Long overdue! Although I worry through this project you will end up boosting the engagement of people like Aaron Maté. As you can see, he has thousands of paying subscribers to his Substack, so a major, game-changing blog like yours, which...struggles to generate any subscribers or engagement whatsoever...erm...

Kit, shouldn’t you be working on your latest atrocity-denial piece? Something about how Buchenwald was a false-flag by NATO to discredit Hitler or something?

Fantastic comeback, Neil. There is as you well know as much chance of me publishing a defence of Hitler as there is of you documenting war crimes committed by Ukrainian forces, or indeed offering an honest critique (or "desolation") of anything I have ever written. Which is to say none, of course.

It's going to be amusing to see how badly this is going to fail, how long the whole effort lasts, and how long you're able to deal with your self-important fantasies shattering upon repeated impact with the reality that outside a loud fringe community on Twitter - many members of which are bots and trolls, components of networks that specifically exist to amplify disingenuous and moronic emanations such as those in which you proudly specialise - no one is remotely interested in what you have to say, or takes you seriously.

So thank you if nothing else for the absolutely inevitable laughs to come. You might actually achieve something vaguely positive with your life that way.
