Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Sorry for posting this here, I don't know a better place. I feel very sick watching the events in my country unveil. Sectarian tensions have been bad for a while, but in a matter of one week, so many of my people have decided that the druze minority is their enemy, and that "liberating" their towns (from their own people!) is their righteous conquest.

I am very saddened about where things have gone. Things just keep getting worse and I see no way out. A small protest in damascus against the violence was attacked by mobs, without any government protection or presence whatsoever (the protest was next to the "parliament" building!). We are living in fascism, where speaking out against sectarian violence is punishable my mob beatings.

I apologize for the rant. I understand probably none of you here is syrian or even middle eastern, so please feel free to ask questions and I will happily answer. At this point this is my only outlet.

I’m from Turkiye and I understand you comrade. It’s so evil that they first kill the nation and now they’re eating its flesh. In Turkiye, working people of Syria are dying in job murders and the survivors are facing racism and discrimination. Even though, It’s a taboo to have a Syrian refugee friend.(I experienced that a lot). Economic is dying so bad but reactionary ppl blaming the Syrian ppl instead bourgeoisie. We always tought to be an anti imperialist country like “We’re no imperialist”, “We fought with imperialism!” sort of propaganda and then invaded the Syria to end “terrorism”. Also, I’m well aware Alevis getting targeted in Syria now. That’s why, we need an new international to unionize. Enough with the mouth service time to take an action to end this bourgeoisie dictatorship in all regions.
