This story shows the danger of blindly following ideology. A "progressive" force came to power. They can do no wrong. Black-and-white mentality. Any evidence to the contrary is ignored. Recall the Rwanda massacres ... Southern Sudan. It was a progressive fight for independence from Islamist Sudan. Guess what has been happening inside an independent Southern Sudan...Syria is a story of a "brutal dictator" and rebels fighting for freedom. Only the rebels cut off heads and reject every possible Western value. But use the word "moderate" and it's okay...Ukraine. A noble uprising against "pick your demonizing word". Legitimate aspirations to democracy, freedom , etc. Reports of ultra nationalist battalions openly espousing Nazi ideology and engaging in cruel actions are ignored in favor of the narrative... South Africa . The current president of the "progressive" ANC calls for confiscation of land owned by whites and their banishment. Comes close ethnic cleansing but against the narrative.
