Wanna go to rojava

Have you considered learning skills that could be used over there? Anything from engineering to architecture to applied science? Because just another warm body isn't going to be as helpful at this point in time, figuring out how you can contribute is the best thing you can be doing right now.

You probably won't get to do any actual fighting, if that's what you were planning on. The Antifa fighters there are just props.

Email them, they';; guide you through the rest. It might not be the best to tell them you're suicidal, and if you really are, it might not be the best for you to be close to easy death where you dying can fuck up a lot of shit. Try to learn basic Kurdish and become in shape before you go.

If they just wanted vets they'd only accept vets.

He has to learn how to be a revolutionary somewhere.

Is this real? Can anyone experienced in this explain this?
Always held a high opinion of the YPG and it's treatment of volunteers.

If you are too retarded to find their website you are too retarded to fight.

There's been like 20 deaths among Internationalist YPG volunteers so it's clearly not true. Even in the Tabqa battle recently I've seen more than a dozen different nationalities on the front lines there. If you're good they'll let you fight.

Sounds like the dude is just buttmad about not being able to shoot more people.

For the most part - foreign fighters are indeed kept away from the worst fighting. Yes, they are used a PR props. Partly it's because it could cause problems for them if foreigners fighters start dying en masse while serving with the YPG. But some foreigners do fight on the front lines. There have been quite a few killed in action in fact and even those who do not go to the front lines still play an important role in defense and still face danger. Supposedly, all you have to do to be sent to the frontlines is volunteer for it. Maybe this guy wasn't aware that there was process to go through or maybe they just didn't trust him for some reason. Your opportunities may also vary depending on which unit you end up with.

What are the chances of getting a Kurdish wife over there?

0,1%
but go for it
they might not shave or tampons, but if you are ok with it, go for it

Do you speak fluent Arabic or Kurdish? Are you Muslim? If none of the above I wouldn't even try.

If it doesn't work out, Join Action Front instead

you guys are weaponized autism.

Pathetic tbh smh

b-but I meant it in positive way, comrade!

Would it be easy to get a gf?

ah then thanks comrade-san!

Become the weapon user. Embraco the autismo. What have you got to lose?

I will, I have one project on mind which I believe could be fun and useful, but first I need a few months to get my shit together because I'm overachieving faggot (read good worker) at brink of suicide because of stress. Keep up since then, please!

*keep up good work until then,…

Kurds are mainly fighting for an ethnocentric state to be carved out syria/turkey/iraq, they helped the turks exterminate the armenians and now the turks are trying to figure out how to exterminate their former minions

Biggest tell that the kurds are a total nonthreat to imperialism is that you wont get prosecuted if you go and join them, also that they recieve good press from almost all sides which is very suspicious

listen man war is a rush if you feel like youre fucking dead already then just do it, getting shot at puts things into perspective, dont fool yourself into thinking you are fighting for a marxist utopia tho nigga, youre fighting for the mainly sunni kurds who have been more than willing to turn a blind eye towards nonkurds being slaughtered by Daesh and basically are helping the powers that be balkanize Iraq/Syria with their wet dream being balkanization of Iran

Bratte you need to stop buying into the tier1oper8 meem, kurds know how to mout and shit but they will take just about anyone, at least they are semi-organized now in terms of western volunteers, used to be youd end up at some forward position without a raifu or a day of training

Dont die for someone elses revolution mate.

if youre suicidal then i guess you could try to do a bank heist or something to fund your own commune in your country.

Christ almighty, read a book will you.

No foreigners are only kept away from the front if they are unlucky and get placed in rear units and dont change(yes its perfectly possible to change units if you want) or if they are to lazy to learn Kurdish. Lots of foreigners died.

YPG and PKK literally saved tens of thousands of Yazidis from ISIS genocide and perhaps their closest partner in SDF is Syriac Military Council, a socialist Assyrian group who they have fought alongside to liberate thousands of Christians from ISIS rule. Aramaic is promoted in Rojava as one of its official languages and Assyrians are allowed teach it for the first time in Syria's history.

They go out of their way to help minorities.

both the syrian kurds and iraqi kurds are supported by the west, and the outcome of this conflict will likely be rojava's ending up like iraqi kurdistan; i.e. a u.s. client with significant autonomy (as long as they don't get out of line by encroaching on u.s. interests). they might as well be a unified political force at this point
most don't. in interviews, volunteers have mentioned that authorities are often aware of their actions and usually turn a blind eye
maybe not but i'd imagine most kurds support the notion of a sovereign kurdish territory

For those saying that foreign volunteers are just props should really explain these pics which is the aftermath of a Deash attack on an International Freedom Battalion position.
How would these guys be props if they have proof that they are literally on the front lines killing jihadis. And how would one explain the number of deaths sustained by the IFB too?

BHAWBAWHAWHAWHAWHWHAHWWHAABWHAWHWHAWHAABWWABHAB. Burger confirmed.

[citation needed]

God actually read into Syria and Iraq before attempting to comment about it.

oh please

I'm shocked by how many people know absolutely nothing about the situation but are so vocally opposed to the SDF. It's like all the leftists who never cared about the middle east until a few months ago they started attending every rojava event with pamphlets about why you must not support them.

An IFB commander was just killed in the last few days on the Raqqa front.

Considering that the SDC has specifically stated that they have absolute no plans nor ambitions to secede from Syria and with the large amount of Russian units in Afrin and Manbij; I highly doubt that Rojava is going to turn into a client state.
Saying so would be greatly overestimating US influence over the internal politics in Rojava.
nice backtrack on what you said there m8.
As mentioned earlier; that's completely irrelevant to the politics and ambitions of the SDC.
You're just proving how little you know about the topic by this point.

you are aware that rojava has many cia officers and delta operators, yeah? plus sf is training their soldiers and assisting the kurdish sof

the place is full of serious, high-level american agents. you think that's just meaningless or something?

I never said its black and white, and yeah I should have mentioned that the kurds are not one homogenous entity, but my points still stand, we know what the cui bono of backing the kurds is for the west and we know that "the kurds" are more than willing to aide and abett imperialist powers if it gets them something, so telling me to "read a book nigger" is not really an argument, it just shows that youre kinda defensive, probably because you have read around and know theres some truth to this.

at least give me a book suggestion, goddamn nigga

the dude arguing with you isnt me btw, stop telling people to "read into it" bruh and make some specific points

they arent just props thats bullshit, you can get actual combat experience there for sure, and supposedly you arent just straight up camera fodder anymore

i am not

things may be a wee bit different now but not too long ago kurds would have been wiped were it not for Coalition airstrikes, they were completely under siege no amount of prowess would have saved them

yeah theyre saying that now because they are in no position to do such a thing, im not claiming I know what their specific strategic goals are but thats a worthless statement if ive ever seen one

listen I know you guys really romanticize them and all and im not fucking saying theyre all bad just thats its fucking complicated like it always is, and right in the thick of it is always western intelligence

That's irrelevant though - they still want autonomy (which Assad is probably not going to agree to unless they give him no choice).

It's not "full" of US agents by any means. There are only a few hundred US troops in all of Syria and most don't do anything. Yes, it's completely meaningless. Russian troops have way more of a presence in Syria than Americans but I don't see any discussion of Rojava being a Russian puppet. Russian agents are also at work in Rojava and the YPG has received training from Russian SOF as well.

the quality is more significant than the quantity
russia isn't the global superpower or the world's chief anticommunist

US is barely anticommunist any more they just re-established relations with Cuba. I doubt they give a single fuck about Rojava's ideology especially since they could wipe DFNS out with extreme ease any time they want. Or just get Erdogan to do it for them. Also, relative to to Rojava (or even all of Syria) Russia might as well be a superpower. They could impose their will just as easily as the US can it's just a matter of how invested they are.

Well for starters, CIA? Lolnicejok that's why they are egging on the turks to invade, the army is the Pro-SDF lot in the US armed forces. Sure the SF is training troops, but to say the Iraqi Kurds are unified, let alone both the Rojava and Iraqi kurds is so ignorant I am pretty sure a year 7 has a better understanding of Syria than you.

Sure the US agents are there, but so are the Russian agents: Afrin is full of russkies arming and training people down there. Now what kind of 'muh CIA puppet' lets in the goddamn Russians?

Besides, none of this actually relates to what you said: the SDF continue to build democratic confederalism, the US troops training members of the SDF doesn't make the socialist system they are building there any less real.

this is an interesting little sideshow in this clusterfuck, lemao, smaht of da kurds, they are hedging their bets, maybe they havent forgotten how the burger stabbed them in the back with saddam

thanks for reminding me of this, but comparing it to coalition "advise and assist" for the kurds is kinda laughable, the Op is barely up and not nearly comparable in scope, but it does add another disturbingly hilarious side to this fubar

welcome to 4gw, where everybody fights everybody while all being in bed together

ultimately my point is that the u.s. is not going to allow an independent socialistic nation to take root in its backyard. rojava is going to be under the american yoke, and they'll use the kurds for their own purposes. and the kurds will do it, unless they want to risk destruction by disobeying

your insults mean nothing to me
who says they have a choice over who they let in?
it makes it compromised by the american fucking government and its minions. you wouldn't trust a rightist group in south america supported by the u.s., but when it's the kurds it's suddenly all good?

america is not a fucking ally. it's a threat. that's what needs to be understood and appreciated

this nigga, he knows

I fucking love americans even if they can be stupid fat cunts, but you can never, NEVER trust the perfidious angle, at least not in this paradigm, its all game theory to them

...

test

bump

Marxism wouldn't exist without the English

Why would IS want to kill han solo?

Not the user you're replying to but the reason I don't support rightist groups in south america is because they're rightist groups, not because whatever geopolitical superpower has their back

Aye those are some good points but the Kurds, in my opinion at least, don't wholly trust Americans either; the mountains are their only friends after all.
This is made clear by the SDC buddying up with Russia against Turkey. They are fully aware that Turkey is an American ally and how much Turkey has gotten support from the US in their war against the PKK.
If we've learnt anything from the SDC; it's that they are masters of diplomacy. If they want to play a game of using Russia against America and Turkey if push comes to shove; I'll have no doubt that they will.
And it's funny how many think that the US has influence over SDC policy when it's actually been the other way round due to sick tricks from TEV-DEM when they forced the US SF to position themselves against their ally Turkey to keep the promise that they would carry out their attack on Raqqah.

Learn Esperanto it's very easy

This tbh. Even if it's not going to be a world language anytime soon (and it isn't), Esperanto is actually a good club to be in. The community is cool and gets you out of your cultural comfort zone, which can hugely improve your mental state.

Bite the bullet dėgenerate

Well they go to a war they dont have to fight, so you can assume they want to be at the front.
