Its amazing how shitty the US is behaving, to the point where the theocratic authoritarian government of Iran is looking like the good guys.
It's an authoritarian theocracy. How the fuck is the bar to be better than them so low, yet they still fuck it up?
Most people don't seem to be able to view both sides as bad. I feel for civilians on all sides, because they are the ones dying and suffering. Caught between murderous assholes.
Feel exactly the same as an american. No one here wanted to get involved. It defies party lines, literally no one wants it. We had the largest protest in our country's history on Saturday and they will do nothing. It wastes billions of our tax dollars while our people can't afford food. Its a couple of dozen people at the absolute top who are pulling the levers here, while ignoring what the people want.
TBH i dont think that those at the top care what you want....
So if you don’t want it, why aren’t you stopping it or trying to overthrow the government? Your biggest protest was 2% or so of the population.
~98% don’t give a shit, they might care about their petrol prices but that’s it. Dead Iranian children and US foreign policy isn’t a deal breaker for them.
yeah, its not a binary bad/good issue and it never has been. Most issues arent, they are about proportion. Islam is poor on womens and gay rights for example, but that doesnt mean any person murdering muslims is simply off the hook because Israel generally does better on those issues (assuming the woman or gay person is not muslim, in which case israel says to murder them)
People these days who claim that Israeli crimes are fine because Muslim countries have problems are victims or perpetrators of Israeli propoganda, all with the net goal of land theft to build a greater israel. All of the middle east's murders and war crimes are about acquiring oil and land theft. And while there may not be any 100% good guys, there are some really really REALLY bad guys, and western governments are siding with the greatest evils in the region.
I can’t think of anyone who thinks any side is good except the brainless sycophants who believe the lies from trump and his Ministry of Truth. Maybe it’s because of my time on Lemmy, but people seem to understand that Iran is shitty, but not shitty enough to manufacture the excuses to do what trump is doing.
the theocratic authoritarian government of Iran is looking like the good guys
It's almost as though Americans have been brainwashed to believe brown people with the wrong religion are inherently evil. And, as a consequence, they find themselves on the side of a genocidal regime that venerates child murder.
It’s an authoritarian theocracy.
Iran murdered Thousands oft protestes a few months ago.
We all know that they don't care about their people.
The bar was on the ground, and magats brought a backhoe.
We watched with disgust as Israel genocided Gaza, but Trump watched it and said "My turn!"
US is much more involved in the former, and same w Israel in the latter. They aren't exactly taking turns.
It's not "shitty", that's just pure evil. And then the double tap. US is just pathetic on a whole another scale.
And behaving? It's not the first time they've done something like this.
I hope the world never lets them forget all the atrocities they've caused but we know how the pitty patty moral astroturfing, victim blaming, strawman, narcissism, ignorance that appears every time defending it.
What kind of world do we live in that sports players have to make these statements instead of members of government doing whats needed.
Hmm i don't wanna make a statement on the matter.
Brother, that is literally your job.
*Football. American spy, you outed yourself. ;)
Could be a Canadian too haha. We unfortunately inherit some Americanisms here
Americans have been posting those "Before the Shah" photos of women in bikinis for so long. I gotta wonder how they're going to respond to a bunch of dead little gi-
Oh, nope. It's racist slurs. They're just screaming slurs.
First saw those photos on a Reddit post 18 years ago. Always was a weird vibe in the comment section.
How long before Trump and the republicans start shouting and calling themselves victims of this “despicable attack?”
As soon as the players kneel during the anthem.
Those might be backpack nukes. We had to take them out. You can never be too cateful...
A quiet gesture that speaks louder than any statement.
