    some people are kinda blinded by funny memes here. i wonder if they actually effect their real world opinions joker-gaming

    the biggest thing people here dont like is the kurds allying with america to the point of joint operations (the usa once provided air support for the sdf/ypg and seemingly extracts oil from them as well), but frankly everything in the middle east is often very dirty and muddled and a giant clusterfuck due to imperialism so having the perfect leftist faction isnt really an option. in a geopolitical sense it also was better for damascus to be in control and send arms to palestinians from iran, but that supply line is now cut and lebanon and palestine are in a very hostile situation now. the SDF did limit operations against the syrian government for the longest time and had a deal with assad which was interesting.
