i often fantasize about becoming dictator here and bombing all the mosques and churches and making worshipping the state the only religion allowed, ending all tribalism retardation.

>who do you think is at fault for the state of the country?
neoliberalism combined with tribalism
we are a hypercapitalistic nightmare dystopia where the government is non-existent
instead of government programs people have to rely on religious leaders who buy votes by offering benefits to their "tribe", also bribing and nepotism/favoritism is the norm.
of course this makes fighting corruption even harder since leaders hide behind their religious affiliation and consider it an "attack on our community" if you want to take them to court.
in addition, the parliament cannot agree on anything like infrastructure programs "no you can't build a dam there, what about us are you forgetting us??" and nothing ever gets done
at this point i just want Syria to absorb us, the whole existence of this country is an aberration and a post-colonial shitstain.

I see, yeah sectarianism is plaguing us quite a bit too, not as badly as you, and not in an ethno-religious sense, but rather a secular-religious divide.
since you're a maronite I assume you live somewhere more up north? what are people's opinions on israel? since a lot of the maronites I spoke to online seem to blame iran and hezbollah for the problems, israel has a lukewarm-good reception among them.
Christopher Gonzalez
All the Muslims should’ve been expelled to Syria and maybe only Druze kept since they are Levantine genetically also.
Oliver Cruz
it really depends who you ask, some maronites are pro-hezbollah (mostly for their fight against ISIS and protecting Christians in Syria), others view them as an Iranian invasion and are more pro-US and (not openly of course) Israel to some extent.
personally I don't hate anyone, everyone has good and bad people, and I think a lot of younger people share my sentiment here (the region where I live, at least.)
Evan Parker
You think a Syrian government would be any better for your cunt? You're just saying that cause you're sad and desperate, user. I feel you.
Carson Powell
I see, thanks for answering user, I hope you and your people can survive the hard times you're going through and come out the other side stronger than ever, it would be nice to have a somewhat functional democracy as a neighbor for once.
Cameron Perez

sectarianism is so retarded

Hezbollah is garbage but let's not forget that most conflicts in the middle east started when white people put you guys on the map, and the palestinians refugees who continue to lose their homes have forced everybody to pick sides and instigated the religious schism in lebanon & elsewhere
Nathan Diaz
This will unironically will end Lebanon problems.
Angel Flores
unironically when the country was under syrian occupation was the time the country was somewhat functioning. it's because Hafez ruled with an iron fist and corruption was at its lowest and most infrastructure programs and post-war renovations took place. after the syrian army left in 2005 the sectarian warlords took over the power vaccum and we now have this neo-feudal shitstain existence.
Ian Perry
thats why expelling the muslims would fix sectarianism problem. druzes are milder and would be integrated into civilized culture also. no inbred retard population also dragging iq down.
Jaxon Fisher
this is just dumb
i have muslim friends who are less practicing than people in my own family
fanaticism is fueled by poverty and socioeconomic reasons
>druzes are milder
nah some of them are outright psychotic when it comes to their religion
there is a famous headline here where a muslim guy tried to marry a druze woman and her family kidnapped him and chopped off his penis
Nathan Mitchell
your friends are like 2% of the muslims. they aren't even true Phoenician descendants they are mixed iranian and egyptian,iraqi, bedouin blood.
