    I recently learned that opposition to tyranny is like an ideological requirement to become a leader in Ansar Allah / Houthis. Apparently they “believe that opposing tyranny is a moral obligation rooted in their Zaydi political theology, which emphasizes that legitimate authority must be visible and earned through action. This principle encourages uprisings against rulers deemed unjust, framing resistance not as rebellion but as a fulfillment of rightful leadership.” PS: Some links 1 2 3

    It’s still a question what they think about justice in regards to gender equality and the like, but throughout that whole Hasan Piker / Houthi love affair I failed to learn about this.
