You mean the Assad regime that was part of the literal resistance Axis against Israel?
I enjoy strategy games, and yes, that includes paradox titles (if you know, you know). Hearts of Iron, Europa Universalis etc. I think they’re well designed games, apart from the recent releases, but the fanbase and some of the ideological fantasy, it’s… not great.
Look at the words they use, it’s very revealing: “Ally of Muslims”, “most of the Islamic World”, “sides with the Muslims”.
This is what the political mindset of most of these people is. They are Islamist sectarians above all. I really wanted to believe that the middle east had a united/secular future, but this will now likely not happen for decades and likely not even this century. The majority of middle eastern people have been so utterly brainwashed by this ideology that they will happily support Isis-Al Qaeda death squads in Syria, because they opposed the previous, more tolerant government. They opposed Afghan socialism because it was secular, they oppose Iran because they are Shiites, and worst of all, as I found out last December, they only “care” about Palestine because they are Sunnis and their oppressors are not.
It’s depressing and infuriating, and it’s all by design.
