    If you saw some of the unfiltered news, you would agree. I have quite a few Iranian friends that are watching their fellow citizens be murdered. but we know that’s not why the USA is doing this.

    Also, change Iranian to American and I’m on board. Fuck ICE.

      Finally a sane take. I’m so tired of people acting like I support US/Israeli aggression just because I pointed out the brutality of the IRGC and professed support for the New Iran movement/protesters. That was before the invasion even started, on an article about a student protest.

      Like, there’s no need to pigeonhole everyone into camps where we all have to choose an evil dictator to support and if you don’t support my evil dictator then you must be supporting the evil dictators who oppose my evil dictator. There’s no need for that mentality.

      Humans were supposed to be rational beings capable of complex contextual reasoning. It was what separated us from the animals. But now we’re allergic to nuance, and saying things like “All evil dictators are bad and must go” gets you skewered and accused of supporting the wrong evil dictators.

      Fuck trump. Fuck netanyahu. Fuck khamenei. Fuck putin. Fuck lukashenko and all the other B-rated evil dictator proxies who seem to be springing up like weeds. Fuck the fallen dictators like assad and bolsonaro. Fuck all the evil dictators. And not the good kind of fucking.

      What’s so fucking hard to get about that?
