I see anarchism as something you do not an identity...

...so don’t call me the anarchist anthropologist

Juan Cole just posted story about Yezidis that doesn’t mention they were rescued by PKK/YPG. I wrote a reply. Let’s see it passes moderation

I used to really like @JuanCole’s blog. But he’s just bizarre on Kurdish issues. I haven’t seen one single mention of #Rojava in it. Ever.
