Because they are the good guys! The government and president and CIA and military and media and corpos said that! So what else can do a person from nominally anarchist community than just believe them and stand at the same side as, check notes... Al Qaeda, Netanyahu and Erdogan, true beacons of freedom.

It must be very easy to avoid grappling with real problems you benefit from if they paint Leftist thinking as "US bad."

There are no beacons of freedom in Syria.

Amalgamating Al-Qaeda, IDF, TSK into a coherent side is wild. HTS and SNA may have occupied populated Syria, but given the IDF's air strikes and the continued pressure of TSK directly and through SNA indirectly against SDF, this war seems far from over.

The fall of Assad does not endorse HTS. It simply is.
