The existence of 5 million Syrian refugees worldwide (as opposed to 23 million living in the country) says everything that needs to be said about your point that Assad isn’t actually that bad. If he wasn’t people would go to his territory instead of going to fuckin Lebanon.
One of my best online friends is Egyptian, by the way. He talks about Israel’s geopolitical role keeping Arab countries deindustrialized.
He talks about what worms many Egyptians are about Israel. He talks about those who aren’t often change their tune after being tortured. I talk to him almost every day. So don’t feel written off because you’re Egyptian. Just because they’ve really done a number on Egypt. Samir Amin talks a lot about how its emergence was stymied by imperialists. You live in a comprador state half beaten to death, and you gloat over how many refugees there are from Syria, a country illegally occupied by US coalition. Pig. Pig!
you gloat over how many refugees there are from Syria,
Don’t put words in my mouth. I never gloated about anything.
a country illegally occupied by US coalition
Huh? How does that even make sense? Syria is in a civil war that’s being abused by foreign powers on all side. Nobody is occupying anything. I have literally never heard a Syrian say anything about an occupation; all of them are running from the war. I know US presence in Syria is also fucked up stares at ISIS, but that doesn’t make Assad any less horrible.
Again, as an Egyptian I know as common sense that Assad is one of the worst tyrants of the 21st century (so far; we still have 75 years to go). I’d link sources, but if you believed them we’d never be having this conversation. Goodbye.
Standpoint epistemology is not an argument, babe.
Out of curiosity, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt? Saudi Arabia, even? Do go on.
Egypt, why do you ask?

Have a nice day and feel free to continue our conversation if you return. As you can tell I enjoy arguing. It’s a good brain teaser for us.
Egypt would have been my choice if I only got one guess. You really don’t know why?
