Rojava the polity is pretty ok with LGBT people (there was even a openly LGBT foreign anarchist militia fighting for them) but there are are a lot of very conservative Arabs in the territory whose allegiance they have to maintain. There are multiple cities that are hotbeds of isis and assadist sympathy that are also strategically important border areas against the regime, so they're forced to not clamp down as hard as they want to on them out of fear of being seen as occupiers enforcing the secular progressivism they do everywhere else.

We have been for like 8 years now, they pretty openly said they're libertarian socialists since the beginning but uncle sam wanted those oil fields they're sitting on and all the other groups the CIA was wasting money on were just becoming road bandits and warlords and selling half the guns they got to isis and shooting at each other more than the Assad regime. The situation was actually so bad that the CIA funded groups were shooting at Rojava multiple times while it was being funded and trained by the US Army and it was causing public department friction back home, the army had to keep asking the cia in official statements to just let them take over regional operations, which they only mostly did, iirc they still funded one or two warlords out of spite. Idk why the CIA got so sloppy with its vetting tho. Literally none of the 20 something groups they spent tens of millions on did anything useful while the first group the army picks out becomes a steadfast regional asset.

@adrianalicea6704 It was a loose confederacy of pirate fleets that included Henry Jennings, Benjamin Hornigald, along with Blackbeard as its nominal leaders. While Blackbeard was definitely a leading figure, there really wasn't any central authority, and these main three pirate captains were constantly fighting each other over how to sustain an economy based on hijacking ships from imperial powers. It was effectively anarchist in the sense that power was very dispersed, and any laws or regulations were manifested as basic rules that these pirate captains and their crews had a general consensus on. Honestly, it sounds more like 18th century CHAZ/CHOP than Rojava.

Ok so being Queer isn't outright criminalized in Rojava like in Assad controlled areas of Syria but that doesn't mean they are that accepting and they have a long way to go. There aren't any anti discrimination laws and treatment and perception of Queer fighters is mixed. The group that posted the "These F... kill facists" pic disbanded in 2018. And the SDF (The actual military arm of Rojava) denied working with them originally(they later sorta backtracked privately) . The group was a collective of foreign lefty militias which while were based shouldn't be taken as a broad depiction of the acceptance of Queer people in Ro java.

They are pretty cool for what I've seen as far as not having corrupted themselves unlike literally any other Mexican social movement to have ever existed, however thats why they are trully doomed. The hard truth about México Is that all paramilitares exist because the central government allows them to, the state Is super strong actually and just cannot be dented by any Millitia that currently exists, this was true in the 90's when the zapatistas Rose up and ls way More true today. Zapatistas fighting capacity was emmasculated trough spec op's operations soon after the rebelion and their social base has been dwindling as the country has mostly healed from the shock therapy and Is to enter the top 10 economies in the following decade or so. Currently there's no social movement that could lead to anything in the country and If It were to collapse there wouldnt be any red rising, It would just devolve into neofeudal hyper capitalist kingdoms

I'm going to say something not popular here: I'm not the most comfortable uncritically "handing it to" the Kurdish people. They participated in the Assyrian genocide in exchange for a promise of land from the Ottomans that they never delivered on. Now, if they were to acknowledge this, apologize, and treat Assyrians as equals and recognize their ethnicity, I would be fine with moving forward. But they do not. The Kurds call Assyrians "Christian Kurds" (that's part of what the kurdification is about), which the Assyrians reject, and deny them any claim to their ancestral lands. The Kurds have work to do if we want to uncritically celebrate them. But yes, they are pretty good compared to near all groups in the region. Of course though, I do have to note, if things shook out slightly differently, we might be talking about the Kurdish genocide by the Assyrians done in exchange for a promise of land from Russia/Britain.

[@Roman.Rêbwar]

The kurdistan regional government in iraq which has its own parliament apologized for the attrocities against them since it's creation in 91,assyrians are an official minority in krg and have their own education system,they have 5 members in parliment out of 110, and in rohava they have their own military wing,the they if not for sdf and rojava assyrians literally had no place but to just die between sunni jihaddis and shite militias and syrian regime.

@@Roman.Rêbwar Oh, I do understand that there have been overtures. It's just that, the way I've understood them to be couched was "you will join us and become Christian Kurds", which is...

It's just... Historically, it is fraught and eyes need to be kept on it.
