"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

It's so frustrating and delusional. They could have stayed out of it but their plans to form a greater Kurdistan are too alluring to the fascists among them.
In Syria, Bashar al-Assad was deliberately letting the Kurds be, even when they were occupying Syria's oil fields. As soon as US-backed Al-Jolani came in, he starts cutting all the Kurds' heads off.
I don't know at what point the Kurds believe they will have their own state. Maybe once all the countries that potential Kurdistan spans across are ruled by different versions of al-Jolani, and Kurds are getting their heads chopped off everywhere, then they can form the Kurdistan they want in heaven.
At this point I kind of understand why Erdogan finds Kurds so annoying.
I'll look into Al-Jolani, I appreciate the information a lot.
I know more about Turkey's history and they've been oppressing all their minorities, including Kurds, way before Erdogan was around. It definitely doesn't help when the main minority in your country can be used as an US asset though.
Kurds went from Marxist revolutionaries to ISIS lite. This is what happens when a persecuted group abandons its principled ideological line against imperialism.
I mean did something happen that made them do that? Usually it's the west killing all the people who read theory
Yes, exactly that.
