    The problem with stories like these - and most world politics - is, there are no good guys.

    Some people just can’t wrap their minds around that and end up inhaling copium.

      I was gonna say… is the new government better than Assad? Maybe… it’s not super clear to me yet.

        Yeah it is not clear yet. We thought it would go better for Tunesia after the Arab Spring until it turned into another dictatorship.

        It doesn’t seem to be dropping barrel bombs on their own civilians so that’s a half-decent start at least.

    Also “allied with Israel”? Israel is literally bombing Syria right now. But I guess that wouldn’t fit the narrative.

    Also the great “news source” of TASS. No wonder they end up like this.

    At least on this topic, you can pretty reliably identify teenagers on the Internet because they think they are the first generation to be critical of Israel, and nobody in the west was talking about Israeli apartheid before 2024.

    Funny that they’re bringing up Palestine in that same comment, because they seem to understand nuance when it comes to Hamas, but never when it comes to Syria or Ukraine.

    https://edition.cnn.com/search?q=genocide

    Plenty of coverage of the Gaza genocide. And others. https://edition.cnn.com/search?q=gaza+genocide if you want to be more focused.

    And that’s without even going to Aljazeera. They’re probably technically not “western media” but are a TV channel available on every TV in the west afaik and obviously broadcast in English.

    Anti-communism white washes all terrorism.

      By anti-communism, can you clarify what you mean?

          No one said ISIS is fine. And do you seriously think tankies are communists?

            I’m not an official voice about these kinds of things.

              So are you trolling or what?

Your community for poking fun at the bullshit tankies say and spread.

Rules:

  1. No tankie talking points. That includes the classics (denial of genocide of Uyghurs, denial of ML dictator’s crimes, campism, calling everyone you disagree with a liberal or CIA etc.) and general shit opinions (general genocide denial, antisemitism, racism, queerphobia, etc.)

  2. MLs are not communists. They never actually worked towards it and there are some who don’t even define it as a stateless, classless, egalitarian society. So MLs shouldn’t be called communists in the first place. Calling hating MLs anticommunism will probably expose you as either a tankie or a right winger, both of which aren’t welcome here.

  3. Right-wingers, fash, nazis, nazbols etc. are not welcome! Right wing talking points (such as anti-woke, anti-queer, speaking favorably of far right figures, being anti-antifa etc.) will get you banned pretty quickly.

  4. Please respect people’s pronouns. Deliberately misgendering people repeatedly is going to lead you to have issues with the mods. Defending misgendering will get you banned.

  5. No brigading. People caught brigading in this comm will be banned. Also we oppose brigading in other comms. Keep the discussions and stuff within the comm.

  6. On near-east topics: Nakba is an established fact. The (ongoing) Palestinian genocide is a fact. Israel commits crimes against Palestinians. No anti-Arab (such as Palestinians and Druze) sentiments allowed (it falls under racism anyways). In regards to Israel, do not dehumanize civilians. Saying shit like “there are no civilians in Israel/Palestine” will get you permabanned.

  7. Be kind to one another. Try to deescalate any fights.

Content guidance:

Anti-ML memes, screenshots and humor are allowed.

For general discussion threads please ask.

If there is demand, we can do a open discussion thread once a month. But it will get locked if in escalates into a dumpster fire.
