Eh, one side is committing genocide, has been ethnically cleansing Palestinian, continually attacking neighboring countries, and effectively murdering gay people as well (do you think the 2000 pound bombs make an exception for gay people?) and the other side is a theocracy with all the flaws that come with that. When it comes down to it, Israel is far, far worse than Iran. You can support parties you're critical of.

Me when a guy in a white supremacist administration makes a nazi salute and the ADL goes "no, it wasn't"

Me when an interest group which for decades has cried out against genocide and targeted ethno-religious persecution actively and deliberately proclaims it is going to eliminate an entire ethno-religious group from a large area of land

Me when people are defending that

Same when people started calling Hamas "freedom fighters".

I refuse to believe these people are really tbh. Or they're just mentally deranged vocal minority

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

They're terrorists fighting a terrorist state. The problem here is the Palestinian people being caught in the middle and being used as human shields by both sides. And one side has a certain extra burn to it because they should know better than to just openly commit genocide. Even the Nazis hid it better. All Israel is doing is just murdering journalists. At least have some shame in your genocide, ya know?

Sorry I don't follow. How is that relevant to my comment?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

When did "I'm thick as mud" become a viable political argument?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

What? What's even the point of these replies if you just spam me in bad faith. Go write a diary or something if you're looking for an outlet

Yeah, next people will be saying the ANC were actually freedom fighters!

It's sad really, people who only see things in terms of black and white tribalism.

Me pointing out people shouldn't cheer an evil state because theyre fighting a different evil state is black and white tribalism?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

You were perfectly happy to cheer on Israel's brutal attack on Iran just a day ago. I also remember you going extremely hard defending oligarch paediphile oligarch Bill Gates, and the genocide supporters of the US Democratic party. And I'm betting you're not being to condemn people who celebrate the British Empire.

Your black and white tribalism is literally that, you will always side with White Westerners.

Nobody is out there crowing about the superiority of Iran. Or how Iran is sooooooo great.

It's just schadenfreude. It's a quadruple heroin overdose of schadenfreude directly in our veins. We've screamed and cried and protested and called reps and done everything we could for 2 years while watching a genocide live on TV. For 2 years.

It's very cathartic to see that evil genocidal pedophile colony get its shit rocked. I cheered watching a hypersonic missile hit the Israeli Pentagon and I'll keep cheering.

Israel hit first. They called it preemptive but it was premeditated. Big difference. They punched above their weight now the hit dog is hollering. The very moment Israel sues for peace and comes to the table with concessions I'll support the violence coming to a negotiated end. And not a moment before. Until then. Pound them into fucking sand. Twist the goddamn knife.

Chump can get involved if he wants but I won't go die for Israel. Not for all the money held by the Forbes 500. If they call a draft I'll dodge it.

Iran has the right to defend itself.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Does it matter if it's Iran? They are still the victims here. Israel is downright genocidal, and won't stop in Iran!

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

Oh no, Iran, which tortures atheists, executes LGBT people, and beats women to death had something bad happen to them, poor babies -🤡

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

I don't know when everybody decided "their government does bad things = they should die" was a woke take

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Oh look at that, you don't actually care about Iranian LGBT, women, and atheists. You just see them as a way to justify murdering Iranians, including Iranian women, atheists, and LGBT people.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh damn their domestic policy harms innocent civilians, so therefore bombing innocent civilians compeltely unprovoked is justfied 🤡

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 weeks ago (11 children)

Completely unprovoked

You either don't know what's been going on, or you do and don't care. Either way, I don't see the substance of interacting with you further.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

this agreement is a farce. Look what happened to Ukraine the moment they signed their nuke rights away.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

I see you've given up pretending you don't just support Israel.

There's no them. You can't blame a whole group of people for being evil, that's how you get Auswitchz.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Iran has multiple orders of magnitude on its hands - gay or otherwise - than any country that supports Israel.

If you can understand why people cheered on the British Empire during World War Two - even though it was one of the most brutal, genocidal entities in history - but can't understand why people would critically support Iran now, you are just a white supremacist.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Calling people out for supporting Iran which actively tortures atheists, LGBT people, and beats women to death for not wearing a hijab is "white supremacy"?

Take it out of the box and put it back in please buddy, I'm worried for ya.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Well you've already shown you don't actually care about those people. And if you think Iran is qualitivly worse than the British Empire, then yeah, you're definitely a white supremacist.

“Lesser-evilism for me but not for thee”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Are we confusing governments for the civilians who live under their rule?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 weeks ago

Some people are, yes.
