Evil Arc Type
I find it difficult to listen to many Easterners speak. I’m not sure if they realize it, but their rhetoric often echoes the voices of villains from the past. The way they champion their nationalism and “credentialism” feels excessively cronyistic and heavily scripted. It’s as if they believe they can credentialize you into submission.
Phrases like “the noble and resilient nation of Iran,” “the criminal regime of the United States of America,” “the Supreme National Security Council,” “Seal of the Prophets,” and “the Revolutionary Guard” sound antiquated and theatrical—far removed from the language of a modern, pragmatic world.
This is precisely why direct, often unfiltered “Truths” can feel refreshing to some: they abandon the ceremonial language in favor of blunt assertions.
What’s even more refreshing, though, is when a country backs its words with unique, unmatched capabilities.
The United States possesses what can only be described as modern-day dragons in its B-2 Spirit stealth bombers—aircraft capable of flying 6,000 nautical miles without refueling and remaining virtually invisible to radar. And beneath the oceans, America commands a fleet of ballistic missile submarines—true leviathans of war—capable of remaining submerged for months and launching missiles with global reach.
These are not just symbols—they’re quiet affirmations of power.
The same applies to markets and the technology you use.
The technology to produce precision and accuracy.
