Interesting to note that the teens and young adults who overthrew the government elected their new prime minister on Discord, and the military acknowledged the election and put the winner in place.

Dude I remember back in the cth days that Rojava was like fucking ancom candy. Seemed like every other post had something to do with Rojava.
It's candy cause it's a left-aesthetic that isn't demonized by their media apparatuses (because it's pro-American). The radlibs wanna be left, but they have been legitimately brainwashed by American media and cannot break from it
Oh I get it, I used to stan hard for Rojava back then, too, because it's what we did; I was just pointing out the difference in tone between the sub and lemmy.
Many people came to understand the truth about Syria
And that's exactly the story for me. I came to realize that the "regime" narrative we were being fed in the news was a CIA talking point.
Yeah there were definitely people on the sub back in the day stating the truth, but they were mocked and drowned out by the sea of Bernard Brethren
The ancom voice was by far the loudest voice on the sub. r/moretankiechapo and r/genzedong were where I really started to learn about theory, and eventually started actually reading someone other than Murry Bookchin or Noam Chomsky.
