    One of the favorites of astroturfing. “As a member of X group so that you view my take as legitimate and representative even though I have provided no evidence I am even loosely related to said group, here is my take that materially undermines said group and throws it under the bus. Also, pay no attention to the casual implication that the group I allegedly belong to is a monolith I can whimsically speak for, which is the way someone who doesn’t respect the group would talk about it.”

      Don’t forget that the group they speak for is quantumally entangled to an extent that speak for all of them globally, regardless of distance. We can observe this fascinating phenomenon with Uyghurs overseas who have never lived in China but are 100% confident about a genocide happening, Chinese diaspora who are absolutely positive that everyone in China secretly hates the government, or overseas Russians desperate for liberal validation.

      Ethnically Iranian? Absolutely the authority on all iranian issues worldwide!
