@SyrNetworkNews هالصورة مو حقيقية. اكيد هي AI

زيارة شكر ووفاء من الرئيس السيد أحمد الشرع للسيدة أنجيلا ميركل المستشارة الألمانية السابقة هذه الإنسانة العظيمة التي وقفت مع السوريين في محنتهم .. فاستقبلتهم عندما تخلى عنهم الآخرون .. تذكرنا بأخلاق النجاشي عندما استقبل المسلمين المهاجرين من مكة . .

@tkmare16919 @S66637 @QalaatAlMudiq it’s an idiot cycle. an ouroboros of idiots

@S66637 @QalaatAlMudiq No it didn't. An idiot removed the Syrian flag in ayn al Arab so idiots began taking down Kurdish flag in Aleppo and now these idiots are destroying government property.

#Syria: unbelievable scenes from #Hasakah, with the Security HQ (Interior Ministry) vandalized by pro-#SDF crowd and the national flag - again - taken down.

@chitowngirl1982 @yasmin_elsham Will Sharaa eventually give up the presidency and hold a genuinely democratic competitive presidential election? Can you see that happening by 2040?

@yasmin_elsham Sharaa is not giving up the presidency until he feels like it.

Only five years?

@chitowngirl1982 @dickgregory2011 Will the parliamentary elections be truly democratic, and will the parliament have genuine legislative powers equivalent to Western democracies?

@dickgregory2011 Not presidential. Sharaa really seems to enjoy being president. Parliamentary is more likely.

@chitowngirl1982 Who is Bishara?

Why was this horrible person given an interview? It's clear that Bishara and his boys are trying to coup Sharaa and destroy the revolution.

@chitowngirl1982 I still think there will be genuinely democratic elections in 2030. Even if Sharaa doesn’t really want it.

Sharaa isn't going to cede power and make sammiches and coffee for those who snottily think should be in charge because they are secular with proper degrees and this whining about "transitional justice" is ridiculous. They aren't going to do mass executions in the streets.

@MadelaineLucyH Councils are not the UK equivalent of states. The UK equivalent of states are the devolved administrations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Ok, Americans, I am beginning to realise how badly misinformed you are on UK politics so let’s blitz this. 1. There is NO “welfare” in Britain. There are specific allowances and support systems in place for the vulnerable and deprived, but we call this benefits/universal credit. If you asked for the “welfare centre” here no one would know what you meant. It depends massively on where you live and what your situation is. 2. The NHS is not “welfare”. It’s not “what poor people have to do”. The vast majority of people use it. 3. You can’t get benefits in the UK unless you are legally allowed to stay here, are established as unable to work, facing extreme poverty, or are actively looking for work. You’d be given a leaflet on applying for jobs. 4. You can’t get council housing (welfare housing) in the UK unless you have no funds to support yourself in the private market AND you are unable to house yourself on your wages/income. Often they will place you in temporary shared hostel housing , not your own place, especially if you don’t have kids. You don’t just get a “free house”. 5. No, illegal immigrants don’t qualify for anything. You’ll be denied assistance if you don’t have the correct documentation as a refugee, citizen, resident, etc. You can’t just turn up and get money and education. 6. We pay councils (like mini states) tax on top of our normal tax for residency in that area and they are responsible for a LOT of local services and funding decisions. Nothing to do with Keir Starmer. 7. You have councillors and MPs. Both are elected. The first are usually civil servants who know how to do things, the second are more career politicians. Sometimes you get a “angry at the government” idiot candidate as a councillor and you’re fucked because he’s a crook and out for himself. 8. No, the king can’t intervene in politics or change any laws. The last person who did was Edward VII in the 1900s and he was ordered to after an election/parliamentary ruling. He’s basically Melania Trump power wise. 9. No, we don’t all support the royalty. It’s mostly for tourist so and grandmas. No one really talks about them. 10. No, we aren’t overrun by Muslims. London, Birmingham and Bradford are large urban immigrant areas but 60 years ago the same rhetoric was about Irish people and Black Caribbean people. Racists gonna racist.

@kymeriandawn but he’s a threat to devolution I want more devolution *now*.

He's our hail mary. Potentially our last chance at resolving this through a peaceful political means. I know a lot of people will condemn me for supporting such a man; I can live with eating that sin to prevent far greater sin in this land.

Steve is supporting Lowe because he thinks its a path towards ethnoracial cleansing I'm supporting Lowe because I think it's a path away from ethnoracial cleansing We are not the same

@kymeriandawn ok but calling them colonisers is wrong. they’re not an invading army. they’re not carrying weapons.

few know this, but english football was three a side for many many years before they were able to bring in immigrant players

@FlameFromSource @salahscion @qunfuz2 could you argue that everything east of the Euphrates shouldn’t really be part of Syria because it’s Mesopotamia not the Levant?

@salahscion @qunfuz2 We don't recognize the borders drawn by French/British. A Bashuri died in Rojava sure They aren't nationalistic at all. They only use it to recruit but it's a cult that pushes Kurds to fight and die for Apo and Apo only.

“Battles became like drugs. This ideology became part of our blood. When I don’t fight for a long time, I become sick,” says the PKK girl, with her weird Islamophobic stereotyping, and her belief that she's "saved herself from capitalism." newlinesmag.com/reportage/insi…

@Rojwar7288 @celinekasem I think that’s often more to do with where you first logged on to the app than where you are now.

@celinekasem You are in Canada.

😌😎

@MazenEzzi @RamiJarrah @the_amargi I mean, couldn’t you argue that the northeast shouldn’t really be part of Syria because it’s Mesopotamia not the Levant. The northeast was never part of Roman Syria or any other historic region with that name.

My first article with @the_amargi is now out. It examines why Syria’s “unity” is so often treated as a fixed historical truth rather than a political problem. The piece argues that Syria’s centralized state is a relatively recent construction, imposed through mandate and force rather than built on a pluralistic social contract, and shows how this unresolved history shapes today’s crisis, where reunification by force replaces politics and unity becomes an ideological slogan rather than a viable political project. theamargi.com/posts/syrias-u…

@MohamaddAleppo @NoorQamarAnwar @jeromedrev @NanarHawach @CrisisGroup @ForeignAffairs As I said, I think maybe municipal elections can be held today, but not national elections.

@NoorQamarAnwar @amilotech @jeromedrev @NanarHawach @CrisisGroup @ForeignAffairs See in 10 years with the same argument

In Syria, following impressive international successes and the recent reunification of the country, the time has come for a more inclusive political transition to secure and consolidate the gains achieved @NanarHawach @CrisisGroup @ForeignAffairs foreignaffairs.com/syria/trouble-…

@LovejoyActual @Jascol1988 london isn’t england. london has been a french city since 1066

@Jascol1988 why the fuck would you go to london? get out of my mentions, you’ve failed the first test.

i’m all for de-yankification but let’s not pretend the average person on the street feels more in common with the french or whoever 🙃

@KeithWoodsYT @tonyrigatonee oh look, it’s calvinism again

@tonyrigatonee It's not even a pro market policy because employers and workers came to this arrangement themselves. Just state mandated misery as a policy

Young people are abandoning the centre-left and right everywhere and embracing socialists, as in Britain, where the Green Party is the most popular party with young people. These parties are terrible, but they are gaining largely because of headline policies like UBI and wealth taxes that promise some redress for a generation that's objectively been screwed over for Boomer gains. The populist right is largely still beholden to propertied Boomers, offer no alternative vision on economics, and fall back on rhetoric like this that is totally unappealing for everyone but other rightoid Boomers who like to moan about young people's lack of work ethic.

@NoorQamarAnwar @MohamaddAleppo @jeromedrev @NanarHawach @CrisisGroup @ForeignAffairs Yes, it might be possible to have municipal elections sooner, but not national elections.

No way to regulate & ensure results are legit, because nobody even knows population figures. Last census was 22yrs ago. And the war caused severe shifts & changes in population, ofc. There are also tens of thousands of Syrians who dont have passports, ID, birth certificates, proof of residence or citizenship, because they lost it during the war. And, unfortunately, Assad's regime had not digitized anything. Everything was still on paper in folders filed away in countless boxes, some of which were damaged & destroyed during the war too. I know that they want to at least conduct a proper census before holding national elections. Which I think is wise. And they also have to get more embassies opened & operating too, so more Syrians in diaspora can vote too. They might be able to figure out a way to make local elections work while maintaining public confidence in process, though. (??) Still gonna take some time to get there though, I think.

@MohamaddAleppo @jeromedrev @NanarHawach @CrisisGroup @ForeignAffairs I think there should be real democratic elections, but not until 2030.

@jeromedrev @NanarHawach @CrisisGroup @ForeignAffairs Syria needs a political transition which hasn't happened yet. Municipal + Parliamentary elections as a starter.

@almightyschlomo @SymbolStones @kymeriandawn Well, Lowland Scots are. White people from South Scotland are genetically the same as Cumbrians.

@SymbolStones @kymeriandawn do you realize that Scottish people are close to being just as Anglo-Saxon as the English genetically? They didn’t just settle England but they settled alot of Scotland too; including the area around Edinburgh. Are the Scottish also “settler-colonials” now?

Scotland wasn't just an "early" colonial case. It was THE template. 1707 perfected annexation by treaty (not conquest), elite capture by bribery, and expansion of the tax base for imperial use. England learned how to turn annexation into administration in Scotland. The empire that followed ran the same model at scale: Ireland intensified it. India scaled it. The wider empire globalised it. Scotland was the testbed where the imperial operating system was debugged. Everything thereafter runs the same code. Scotland is therefore re-entering a global story that is finally using the correct analytical lens. Decolonising Scotland isn't one case among many. It's the key that exposes the system.

@ArundelXVI @SymbolStones @kymeriandawn Fairies are real, midwit

@SymbolStones @kymeriandawn There's no point arguing history with a silly troon who believes in fairies. None.

@kymeriandawn is this like tiffany aching’s third thoughts

A lack of metacognition is a dangerous thing.
