  • Yeah they basically exist because the nation has no army. You’ll find the occasional nutjob (Mossad? never know) insisting the Lebanese army is stronger but this is generally framed through their collaboration with the IDF to crush Hezbollah. Even if the Lebanese army was completely on board with that, it’s obviously insane, but I have also heard that from Lebanese people, that the army is not even consistently like that & many of them are too sympathetic to Hezbollah to ever actually fight them. Probably depends on the region & I’d imagine the army is trying to keep track of that “problem” internally & taking it into account when deploying it to suppress pro-Hezbollah protestors


  • Hezbollah parliament members have declared that this new agreement renders the internationally-recognized government illegitimate. This is theoretically sound, too. I don’t think any compradors in recent memory (ever?? I don’t want to make sweeping statements that miss some horrifying Cold War event that slipped by me tho) have gone this far to subvert the sovereignty of their nation.

    As far as military control, I believe Hezbollah forces are strongest in the south. I’d ask Lebanese journalists on Xitter. They’re chatty


  • Best sellers are mostly a self-reinforcing process. Money decides who gets educated, academia decides whose ideas get represented in education, publication decides which of those works become popular. If something is not promoted it will not be sold. They also have separate best-seller lists, so it’s self-aggrandizing pageantry as well.

    What country are we talking about, by the way? I mostly see “homestyle” not “homemade” in marketing.

    New York Times bestsellers will invariably be awful. Find personalities who are drawn to a deeper art scene, this will teleport you 25 years into the future withput their disadvantage of being jaded. Trust me, they’re looking to offload it to people who still have feelings left
