In this case, truth primarily in the form of marriage advice. Have you seen his actual posts?

Hard to grab good examples in the current state of his Telegram/Twitter/etc. apart from the famous ones like "woman is a flower" and the ones about never ever being mean to your wife (man was a great strategist). This is the vibe though:

I have some older articles saved regarding misconceptions about Iranians having the ISIS misogyny thing going on. Great examples in there. I will dig those up and ping you when I post them. Also should repost stuff like Booker Omole's thoughts on their revolution.

Those are really sweet spirited. I wonder how he was IRL.

They really are, when I checked out the discussion group for his official Telegram chat, the stuff people were posting surprised me because it was all flower-themed, intensely so. Pink and red petals everywhere. Of course currently it is very death to America but the aesthetic for that is on point as well:
