just so you know, I used bookmarks to HTML, and then find and replace to generate all those links. I didn't copy them all by hand.

I hope he gets shot in the dick

...

that second pic makes Abdullah look like hes just seen someone eat icecream that just fell on the ground.

mmm, ice cream in Kurdistan

i…i love this man.

why is the left so unradical?

kys armchair faggot

pirate flag pls. You should know by now that those claims are entirely baseless

I am dissapoint

(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

Pirate flag pls you're killing me

dont eat the leftcom propoganda

If I only speak English how easy would it be to go and survive there?

you can pick up a language pretty fast if you really have to. bigger question is, are you strong enough and tough enough?

they'll train you and teach you kurdish, and they'll give you a plain ticket home once your service time is up (most of the time at least). The conditions are definitely very spartan though.

Well their are many English speaker doing humanitarian work and fighting on the front. If you want to go, knowing a few things in Kurdish would defiantly help, but you can probably get by with just English.

This user brings up a good point. You don't have to go there just to fight, there's volunteer work you can do there to.

Well it more difficult to learn Kurdish for a native English speaker due to the structure of the language. See video as to why youtube.com/watch?v=UFbUp8916_o

Judging a book by it's cover I would say I am tougher than the man in OP's pic.

What kind? I'm not averse to fighting, but would be willing to help in any way.

In 6 months when hillary goes berserk and invades syria all of the blood shed for rojava will be lost

The only way to stop capitalists and islamofascists is to strike them at their heart

Everything, literally everything. You got a skill of anykind?

I'll say that I'm skeptical of Rojava as any sort of great breakaway state that will kick off the age of 21st century socialist revolutions, but the intent of their movement is largely good.

The thing is that its current goals are largely in line with classical ideas of anti-imperialism: liberating a subject people from direct exploitation by other groups. The Kurds have been getting shafted in almost every state they've found themselves trapped in. Why wouldn't we show solidarity for their struggles, especially if there is ideological alignment?

I'd even commend them on going a step forward and preparing their system for the integration and full rights/representation of non-Kurdish groups who wish to join. More so than basically any alternative in the region, they're doing pretty well with integrating other ethnic and religious groups under a secular, decentralized, democratic framework.

When one considers as well that Kurdistan is not what I'd call a heavily developed region, I'd say the progress they've made has been stellar considering the alternatives that have historically come out of the Middle East in response to imperialism.

If Hillary invades Syria everything will be lost because that would start WW3

This too. Consider aid work, construction, propaganda, or whatever. But just make sure you're not dead weight.


How different is the grammar really? Is it like Spanish, or is it really different like Japanese?

Also, I think most Kurds also speak Arabic or Turkish.

they already have that. It's the reason why SDF is a thing now instead of just YPG

I'm a painter (as in, not an artist), so probably not too high on a desired talent list, but I've also worked as a labourer/digger

Lemme give you an example from the video. "I see the men" would literally translate to "i man see" or another example like "We are kurdish" would be "we kurds are". Im not an expert by any means, but from my own experince trying to learn it as an English speaker, the grammar of the langue is just really foreign.

I actually do think they have artistic sided programs going on over there. Beautifying the city stuff like that

Theyll take artists, actually they really want them to make revolutionary art. Its great for moral. And if you wanna do some digging you can do that too. They need all the help they can get so if you go they will definable have something for you to do.

that's a bit more confusing, though not as much as moonspeak.

Here's Japanese:
Tenshi no Tamago
Tenshi = Angel
no = "of"
Tamago = egg
Tenshi no Tamago = Egg of the Angel / Angel's Egg
totally backwards

Well the YPG is part of the SDF. Really what organizations are tied to who are really fucking difficult to keep track of just because we don't get a lot of information about over there

the truth is if you put the time into learning it, and if you have time to post here chances are you got the time to learn Kurdish, then you'll get it eventually. I think their are groups out their that will let you practice speaking it too, as a duel learning thing.

I know. My point is that it's not just kurds vs the world. They've already proven themselves willing to have other groups join them.

this autistic nazi is extremely assblasted at pisspig joining the YPG

^ good read

how do I download it?

I still don't know why you think this.

lol why

why not join a revolutionary movement that actually has literally anything to do with communism

because we are genuinely fucking retarded. instead of doing something that actually matters this guy got tricked by the "isis is fascist" bandwagon when really all he did we get himself into a sectarian war between a bunch of poor ignorant colonized hicks.

anarkiddie pls

maybe bc there isn't one out there

lmao this dude's entire account is dedicated at taking down Chapo Twitter and he's amazingly shit at it

this idiot could have hit fascist organization or gone after specific porkies like the guys who run the jp morgan and whatnot. dont just fucking kill yourself by fighting for a literal israel

I'm glad he didn't, terrorism is shit and worthless and only frustrated anarchists who are still angry about their high school bullies think it's a worthwhile strategy.

would assassinating the ceos behind major corporations like jp morgan really be shit though? its not like you are hurting civilians

top kek

They'd be replaced by new ones, the Left would get a rep of terrorism and the authorities would have enough popular support to repress us

We tried terrorism in the 19th century, it was shit then as well

I just googled weird twitter
I always assumed these people were illiterate normies, I had no idea this kind of shit was intentional.

Can you get in trouble with the US Govt. by going out there and doing humanitarian work for Rojava? When he returns home is he gonna get scooped up by Feds and debriefed?

In Australia you can have your citizenship stripped for fighting in a foreign conflict (obviously not including our military engaging in sanctioned action)

Yeah, I wonder if it's a similar scenario in the states. Especially since Rojava is an avowed enemy of one of our largest allies in the region (Turkey - though our relations with them have definitely soured in the past decade).

There are layers and layers of irony protecting him from mundane bureaucracy like that

Weird left twitter is great if only because it drives liberals and liberal media pundits on Twitter insane.

Does this make us officially the tough guys of alt-politics?

Reading about this on Twitter I just learned that there's a british brigade there named after a trade unionist

twitter.com/bobcrowbrigade

Why don't you faggots keep me informed of this shit

Communists have always been the tough guys of alternative politics.

Tankies think this is imperialism ):

yeah but these ceo's would be scared. if some group went around assassinating the really fucked up ones that push for political reform against minimum wage the bourgouise would be a bit more spooked and maybe let up on being literal cunts, especially to their workers. maybe it could lead to more worker rights

Lmao, what FB page/group is this?

Fun fact: Bob Crow an English trade union member who joined the International Brigade to fight on the side of Republicans in the Spanish Civil War died in a NVKD prison in Republican Spain, a prison set up at the behest of Stalin to suppress any socialist and revolutionary sentiments.

He's just lashing out because he knows he wouldn't have the balls or bmi to even attempt this kind of thing. It's also a reminder that the "left" isn't just a bunch of limp dick liberals like they imagine.

If the best these actions can do is possibly get some reforms put in place with slightly less resistance from porky then is it really worth it?

I bet he thinks it was pragmatic for the Bolsheviks to take money from Wall Street and the German Empire.

Got a source on that? Bob Crow was our RMT leader who died a few years back. He was pretty baller.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Freedom_Battalion

I think it'd be cool to get a guy from rojava here to talk to us about the YPG. Kind of like a, dare I say it, AMA.

He'll probably be on Chapo eventually so whatever

Exactly, he wasn't even alive during the Spanish civil war.

What did he mean by this?

DUDE FIGHT FOR SOMEONE ELSES ETHNONATION LMAO

That's PozPigDaddyLover
He's real big into the non-reproductive breeding scene if you catch my drift. He's sharing the gift with the entire middle east. :^)

Have a (You)

There are the moments I when consider switching to Thermonuclear ThirdWorldism-Posadism.

It's not like his real name is much better.

My bad, the name sounded familiar so I assumed that was him.

It was actually Bob Smilie, who would have been more appropriate IMO.

No, I'm not an artist. I meant I paint one colour on things. I suppose new houses need paint.

Deserved tbh

What did he mean by this?

Should I go to Rojava?

18 y/o Americunt here. My skills include programming, webdev, Linux admin stuff, knowledge of Unix boxes in general, general tech stuff I guess. Although I'm more than happy to pick up a rifle like PissPig.

I have nothing left to live for.

...

Those skills would probably be better put to use if you could help them build up their tech infrastructure, so a knowledge in electronics, radio, networking etc would go well. Maybe they already have some people that know that.

If you want to make money you should look into freelance SaaS.

youtu.be/ZXsQAXx_ao0

...

Did PissPig even have prior training?

Looks like I have no other option now.

save it man. we'll make some sort of leftypol full communist syria brigade. not this gay ass pseudo israel fake leftist cause shit

same situation here

i'm a bong, 18, no useful skills whatsoever, prospects in life look like a supermarket assistant at best

if i don't do something, i will almost certainly die depressed and alone, very likely by my own hand

should i take the kurd pill?

aye bong it's americunt here

How serious are you about going to Rojava?

I don't wanna go alone ;_;

Unlikely but having some target practice and saving the kurds the money they spend on feeding you and bullets for bootcamp is probably a good idea if you are able to.

oops, i'm

meant to reply to

no. just stay understanding theory and wait for an actual revolutionary cause to spring up. we need all the guys we can get for the real proletariat revoution whether its when the next economic collapse happens or if another destabalized middle eastern country hits the fan. full communists throwing their lives away for fucking kurdish nationalism is the definition of a waste. just be patient comrade, our time will come

lmao I didn't know I'd find myself ever agreeing with pirate flag poster but he's essentially right so:

i am deadly serious

at the moment i'm in the second year of 6th form but i could easily drop out and get a job to save up

i already have about £200 and €200 saved in the bank for when i need it, but if i'm seriously gonna try shit i'll probably need even more than that, so might be wise to take time to save

I can bring a couple thousand USD no problem, and I can get prior training too.

Really, if I do go, I see myself bringing $1k or so for personal expenses (cigarettes, probably just cigarettes) for the 1-2 years I'd plan on being there, and then maybe more to help out.


fuck m8. Should we exchange contact info? I can give you an email or something, a Telegram handle, or whatever.

don't throw your lives away for such a fucking stupid cause, its a middle eastern sectarian war between two colonized people. at least team up and kill porkies or something. like holy fuck.

i am deadly serious

you aren't even joining the pkk. you are just joining a fucking kurdish nationalist group. the same fucking group fascists join to kill muslims without even realizing kurds are muslim

at least obtain a better understanding of the syrian conflict. at least go fight for the pflp-gc or mlkp or some fucking ACTUAL MARXIST-LENINIST organization. going to rojava to help a bunch of kurds set up an ethno nation through the un's backing is just about the stupidest fucking thing you can do as a leftist. waste of revolutionary potential and literally just a suicide when you could actually be helpful to the leftist cause comrade

This is autism. Why don't you do that yourself? Kurdistan could be a breeding ground for a new wave of western leftists like Catalonia was but all you have to contribute is "don't do that".

Who said I was a Marxist-Leninist?

cancer

i'm in this server right now discord.gg/UjKxx

don't wanna post my info onto this Hell Site so join on there and we can go from there

bless your heart

because i know we are just riding on a "EVIL ISIS SPOOKY MUSLIMS TAKE BAGHDADI ALIVE" train fucking right wing shitheads ride on. you don't understand these groups or their histories, they are both products of colonialism, sad poor destroyed farmers fighting sad poor farmers. and the fact you think you are really helping the proletariat cause by sitting on your ass without wifi in rojava waiting to get blown up or killing some poor as fucking hick arab farmers in the name of revolutionary struggle all so you can build a literal israel is beyond retarded. it's going to suck and it's no where near as heroic or cool as you think it is. the levant is a shitty situation all around and the only actual leftist cause was blown the fuck out by opposition very quickly during the start of the syrian civil war, the other leftist causes worth joining in syria (besides meh ones like pflp-gc, mlkp, pkk (which you can't even join btw because these are actual marxist organizations and they don't trust westerners since their groups are considered terrorist organizations)

this is literally you: foxnews.com/us/2015/08/25/father-and-his-sons-take-fight-to-isis.html

This is literally you:
autisticLARPenthusiastrequiresextensivepenisreconstructionaftermarathonmasturbationsession.jpg

oh if you aren't a communist then nevermind lol. i was only pleading with you because I thought you had a brain.

have fun throwing your life away for literally the stupidest fucking cause ever lol, shallow literal american marine tier motivations masked under the guise of leftism.

Who said I wasn't a Marxist-Leninist?

We all wait with bated breath for the moment you throw your life away.

Marxism-Leninism is about as communist as social democracy. Fuck off

fuckoff, i've actually been to syria and jordan. trust me when i say joining the ypg for ideological reasons as a communist is literally the stupidest fucking thing you can do.

but like i said if you are just a suicidal kid/right wing marine who wants to "kill isis" because "islam" then go for it

why not kill isis because isis?

...

there are more important things to throw your life away for than a sectarian and ultimate proxxy war between two colonized and utterly destroyed entities.
like i said if you are not an ideologically motivated communist and have the mental capacity of a fucking US marine then by all means go join the ypg and "get isis".

but if you are ideologically motivated and a communist then you are making a horrible mistake

inb4 they dont let him do anything for real and just dress him up for propaganda
inb4 if he does do serious stuff he gets shot in the dick

Year?
Oh shit, I never though of it like that. Sure I'll just take your word for it on a Dengist Autism Support Community Forum.

I do hope he gets shot in the dick for real though so he can learn that irony and cynicism is fun and all but ultimately solves nothing

PissPigGranddad in the near future

FTFY

ftfy

wanna watch heck ina kek together on sunday comrade?

...

to the comrades who genuinely want to join the YPG in this thread… Seriously don't, you are making a stupid mistake if you are actually ideologically motivated. I know its much harder but at least try to join the PKK so you aren't that fucking stupid.


i'm not going to talk about my activities

Pisspig s a top-tier poster and has done more to make the world a better place than I ever have.
If you think helping the kurds is bad then you're retarded.

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2900111/Florida-surf-instructor-quit-job-join-fight-ISIS-returns-home-just-10-weeks-having-not-fired-single-shot.html

Don't know why but this picture is literally hilarious. I'm so used to seeing middle easterners getting the badly photoshopped martry posters… "HOFFMAN" lmao gold. pisspig will soon be on here without firing a single shot.

Well ignoring the fact the dude is samefagging itt about how cool he is most likely, going to fight with the kurds is pretty much the modern day equivalent of going to fight in spain during their civil war.
pretty much, if you survive, you can come back and write homage to Rojava and bang hot leftist chicks and call all the other lefties armchair commies.

learn2geopolitics

yeah, the reality is the kurds most likely only use westerners to peel potatos and propaganda.
probably the only way you are of use is if you have actual combat experience

what fucking planet are you on, why do you think so many redneck ex-marine "WE HAVE TO STOP ISLAM" are joining the ypg, this has absolutely nothing to do with leftism

ITT: Don't fight for the Kurds because of very smart reasons I will not disclose

Cointelpro wins another battle!

the ypg would never use you even if you do have combat experience, your death will be a random fucking VBIED bomb. if you want to join an actual leftist cause join the PKK and fuck up turkey

use your own brain man

Actual right wingers fight for assad, i remember reading some blog post about some fascists who went to go fight for him.
Americans are dumb as fuck and like 95% of them dont even know the kurds are far left wing, they know they can kill some mudslims though and the kurds are the least bad people

Why not use your brain and post a reason beyond DONT DO DAT
DONT DO DAT
DONT DO DAT!!!

that's not true. google search "fight isis ypg foreigners" and every single news article you will find are ex-marine christians trying to stop "islam". no real ideologically motivated communists join the ypg because they know thats ridiculous. almost as if a communist saw all this anti-palestinian propoganda on zionist facebook videos and decided to fly to israel and join the Israeli defense force because "palestinians are fascist". it's fucking idiocracy.

Go join the pkk if you actually want to not be such a collosal fucking faggot

You know jack shit about the conflict
youtube.com/watch?v=foszQUqKXfg

Will you plead "no true Scotsman"?

It is true though, i mean real right wingers, not americlap neocon faggotry.

vice.com/read/are-greek-neo-nazis-fighting-for-assad-in-syria1

Fascists prefer the dictators over Islamists

Look, you dubs having autist, a load of Christians joining the YPG to fight Islam isn't a good reason to not join the YPG. If anything it shows the even shitter reasons Christians have for joining the YPG.

Isn't the MLKP operating under the PYD in Rojava?

Are you some sort of Assad fanboy? Or do you sympathize with the "moderate rebels"?

...

based

If you're mentally ill or suicidal then don't go. You'll just be a hazard to others.

I dont know how communist or horizontal Rojava will end up, but I do know that it's a better place than literally anywhere else in that part of the ME, and I like what I've seen of their politics.

Since the Turkish invasion, Rojava has been in a much more precarious position. It would be a shame for it to be done away with. Consider this: Rojava is already more egalitarian then my country, and it's in a position where some kind of political change is possible. Contrast that with the US, where revolution will never happen and even reform is dimly possible. And the brain-dead larpers are telling me to stay in the first-world and blow up CEOs or try and organize in an Id-pol dominated political landscape when I'm an awkward white cis male.

It could very well be an ethno-state that doesn't amount to socialism in the end, but at least it's not this fucking place, at least literally anything at all is happening there.

Anybody telling you to kill a CEO should be regarded with the utmost suspicion. Remember COINTELPRO and honeypots are real comrades.

This.

The spirit of joining arms with groups we consider worthy of our solidarity is definitely something the Left should revive, but not due to the wrong reasons. To look at it as a way out of bad choices and a unhealthy lifestyle will probably leave a terrible stigma on the idea of left-wing internationalism, and I doubt war is something that will help your mental problems and lack of purpose.

It's dumb as fuck is what it is, as was pointed out to the goober who posted it.

An assassination wouldn't do dick in this kind of political climate except further stigmatize the left. And in case anyone here has been living in a cave, the left is pretty much irelevant in the entirety of the Western hemisphere, and the masses will only become more reactionary with the way things are going. Class consciousness has been completely supplanted by race consciousness. So until someone can come up with a way to un-fuck the current situation the choices are activism, getting duped by the FBI, or going off to get shot and die in a ditch in some godforsaken backwater.

As a Turk i'm really confused about Rojava.

It's not complicated. You just have to learn to hate your nation. American leftists all have to learn it.

...

There are a lot of similarities between Turkey and the States actually. You have one current and one former empire, horrific racialist nightmares in the recent past, and large quantities of spook-ridden reactionaries who live in the flyover states and are slowly turning fascist.

You know what i wonder, how come during that whole occupy crap no one ever occupied the white house, you want to see some real shit go down they should have camped on the white house lawn, forced obama to call in the tanks.

i used to hate my nation. but now? ehhh no. how can you hate a country when it desperately needs a savior?

vice magazine was bought by Rupert Murdoch and just became another cog in the neoliberal establishment

Head back to Holla Forums any time, buddy.

i think that word doesn't mean what you think it means

Yes, as an American learning about Turkish politics has really helped me reflect on American politics. For instance, Ataturk is revered much in the same way as America's founding fathers. You have the ethnic minorities being suppressed / placed under military (or police) occupation. The insanely corrupt and dishonest media. It's like a nightmare version of America in many respects.


The nation =/= the country. That said, I'm being a bit hyperbolic, but it's essentially true. As an American leftist, I basically have to hate:
and so on. This doesn't mean you have to hate the actual people. Most people in America, Turkey, or anywhere else are pretty much powerless (though the Turkish masses are genuinely voting for Erdogan, which is insanely shitty of them). It just means you should hate the powerful, the system, and the agenda they have.

m8, USA is an empire. Anyone got some literature on this to straighten this Turkanon out?

Why do journalists who cover conflicts always think of themselves as one of the battle-hardened veterans they interview?

Go ask him and post results.

because boo hoo his petit bourgeois journo friends died or got jailed, therefore anyone who actually fucking takes up arms with the YPG is a silly clown!

I think they must paint some of their buildings, but to be honest they're pretty short on materials. If you look at a lot of their villages, it's just brown walls/brick. Construction is the main goal.

Kinda looks like my country.

that song is catchy as fuck

Let's be real. Weird Twitter was 100% wrong on gamergate

"Weird Twitter" is not a thing. Tumblr posts have had that writing style forever too. It's just a less dull/more interesting way of communicating with a few words for the younger generation who grew up with the internet.

People who write tweets like that are not even a cohesive community, so you can't call it a "movement" or a "group", because they don't identify with each other just based on how they type out shit.

Except a lot of it is the SomethingAwful crowd who shit up the internet in the same manner no matter where they go.

they were mostly wrong, but gamergate is totally dead and irrelevant.

He basically shuts down all conservitard arguments, even the ones that are good (in theory)

I LOVE THIS GUY!

we can't all match up to your glorious exploits user

this so much.

I've decided I'm going to join up. God knows I'm getting fuck all done in this country. The only problem is that I'm a soft fuckboy who gets winded walking up the stairs. How fit should I get before I call up the YPG and what sort of fitness regimen would you all recommend I get on in order to do so? Also are there any recommended resources for learning Kurdish?

Maybe you should try civilian work instead down there. God knows they need that too.

Anyways here's some places to start for learning kurdish
rojavaplan.com/join-2-learn-kurdish.html

Holla Forums should start recruiting for rojava just for this

your pipe-dream was a temporary filler for a vacuum that was always destined to be filled by someone else

Bahleted

go to 4/fit/ and read their sticky. Do some Starting Strength freeweight lifting, but also put a big focus on cardio because guerilla war is all about hiking and running everywhere.

ahahahah DELETE FUCKING EVERYTHING

Thanks, fams. I'll see if I can get some friends or relatives who are into fitness to coach me, too.

MODS = FAGS

don't get them to coach you, get them to be your exercise buddy.

DON'T DO IT KID.

it actually fits the Gramscian notion of a socialist state

t. read Gramsci

What an adorable doggo

Strange idea tbh.

yeah, no.

From what I've heard in the past (and mind you I don't remember if it was from a verified source or not) many of the foreign volunteers end up in more of the police/peacekeeping roles rather than front-line fighting. Something about the Kurds not wanting to send other people to do the bulk of the fighting on their behalf. Besides, those more internal roles still need to be done if many of the otherwise capable Kurdish men and women are away fighting.

...

Sounds like a plan

ok maybe ethno was too much bait but it is clearly an ideologue state

They're striving for a Communalist society fam
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communalism_(political_philosophy)
the only limiting factor is that they're in the middle of a war zone and embargoed on all sides

If I had money and any skills I'd do this shit

Any of you thinking about joining YPG now is the time.
The bad news is that the United States is warning ISIS about it's impending "assault."
The good news is that you get to die in a proxy war for Americans while fighting an American/Israeli proxy asset.

>The United States regards the YPG as an ally in its fight against ISIS, but Turkey regards it as a terrorist organization because of its links with Kurdish militants fighting a three-decade insurgency in Turkey.
haaretz.com/middle-east-news/1.749331
Like so many times before, once the United States convinces/forces you to fight for them, the probability of them destroying you or attempting to destroy you after almost becomes a certainty.
And as far as the US is concerned, YPG has no choice but to fight ISIS, so they are forced to take their help whether they like it or not.

Rest in Piss

same thing is what the people republics of lugansk and donetsk claim

there is no proof of russian troops fighting alongside those
but open support for the US destabilization of the region while being buttfucked by their other NATO ally

isn't that interesting

Stop giving me reasons to go. My anime backlog is big enough as it is. No way I will ever catch up over there. ;_;

They need civilian help more than foot soldiers. Contact RojavaPlan for civilian help or YPG-International if RP cant help you. IT people are in dire need afaik.

You dont need money except for the initial flight.

>Many people who distance themselves from some forms of nationalism oppose the overt racism that often accompanies it. When the Left opposes nationalism, they usually take issue with the nationalist segmentation of humankind into peoples. In contrast, we criticise nationalism not just because of a wrong segmentation but also because it posits unification of actual people into the people.

I feel so conflicted about this.

Except you know, their own admittance that they are. news.vice.com/video/selfie-soldiers-russia-checks-in-to-ukraine

Dudes a jew who doesn't understand theory, his sole purpose of going to kurdistan was to kill muslims based on sectarian propoganda under the guise of fighting for "communism". He didn't even join the PKK, if you are a communist and ideologically motivated you join the PKK. this israeli asshat just wants to shoot muslims

Fucking hell, soldiers are near impossible to despook.

I truly wonder who is behind this post?

That is the entire extent of his motivation, he doesn't care that its a proxxy war if you read his twitter he's just a suicidal jew who wants to kill "fascist" muslims. Literally not even joining the PKK to fight against turkey in the name of gommunism. dudes just a shallow biggot.

He's fighting alongside many Muslims against fascists. This has nothing to do with anti-muslim bigotry
