Breaking news! The actual reason why Syria fell has just been released to the public

It's because the Lion was a gamer all along.

I really hope the curse of Assad won't strike me down for this blasphemy.

Alaskaball [comrade/them, any] - 2mon

He's just the latest in a long line of millenials, zoomers, and whatever the heck we call the new kids on the block after zoomers to hate on to declare has become completely addicted to video games and is causing X moral panick

What does the lion of Damascus think of the chapo MGS miniseries.

24
Alaskaball [comrade/them, any] - 2mon

You know, now might actually be the time to ask him now that he's retired.

20
Hestia [she/her, fae/faer] - 2mon

I hope he enjoys his... Retirement....

Running a country sounds awful. I'm glad he has the option to kick back and relax a bit more

22
Alaskaball [comrade/them, any] - 2mon

Depends on the game I think. Apex or fortnight might spike ones bloodpressure more than running a country methinks

13
Hestia [she/her, fae/faer] - 2mon

I wonder what his favorite gamer word is thonk

10
Alaskaball [comrade/them, any] - 2mon

Probably some variation of y'allah depending on the situation

14
newacctidk [none/use name] - 2mon

Probably gonna be some slur for Assyrians or something

BurgerPunk [he/him, comrade/them] - 2mon

What else is he supposed to do in his retirement? Post lists to appear relatable/relevant?

21
Alaskaball [comrade/them, any] - 2mon

You'd think he'd try being a grifter "president in exile giving speechs for a few grand" or something like the many American goons and puppets, but it's surprising he's just doing his own thing now.

17
Keld [he/him, any] - 2mon

The difference is twofold. The first is that those American compradors, puppets and goons are selling something an American audience wants. Usually neoliberal economics and "democracy" in the form of allowing American cutout NGOs to run things. Assad is the face of a movement whose chief successful politics are secular Arab nationalism and nationalising resource extraction industries. Do you think there is much of a receptive audience among the political and social elite in Russia?
Which leads to the second thing. Assad was very clearly given a deal of don't get involved in politics and don't make a spectacle of yourself and you get to stay here by Putin, and going on a lecture tour is the opposite of that.

11
Alaskaball [comrade/them, any] - 2mon

Would the deal hold if he starts a vtuber twitch channel and became twitch famous?

8
Keld [he/him, any] - 2mon

I think he'd have to go on kick

7
Alaskaball [comrade/them, any] - 2mon

Those damn communists hate freedom to stream on twitch
