quote [ On the front lines of Syria with the young American radicals, anarchists fighting ISIS, Islamic State.
To Belden, it looked like a post-9/11 reprise of the Spanish Civil War. In place of the anarchists and communists of the Popular Front, you had the Syrian Kurds, with their nearly identical anti-capitalist ideology; and in place of Franco, the Catholic fascist dictator, you had ISIS, the ultimate religious conservatives. The motto of the Spanish Republic was ¡No Pasarán! The motto of Rojava: No State/No Caliphate. ] #applied politics

I didn't read the article. But judging from that picture, I'd say you're wrong about hipsters being gone.

Anyone who willingly goes to somewhere s/he's going to get shot at is not a hipster.

It's like the Occupy movement, with Kalashnikovs.
A long read, but good, on-the-spot reporting.
