Whoa whoa whoa slow your roll Bad Guy aren’t you idly sitting through Holocaust 2 while they actively dismantle the power structure of the same people who oppress you at home? Where is the gratitude?
Small correction: the people oppressing me at home are Egyptians supported by America. That aside, they’re fighting Holocaust 2 so they’re the good guys in this particular conflict, but we should be under no illusion that the Houthis are good people in general or have any respect for human rights. They’re one of the many regimes I’d like to see fall so we can actually see progress in the region.
If you only care about the imperialists and their compradors when they’re fucking you over personally at home and not when they’re funding 6 different factions in Syria against Assad, you’re just shooting yourself in the foot, that’s very shortsighted. Syria’s Evil Regime has actually fought for Palestine and Lebanon, and Hezbollah has fought for Syria. We can talk about getting rid of the Baathists and the Houthis after the imperialists are gone.
Until then, this is idealism to me. Imperialism is not a tool to depose “dictators”, that leaves shattered states like Libya and Sudan.
If you simply enjoy talking to Syrian refugees to use them as ammunition online, well, of course you want to destroy the Syrian state. That will give you loads of new refugees to talk to!
This modern definition of authoritarianism is purely used as a tool by imperialists. All this talk of repression creating ISIS is a fig leaf over the necklace of ears collecting specops projects that trained and directed them.
