For reference to his net worth, if you had $400 dollars, this would be like arguing with someone over two quarters.

That's the problem though, the two are not mutually exclusive.

My goto is to ask LLMs how many states have R in their name. They always fail. GPT 5 included Indiana, Illinois, and Texas in its list. It then asked me if I wanted an alphabetical highlighted map. Sure, why not.

Those figures include Nusra, Ahrar al-Sham, and HTS, and yes, even ISIS. It's not even close. So, please, either do the work to learn about Syria, or listen to Syrians and just leave us alone. Otherwise, you just sound like a Trumper trying to criticize AOC.

There was no future of Syria without first toppling the brutal 50-year Assad regime. Assad was already normalized with apartheid Israel. Assad massacred more Syrians (and Palestinian refugees) than every other faction in our revolution, combined. snhr.org/blog/2024/08...

Many don't even realize they're disseminating Assadist – and often straight up Zionist – propaganda meant to position our toppled dictatorship as somehow better than whatever our future holds. We WANT to publicly criticize Sharaa, but we keep getting dragged back into the same fear-based falsehoods.

When Syrians push back against this disinfo, we are met with clutched pearls wondering why they're not allowed to criticize Sharaa at all. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO CRITICIZE SHARAA. That was the whole point of the revolution. But that's not carte blanche permission to repeat whatever nonsense you want.
