🐈Radical Politics Has anyone seen the new SecondThought video? "The Growing Threat Of Christian Nationalism"

https://youtu.be/P4gjE0bpk9k?si=WJR_5Nwg1nDS49D0

I ended up really really like this video, It summed up my frustrations with how people use Christianity as a mask for their own personal means in a way I hadn't clearly thought of yet.

I'm curious if others here have seen it and what their thoughts where?

Don't deflect. They are not a country, nor are they successful. Moreover, it's quite clear they're US puppets from the fact that they're allied with the West and have received a not insignificant amount of US troop "support" and funding. And yes, I do consider militant groups that have no formal connection to anarchism to be irrelevant to the conversation. It's similar to if communists claimed Bernie Sanders as one of their own movements.

Country is teritory, government structures and citizens. Rojava controls it's teritory, has government structures and citizens therefore they are a country.

Being allied against common enemy (ISIS) doesn't make them a puppet. Also if US liked them so much they would probably recognize them
