    Really? You love militants who would probably rather kill you than have a coffee with you?

      This new age is very strange. Folks railing against liberal-democratic structures and institutions while praising autocrats and theocratic-fascist terror groups.

        I suspect a lot of people are unhappy and are looking for solutions. They aren’t evaluating their solutions, just latching onto the first things that make them feel like change is possible.

          I think people are looking outside their persona atomization and realizing the world is much worse than the hegemonic narrative would have us believe. As more information becomes available, old ideology declines. The smug comfort of white bros is disturbed when their moral authority is questioned. If they can’t make lazy jokes about having coffee in a genocide, is anything safe anymore?

      I mean, they are picking militants who are opposing genocide. Choosing ‘would rather kill you’ over ‘are killing you’ is logical in a limited context.

      What the hell are you even talking about? Where do you people get the idea that Hezbollah and every other Islamist entity is like ISIS? Do you know a single thing about Lebanon???
