Santiago Alba Rico — The role and bias of this geopolitical obsession becomes very clear as soon as one compares the different attitudes toward Palestine and Syria.
I became much more critical of western “leftists” after seeing all the word salad about “NATO made the russians do it” following Feb 22 and the general support for russian occupation of Ukrainian territories.
To be honest, I don’t understand their fascination with Assad. I can sort of see some logic for their support of russian genocidal imperialism (in a twisted, hypocritical way). But Assadist western leftists never made any sense at all.
P.S. This is of course not all western leftists. There are those who are consistent regarding Syria, Palestine and Ukraine.
