I admire the strength and patience you have invested in meticulously substantiating your arguments and addressing the individual points. I know that none of this will be considered on "Anti-Spiegel". The blog operator and the readers there lack the necessary self-distance for this. They are writing in support for the "good side", and seem to think that anything but a black-and-white scheme would confuse people.

The consequences are that Röper growing a core readership that—like the readers of the Saker forum and many others—only ever confirms their perspective and at the same time "inoculates" themselves against any criticism.

But I have the impression that this is not enough for an increasing number of minds. In the current chaos of the global upheavals, many people have lost trust in their politicians and media. Some are now simply turning the tables and cheering on the opposite side. But a good portion of them have really grasped something and are questioning the new certainty as well, which is good. We need blogs like Edward Slavsquat to unsettle our cherished views and force us to think on.

Subjectively, it seems to me that more people online are taking note of this blog (maybe the reader statistics prove that), and even some comments at Röper's pointed out that "Waggaman still does have good arguments that should be addressed".

Röper seems to be unaware of the saying ‘the enemy of my enemy is still a piece of shit’.
