This "stability" is in fact organised oppression. It is the moral-social chaos that all upright people should seek to change, with consideration of capacity and consequence. But that's very different to simply legitimising it and giving it an indefinite mandate to continue. /8

Third, with regards to the position of many sincere scholars: Sednaya represents the "stability" you legitimise and/or support. When you contrast the "stability" of a country under a regime like Assad's with the "chaos" of revolution, this is what you’re talking about. /7

The horrors of the Sednaya concentration camp represent what Assad stood for and what the Axis of “Resistance” propped up…but also, despite the rhetoric otherwise, what the US and Europe turned a blind eye too and even supported and utilised (“rendition”) when expedient.

Israeli incursions into and US attacks on Syria show that the rebels are a US/Israeli project!! Because of course, it’s all good when your real enemy has access to significant infrastructure and weapons. But when your agents come to power, you can’t allow them that. Duh!

Tinfoil “anti-imperialists” on 5 DECADES of the Assads doing jack all for the Golan Heights: silence and obfuscation. Same ppl on Jolani 1 DAY after he comes to power: OMG, why hasn’t he said/done anything about Israeli incursions!? Is it ignorance or ideological bigotry?

"How's that revolution looking for you, huh?" - Quietist rhetorical question asked with a snigger, 2015. "It's going great, fam. Almost done cleaning out Damascus." - Activist reply with a smile, 2024. If you know, you know. :)
