new reality of being murdered by Erdogan after Trumps says do it. Nice that you use this in this way. The people that put theirselves on the front line between ISIS and us, will now be sacrificed.

you mean the Syrian Arab Army? or NATO's YPG? if the latter, the best of them were caught in the contradiction between their patrons and the sponsors of ISIS--who happened to be the same people. the contradiction was their own. now the smart ones will make their peace with Syria.

what do you mean by NATO's YPG? The YPG existed a long time before the US came along. the US classes them as terrorists (I think still does) because of their anarchist setup. I warned Greaber that getting in bed with the US will not go well, but accepted the temporary alliance.

warned me? like I'm an idiot and don't know the US isn't going to come through in the end for anti-state leftists? God people are so arrogant. No one imagined it was a permanent alliance & I certainly never suggested it would be. I have dozens of tweets saying this.

at the time I had about 20 sectarian dogmatists a day calling me a tool of capitalist imperialism; one is only human, after a dozen times giving people the benefit of the doubt & discovering they're just there to try to catch you in something they condemn, you get impatient

you have my sympathy. I personally cant think of many people that I don't know personally that I would trust more. (Im not usually this sycophantic)

i admire Mr Graeber's book on Debt but can't extend sympathy since he has blocked me, as he has @ainiladra in Palestine and others with skin in the game. the inevitable contradictions of an academic marxist engaged in fashionable dissent--no (fore)skin.
