if the US had decided that Japanese neofascist militarism was desirable in the 70’s and laid out an open path for movements like his it would be a different story but it didn’t and he goes out like if those nofap rice-obsessed Italin futurists lived in a world with no Mussolini.

In ten or fifteen years in retrospect the emergence of the Azerbaijan as a heavily armed ethnonationalist petrostate fully ensconced in the western military and security apparatus is going to be the thing IR professionals shake their heads and act performatively regretful about.

and that is the future of immigration officers everywhere, I think: increasing unilateral power over non-citizens, almost no actual internal autonomy to use that power, heavily surveilled, stressed, and worried about job security as previously prestigious jobs become casualized.
