Family member posted on FB celebrating displacement of White Helmets volunteers from southern Syria. Two others “liked.” My family was forced to leave Syria and stripped of much of its property when the Assads came to power. One would think we know what dispossession feels like.

You see that disconnect often in diasporas removed in time & space from their birthplaces (also evident in the elderly Greek disapora, as well as in the Russian one.)

This one didn’t leave for too long and didn’t need a detente to go back to Syria. He started by being pissed off at the revolution because it affected his income and gradually swallowed more and more of the regime narrative. Very sickening.

My fmr girlfriend couldn’t stand the fact that the Greco-Russian diaspora who fled for economic reasons less than 25 yrs ago for the most part idly worshipped Putin from afar.

The human ability to turn a blind eye to what they don’t/shouldn’t like and to justify selfishness is astounding.
