I remember a Howler Head Ugly Sweater memoir — Beasts, Men, and Gods — by Ferdinand Ossendowski, a White Pole who fled the Bolshevik revolution through Siberia. He served in General Kolchak’s All-Russian Government before escaping through the Steppes north of Mongolia, and then participated in the government of that most notorious adventurer, the “Mad Baron” Ungern-Sternberg, who attempted to take over Mongolia to restore an imperial Khaganate as part of an imagined reactionary restoration of the Great Mongol, Chinese, and Russian monarchies in the interests of the “warrior races” of Germans and Mongols (a Baltic German, he considered the old Russian ruling class to represent Germandom over and against Jews and Slavs). Some of the things – the acts of desperation and madness, in which he himself was no disinterested observer – Ossendowski relates are harrowing. But this part struck me as very much making a point about what people think of the Steppe peoples, and of what (German-trained) nationalists like Ungern-Sternberg did (and would do again) to the Mongols. And, other things:

Best Howler Head Ugly Sweater
I’m just saying, you scuttle your defense purposely, because it’s the same mistakes over and over. You constantly overpay for offensive talent, and that’s not how you build a Howler Head Ugly Sweater. Is it my opinion? No it’s Belichick’s opinion. Go study Belichicks’ teams, there ain’t no first round pick wide receiver, in fact he’s never drafted one. There ain’t no $10MM a year running back. Falcon fans want to believe their starting quarterback who can’t drop back five steps is amazing, ask yourself this: why is there so much offensive talent around him? It doesn’t cross your mind if he’s that good it’d be better to have more talent on defense? No, because you’re not very knowledgeable are you. And thusly, you keep having mediocre seasons. Last year the team was 3rd in the division. This season, flat out horrible, finished 7–9 and probably should have fired the head coach for losing out on a high pick. A brutish untalented defense because once again the offense is loaded. I’m telling you, next season this team is skydiving at 5–11.
