Trashing everything as they go.

@MountainMan Bro I found this podcast recently that I've been digging hard, the guest in the most recent episode is a member of the YPG. Some of the most interesting stuff I've heard in a while. https://soundcloud.com/popularfrontcast/19-on-the-frontline-of-the-islamic-states-last-stand

I’ll be sure to listen tommorow!

Thanks btw for sending me it.

PKK are not terrorists ree

They're communists tho

isn't that the YPG?

Yeah They’re subhumans. But still they aren’t terrorists.

PKK are also commies. Kurdish worker party.

YPG are Kurds in Syria, PKK are Kurds in Turkey

all commies

The Iraqi Kurds are the based ones

PKK are the freedom fighters over there. The actual party in turkey aren’t commies.

Or at least, that's how US media portrays them

Iraqi kurds are the best change my mind <:GWcorbinTopKek:384871333705678868>

I’m surprised an american even knows about kurds @Legiondude

we use them to made cheese

🤔

OH CURDS

HAHAH

i needed a minute

@MountainMan Some of MSM talks about it, but they rarely distinguish between any of the Kurds and just blanket statement that we help the Kurds fight ISIS therefore all Kurds are good

I bounce through alot of media sources throughout the day, so it's a bit more expanded than the typical American

Ah okay

Yeah I cant really say every kurd is great. We’ve a lot of commies. Most of them havent learnt of the past mistakes.

Reminder of red kurdistan

And they havent seen the wonders of capitalism lul so they don’t know any better.

Thats Why the Iraqi kurds and Irani kurds arent commies as often as the Turkish and Syrian kurds.

I remember hearing a YPG American national say in a video somewhere on Youtube that Democratic Confederalism (the socialist political ideology of the YPG) is the best hope for the Kurds in Syria and for peaceful people in the middle east. Even as an anti-socialist I can't say he doesn't have a point, and he may even be right.

At least it will let them establish SOME sort of state, which then might collapse and allow for a stable one to take its place

Honestly I know how it sounds, but I think it isn't unreasonable to say that if the YPG could actually establish any sort of state in Rojava, that they would progressively democratize. But then, that only remains reasonable if they don't stay steeped in terrorism and war, or otherwise have someone like Assad, Erdogan, or Putin who want to interfere with the region.

Really my point is that regardless of what other people would want to do to them, I have faith in the Kurdish people.

You have a point. An outside threat would probably make it work

For a while at least lol

The reason I grant credence to the idea that a more authority or centralized style of government would work is because of the instability of the region. An overly democratic society could very well result in another Iran, where the fluidity of a less order based style of government allowed for the Islamic radicals to easily regain control.

Point being the response to corrupt authority is noble authority.

Yeah there was an argument about Saddam and Qaddafi being assholes that kept the smaller assholes in line
