Mostly students and adults, these brave souls would emerge after Friday prayers,

emboldened by the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood. Yet, as the days wore on, and a year had passed, other groups arose, heavily armed and backed by the likes of Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

Some exs of Rag Tag Militants that created #Anarchist Wars miserably & failed to live up to the expectations of their followers->
1. Congo after removal of Mobutu
2. Iran after removal of Shah Reza
3. MENA Countries that embraced Arab Spring
4. Lebanon Civil War
5. Afghanistan
it's very easy to give a call to arms and declare war against the status quo.
We have seen many famous leaders who turned from being promising #revolutionaries into lunatic #populists, and later mutated further into #Anarchists.
Iconoclastic fervour always fails!

State institutions are never neutral. They protect the supposed legitimacy of the state. THIS is what should become obvious when an Obama-appointed bureaucrat hid the historical record to protect “the presidency.” #Twitterstorians
The National Archives are not neutral arbiters of American history in the services of some ‘public good.’ They exist as a propaganda arm of the state to tell a romantic story about the greatness of America and its government. #twitterstorians
The fact that people have pressured the National Archives (from inside and outside) to include XYZ is not part of its normal operation. That’s the anomaly here not the archives hiding history (hello, classified files?).

While I rarely comb through #DemocraticPrimary polling on a Friday night, when I do, my distain for #electoralism only grows stronger. #Bernie and #Biden are dead-even among people who consider reducing income inequality their highest priority!? surveyusa.com/client/PollRep…
He’s beating #Bernie among union households!? Among working class people!? Among college grads!? And 41% of all ‘high information’ Democratic Primary voters want a SMALLER federal government. I know they ain’t #anarchists so how politically confused is this electorate right now?
It’s one kind of naïveté/baseless optimism to put faith in electoral politics if there was a rational electorate with a basic political education and the inclination to reduce harm by voting for the lesser of two evils. But when they have no clue who the lesser of two evils is?
