i used to be pro-assad from 2013-2015, but i could not support him anymore after realizing that he did not represent any form of long term progress or hope for the country, but rather a stagnant regime that will sacrifice literally everything just so the family can cling to power. at some point, pointing to the other guys and screaming "but they're worse" becomes stale and uninspiring. no one wants to die for a slightly less worse vision than that held by the other guys.
