evidence that Garak never did a single Bondesque spy thing in his career as an Obsidian Order agent, and instead his duties consisted entirely of spreading disinformation in the form of memes on Cardassian tumblr and other sorts of internet psyops:
1) argues about media as a way of pushing a political agenda and/or provoking a reaction
2) the damage from his cutting remarks will last a lifetime (damaging someone’s state of mind is more important than physically hurting them)
3) his utter bafflement during Our Man Bashir
4) lies easily and often, and never tells the same lie twice
this also means that Garak was only exiled because Tain found Garak’s sideblog where he was sharing his not-state-sanctioned opinions on The Never-Ending Sacrifice and Iloja of Prim’s poetry
His self-insert Iloja of Prim fanfiction.
