about the pornocephals is that you could show them a young woman and they gonna support whatever agenda/ideology. Propagandists use this weapon so often cuz it works, that's it. Wankers gonna wank

Pornocephalia levels in the internet are truly astonishing. Perhaps, I underestimated how common this diagnosis is, while Putin got it correctly. That's why he chose a young woman rather than her old grey dad as a sacrifice lamb. It absolutely works, apparently

I find emotional reaction to the last🧵 interesting. Hundreds of people try to outscream each other about how impossible would be for a father to kill his child or even consent to such a murder

Well, criminal statistics says otherwise. It's very common. So why are you screaming?

Emotional denial "It's impossible!" of something that is not only possible, but indeed very common suggests that:

1. You are defending. And you are not defending Dugin. You are defending the positive image of *yourself*
2. You know perfectly well there is a reason to defend

If the outraged audience did *really* think that the described scenario is ridiculous, they would just pass by. Your aggressive reaction suggests you do not find it ridiculous after all. You find it very plausible. And that's exactly why you are screaming

Darya Dugina's assassination was almost certainly organised by the Russian FSB. Assuming this is true, then:

1. Order must've been explicitly/implicitly given by Putin
2. It was Darya, not Alexander who was the target
3. Alexander knew it ofc. He's just making show for a public

If Alexander was notified about the impending assassination of his daughter Darya, that explains the strangeness with changing cars. Alexander took *her* car, while she took his one. Why?

Most probably the plan was to present Alexander Dugin as the real target of assassination

That had an additional benefit. If we make the world believe that assassins targeted Alexander, but got Darya, the entire operation looks clumsy. It looks as if it is done by someone who does not have full control over the situation and over the territory. Not by Russians

On Darya Dugina's death

Darya was an ambitious young woman. She leveraged her father's *international* brand to build herself a network in Russia. She was indeed smarter than an average golden kid and viewed herself as a potential national leader

In the last months she would not shut up about bad Russian military performance. She constantly criticised Shoygu (privately) and insisted that if *she* was a minister of defence, it'd be alright. For some reason, she was trying to pitch herself a a minister of defense, Idk why

Becoming a minister of defence was a new topic that emerged only recently. Previously to that, she was obsessed with Le Pen. She constantly talked about how great, amazing and misunderstood Marine Le Pen is, boasted how well she knew her and clearly viewed Le Pen as a role model

Many argue that only few Russians travel to Europe. Fair enough. But those in power not only travel, they're relocating. The family breadwinner must stay, but he'll send kids abroad. Zolotov commands the Russian National Guard. His grandson Artem studies in Cranleigh School, UK

Zheleznyak is one of the United Russia party leaders. His daughter Anastasia McClymont. She studied in London, worked at the BBC, married her Scottish co-worker and changed her surname from Zheleznyak to McClymont

Dmitry Peskov is the Putin's spokesman. His daughter Yelizaveta has long lived in France. She had an internship in the European Parliament, then worked in Louis Vuitton

Moscow non-ruling elites may declare themselves "Putinist" or "anti-Putinist". But they are all closely tied with friendship, colleagueship, kinship. More importantly, they share a strong corporate interest in guarding their privilege, much like the non-ruling nobility did

When you think about the non-ruling elites of today, think about the non-ruling nobility of the early modern period. Many French noblemen had zero saying in how the kingdom was governed. Still, they enjoyed the ultra privileged position, were aware of it and wanted to guard it

Darya Dugina belonged to the non-ruling nobility of Moscow and the said nobility viewed her as one of their own. Her death terrified them. Nobility is not much interested in sufferings of peasants, but suffering of another noble - that what is truly appalling
