The deadly "naivety" of the coddled western liberal:
The mindset of the modern ivory tower liberal can be described as that of a hoarder living in complete squalor, with refuse piling around them rapidly turning their own abode into a deadly firetrap to be ignited with one spark, and yet they continue to choose to be oblivious. This is also the mindset of an ivy league activist, who one night sees a violent EDP on a subway station cursing and smearing his own feces on the walls, and think that they can approach the disturbed person and reason with them, only to get a knife through their neck and bleeding out on the dirty mezzanine floor for their troubles.
Less than a few months into taking power, the new Syrian regime has exposed themselves as pretty much Al Qaeda and ISIS which had been disguised all this time. Over 2000+ Alawites, Christians, and others had been slaughtered in the last 3 days of violence. Entire villages being machine gunned, women and children burned alive. The MSM has almost been completely silent, even so-called "conservative" agencies like the New York Post, pushing only brief coverage buried far under the usual celebrity sleaze and scam health "hacks".
