Honestly, if anyone has the right to schadenfreude Hezbollah it’s Syrians. They’re doing good work in Palestine but holy fuck did they have to support the Syrian government out of all people?
When the alternative is ISIS, the syrian state starts looking not so bad.
I mean there are other groups in Syria so it’s not like there was a lack of options. The option makes sense in terms of pure geopolitics because of the relationship between Iran, Syria and Russia, but that doesn’t mean shit to the Syrians who suffered and continue to under Bashar.
The alternative is the libertarian socialist AANES (Rojava).

Ain’t no women allowed to celebrate in those streets
I am not sure if this is an orientalist/racist comment (no women in streets because it is the Middle East/they are Arabs) or a super based one (it is the stronghold of the more religious/jihadist groups).
There’s not a single woman if you take a look at the video and the photos in the article. The comment is based.
The question isn’t whether there’s women. It’s why there’s no women. The wrong answer is some kind of racist islamophobia. The right answer is recognizing that islamofascism and ziofascism are close allies with virtually the same goals.
Here’s a search of (non-fascist) celebrations in syria. Plenty of women.
That’s a good approach. I tried to search for celebrations in 2024 to make it recent, because those things can change, but I didn’t get enough relevant pictures to decide (most celebrations with obvious women were indoors). There would surely be other ways to find out what is the current women rghts situation in Syria (and it could also differ regionally, I expect). I won’t be able to go down that rabbit hole today, though. If you happen to have more information, be sure to share, I’m genuinely interested.
