You can't have a proper military without a proper economy.
You can't have a proper economy with a state without a monopoly on violence + monopoly on foreign relations.

Hezbollah and its supporters have been robbing us from having a proper state and military, then they unilaterally start a war and use a circular logic on why they need to have weapons. Unfortunately low IQ and lack of critical thinking is destroying the country.

And fuck Israel على صحة السلامة

As an outsider, I truly don’t understand . . . do Lebanese Shia people just have zero faith in the official government? They’re fine with indefinitely maintaining this separate/parallel power structure in Hezbollah, which basically guarantees that Lebanon as a state will never reach its full potential or be taken seriously on the international stage?

There is a lot of historical context:

• Shia were historically disadvantaged and their political role was initially absorbed by Sunnis

- The state left them to fend for themselves first during the PLO occupation and then during Israeli occupation

- Hezbollah and Amal gave them political and military power and they are credited to have freed the south from Hezbollah

- Hezbollah managed to basically build a parallel state, not just militarily. Virtually all Shia families have ties to Hezbollah and its institutions, medical, financial, military, so it's hard to untangle the Shia from Hezbollah.
