    What does support from the proles actually look like? Anti-interventionism, or is there anything else? I don’t really know what it would mean to say “I support Syria/Rojava” when I’m halfway across the globe.

      Pretty much anti-interventionism. Personally I like to educate the people around me on the ways that the US has been explicitly evil from its inception, and to use context to derail hatefests against our targets, but I don’t think either of those really qualifies as meaningful support.

      On a personal level, what I mean by support is mainly internal. It affects how we approach certain issues - especially calls for intervention - but it isn’t a form of aid. The issue of support is much more material between nations, but for us to have any personal say in that we’d have to gain control
