Dopamine withdrawal, unironically.

I noticed that the biggest doom waves are right before Iranian strikes

When hexbear heads are deprived of our daily missile strikes on Tel Aviv withdrawal symptoms begin to set in, mainly dooming. Please Khamenei, launch the missiles and give ups our sweet sweet fix.

It’s a Hexbear thing. It grows annoying, but it will pass. Just to come back with the next <<bad thing that just happened that will definitely and inevitably lead to a millenium of Western domination>>

Though I understand some of the pain of the Doomers, things are emotional and heavy, and I have my own personal moments of doom from time to time. But I think a good grounding in historical materialism and realizing that this is a long, very long, revolution toward communism helps in keeping the eye on the long-term without getting too sidetracked. But even then, I get the Doom, but y’all gotta not let the Doom consume y’all.

Western media going overdrive to demotivate resistance as usual working on people who aren’t as aware of it, probably.

The Entity bombed an Iranian news agency while it was live, and Iran hasn’t responded with a major volley in retaliation yet. Coupled with this is the looming threat of US involvement and the appearing lack of action on the part of Russia and China. I can empathize with the doomerism, but I do agree that this isn’t a situation to be doomer about yet.

The Entity is flailing around and begging the US to help attack nuclear sites, but as others have shown these nuclear sites are deeply embedded even if the US used several bunker busters at the same exact point. Plus, Zionist leadership is following Great Man Theory and believes Iran will collapse if they assassinate Khamenei, which is wrong, while settlers are scrambling to leave “Israel” as fast as they can.

RE: First point about China I would hazard to guess that in this area the confidence of any pro-retaliatory hardliners is bolstered by the completion of the China-Iran rail line. I would imagine it’s also part of the reason why talks of closing the strait have even been brought up. Even if global shipping is disrupted, supply lines through the inner continent would still be operational to some capacity allowing both the export of oil and import of the raw material necessary for long term resistance. Furthermore, rail lines are far easier to repair and support even in the case of attempted sabotage or bombardment compared to ships.

I’ve noticed rabbit season/duck season but with the imminent collapse of the Iranian and Israeli states.

because squirrel is right they need to be building bomb (as apparently they have not started that yet even after lebanon) and wildly escalating, instead of doing tit for tat responses and negotiating mega deals.

I suppose it makes sense to hold Iran’s chin to the flame of imperial hegemony if you were convinced that it was a liability. The levels of infiltration by western intelligence would certainly suggest that Iran may be a costly ally to have. But the timelines feel a lot more compressed than with, say, Ukraine.

If absolutely necessary, the war in Ukraine could go on for years longer without a strategic escalation like with a direct US confrontation. Hell, Russia doesnt need to contend with dozens of F-35s and modern F-16s making daily incursions into Moscow. Russia doesnt even need to contest the black sea beyond a few drone boats.

With the Iran Israel stuff there is at least some sort of deadline. When Russia attacked in 2022 they had nukes, Ukraine didn’t, and the US wasnt moving its carrier groups into the black sea. Iran and Israel may be similarly matched on paper but the American element alongside the mentality of the Israeli regime that makes Zelensky look sober, there’s something more present to the threat.

I mean, I think it’s a pretty natural human reaction. People want the resistance to win so badly, and their hearts are so invested in it, I think it can be really difficult to not fall into feelings of despair every once in a while. It is important for people to try and ground themselves and remember that we are following things minute to minute and that one update isn’t going to seal the fate of Iran or Israel in that moment, but that can be tough. Even logging off can be tough, when you care so much about what’s going on around you it’s unlikely you’ll stop thinking about what’s going on. I don’t blame people for being doomer, and I don’t think people who are acting intellectually superior and looking down on people who are kinda panicking are doing much to boost morale here, either. It’s a news thread so maybe some of this stuff shouldn’t be posted but like damn we are all people, we need to give each other a little grace and encouragement, even if we are stupid individualist western leftists and that’s why people doompost or whatever.
