Even if that were the case, it's not weirder than "leftists" supporting the fascists against communist guerrillas

the tankies who actually think assad is Good are insane and stupid freaks. almost as insane and stupid as the people who support american intervention

The SAA and YPG aren't really even fighting each other, so that framing doesn't make any sense. If we did a regime change in Syria it wouldn't be on behalf of Rojava.

assad is just run of the mill nationalist authoritarian, but he has the support of the actual fascists.

didnt the SAA deploy troops to kurdish held areas if for no other reason than it makes you look like a giant cuck when turkey invades your country and the only people even nominally standing in the way are marxist-feminist irregulars

so whether a government is legitimate or not is purely based on its relationship with the united states.

does this mean when assad was hosting CIA black sites to torture some folks, did the government become less legitimate but regained it later on

Well then it has nothing to do with legitimacy at all. That's just a convenient line you don't really believe in. What you really believe is that everyone who supports the US is bad and everyone who opposes it is good, because you have a naive and Manichean view of the world.
