Like 1000 Nazis roamed free in Chemnitz just a few days ago, hunting refugees and threatening journalists.

Eventually we might stumble upon the modicum of self-awareness that the refugee crisis was brought on by the endless wars led by NATO countries in the first place

How did NATO lead the Syrian revolution, exactly? Were those 13 year old kids Assad brutally tortured and murdered in Daraa secretly Soros shills?

Daraa Massacre, Iraqi invasions of Iran & Kuwait, Anfal Genocide/Halabja Massacre. NATO caused those? You can certainly argue that when NATO gets involved it often makes things worse, but the idea that the ME would be a peaceful and justly ruled place otherwise is dead wrong.

The idea that Syrians should just sit & take it when their brutal dictatorship starts murdering children for anti-authority graffiti, else they're pawns of the Americans, is more than a bit offensive. A citizenry rising up to demand democracy is not imperialism.

"The regime was right to kill those kids for criticizing Assad and the Sunni citizenry was wrong to protest those murders and ongoing abuses by the Alawite-run dictatorship" also seems like a very strange stance for an anarchist.

This was a strawman and overly harsh on you, I apologize
@EmilyGorcenski. But the amount of overtly Assadist agitprop I see from certain parts of the left (e.g. anyone who still listens to Max Blumenthal) is outright shameful… kind of went off a bit & took it out on you.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

The way to fix the US being too authoritarian isn't to side with straight-up dictatorships like Syria & Russia, but a lot of people jump to "enemy of my enemy" and start apologizing for & enabling abuses. Not that war is the answer, but the atrocities are wrong & not NATO's doing

I’m not going to respond to this other than to say that I’m not defending Assad in any way, but only a portion of the refugees in Europe are Syrian, and the crisis has been building for years, and it is naive to believe that NATO nations’ interference in the ME is a minor factor.

I love in a neighborhood of refugees from Eastern Africa, for instance. There is a large Turkish diaspora. The Chemnitz crisis involved an Iraqi refugee. The southern border crossing issue in Germany involves a lot of North African refugees.
