Rojava is very explicitly in favor of multiculturalism and equal rights for all ethnic groups within Syria. The claim that they’ve carried out ethnic cleansing is just propaganda. I think there are probably a lot of instances where the Kurds could’ve handled things in Arab majority areas better, but when you look at their actual policies it becomes clear that they are trying to get all ethnic groups involved with the Autonomous Administration project, they are not trying to create a Kurdish ethnostate.

does arab and assyrian perspectives inform your opinion here? What you say is very fucking clearly against what is being charged by these groups. Whichever official propaganda line or paper policies the kurds carry is completely ridiculous to argue for. We have seen western-backed progressive kurds coast on top of, and ending with the oil profits from, invasions against ba’ath regimes in that region before. a lot of the reason you know what you think you know about kurdistan - west region is because the blood money that has been pumped into media platforms and military industry by their american allies. I wont have western dipshits on chapo discredit assyrians who were the victims of a kurdish-driven genocide hundred years ago when they say those patterns are surfacing again now. we have seen all of this before, it should be obvious, yall… There are feminists with guns fighting terrorists, okay, cool. For a site talking so much about the so called social wing of fascism its funny how this isnt applied to the anglokurdish postimperial enclaves that we keep seeing being built on the backs of brutalized arab states

It’s Going Down podcast interviewed an Assyrian living in Qamishlo, and he claims that the Syrian government stoked ethnic tensions in order to maintain social control and that the Rojava revolution has done a lot to break down ethnic divisions between people:

Your post also ignores the fact that the Kurds themselves have been victims of genocide, forced assimilation, etc.
