> well if el salvador can do it why can't syria? a bunch of variables were in the right place at the right time for change to occur. like a one in a million chance. in syria's case it's unlikely imo.  > these turd world shit hole countries are shit holes because nobody ever actually tried! like i keep saying, there's a extremely low roi when it comes to taking real action. look at how many rebel groups, how many political and social organizations had people which dedicated their lives to doing something only for it to be a complete waste of time. cases like el salvador are the exception and not the rule. survivorship bias.    exceptions and not the rule.
