"Amnesty International also interviewed residents from Ras al-Ayn and the village of Tel Diyab in Ras al-Ayn countryside who said that they had been forcibly displaced by the YPG and Asayish, the Autonomous Administration’s police force, and that their property had been destroyed or confiscated, though they said that they – and not the entire community – were singled out for this treatment.

While the majority of residents affected by these unlawful practices are Arabs and Turkmen, in some cases, for example in the mixed town of Suluk, Kurdish residents have also been barred by the YPG and Asayish from returning to their homes. Elsewhere, for example in Abdi Koy village, a small number of Kurdish residents have also been forcibly displaced by the YPG. Amnesty International researchers also observed that Arab and Turkmen residents continued to reside unmolested in other areas under the control of the Autonomous Administration, including, for example, in the city of Ras al-Ayn, which is predominantly Arab."

From the text itself, it doesn't seem to actually be a case of ethnic cleansing, either.


Forceful displacement and forceful migration of a population is considered ethnic cleansing by the UN.


Only if it's deliberately targeting a specific ethnicity. These forced relocations - as shitty as they are - aren't being aimed at any one specific ethnic group. Even Kurds have endured this, as I literally just quoted from the text.

Wait... yes he is... I forgot... everything right of anarchy is fascism!


Dio's pretty much incredibly Fascistic in regards to his ideological beliefs. At the very least, if Fascist is too icky a word for you, he's a Hyper-Authoritarian Theocrat.


The core tenats necessary for fascism are as follows: Fuhrerprincip ( absolute power in a single ruler ), single-party rule, corporate economy, militarism, nationalism.

I don't recall Dio ever advocating for a single all powerful ruler, so there is one strike. As far as I can tell he has never supported single party rule over the nation ( quite frankly, I think he hates party politics ), so that's strike two. He is a distributist not a corporatist, strike three.

In regards to nationalism and militarism, I really don't know his stances.

Dio isn't a fascist, or perhaps not even inspired by it's principles and ideas. He is a Conservative ( traditional sense of the word ) Catholic who takes his social teachings seriously. This is a starkly different position than that of fascism.

Not at all. You could target multiple ethnicities or religious groups. In fact we don't know in which particularities the Kurdish that were removed were part of. They could have been Sunni, Shia, Yabidi or something else entirely. Or maybe if they were Sunni then they were targeted specifically since ISIS likes to recruit from that religious demographic.

Oh don't play that bloody game. Your post pretty clearly insinuated that I was some triggered leftist who thought anything right of communism was fascist. As though Dio's ideas are anywhere near the mainstream right-wing.

I compared one self-admitted totalitarian who supports militarism, corporatism, and Anti-Semitic conspiracy theories to another one.

Those posts said nothing of militarism or corporatism, and being totalitarian when compared to most distributists does not necessarily mean you are totalitarian. I don't know his thought's on judaism, but anti-semetism is not a tenet of fascism.

Distributism is a form of corporatism, calling for a return to the guild system and class collaboration, as opposed to free market capitalism or Marxist class conflict. Anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about "Jewish capitalism" are a big part of Fascism. His argument with Torra stemmed from support for militarism and ultra-conservative gender roles.

We're still feeling the aftereffects to this day, almost all of which are overwhelmingly negative. Civil rights for blacks? Good. A widespread "if it feels good, why not do it in the road" mentality with regards to sexuality and drug use that's basically only gotten worse since then? Not so good.

First they came for the memers, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a memer.
Then they came for the nationalists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a nationalist.
Then they came for OEP, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not OEP.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

The fact that they are relocating specific types of people particularly of those of the Sunni religion is alarming. Particularly since they are using the excuse of having ISIS sympathies even when they are not substantiated with evidence. The United States did this with the Japanese as they were determinted to be believed as IJ sympathizers. The Greeks and Turkish with the exchange of Orthodox and Sunni population on the basis of "stability". Amongst many others with similar excuses.
