Excellent breakdown. However, I'd like to point out one thing. Much like Vladimir Putin's Invasion, they catastrophically overplayed their hand.

They needed to keep it on the down-low for another 5-10 years, break people down further, spread unnoticed longer. But they didn't, and now their tricks are becoming much more widely noticed and remarked on. A whole generation of old /b/astards has additionally grown up, long since forgotten the cancerous death of their old spot, but never actually forgotten the skills they acquired there. We fucking wrote most of their playbook, the dumbshits.

The real opponent they need to take down? I think the recent spate of attacks demonstrates exactly who that really is, and it's not hard to guess why. We're not such an ignorant bunch though, and we're getting fucking tired of finding new platforms. Fucking bring it.
