Kind of indicates that those types take extreme stances only when convenient, and then suddenly find a way to "settle" for everything that isn't convenient. I know it's not worth grouping all anarchists together but it would explain why they are ready to go larping against fringe hate groups while adopting talking points from J-Street when it comes to Israel inside the Western countries. Same thing here: the anarchists from afar condemn the Assad regime, but the handful that actually go to Syria are ready to make concessions to him while fighting everyone else. Wherever they are, they operate within the lines rather than re-drawing them. Amith R.
