Yeah watching Iran and Israel fight I don't really feel bad for either side. Does suck for the civilians in the middle though.

Every country is fucked now. There are no heroes, only victims and victimizers.

reactionaries. they can't handle nuance, only oppositional tribes.

It's not so much cheering on Iran, but not giving a shit about Israel. Like, Israel just attacked Iran, they reap what they sow.

Everybody sucks in this conflict.

You guys also realize gay people in Gaza are also persecuted, right?

In this conflict I learned to take no side, except the one of the victims who didn't ask to be involved.

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

ofcourse i do. our cops are racists thugs and i detest them. but in a fight between them and some serial pedophile child murderer, no doubt i will be cheering for the cops and handing them redbull until the pedophile is dead.

and israel is exactly that, they find joy in murdering an innocent family for fun and then block/bomb medical aid so that injured kids die a painful death. if they survive somehow then they do their best to starve them to death.

That's not a justification, Israel is also killing Iranian gay people...

L take dude. I'm cheering the trump elon beef too but I hate both those freaks.

I personally dislike it because civilians will die over it but maybe less than if they didn't fight back and show isreal consequences? Idk I'm just an idiot. But fuck the leaders tho.

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

Genocide executioners vs LBGTQ haters...

I don't think either strikes were good, but I do think that there's a double standard, Israels strikes were fine, but Iran's aren't?

So then what we have here is a conflict between unrepentant, even gleeful genociders, and a bigoted theocratic terrorist state... I mean. They're the same picture.

You're trying to whatabout the unjustifiable barbarism of the Israeli state Zionists who are hell bent on tying practicing Jews and the diaspora to their psycopathic crimes against humanity. Whether you realize it or not.

is this the definition of a straw man argument?

No one is cheering for "Iran". They are cheering for a country standing up for itself against an aggressive colonizing force bent on expansionism through violent actions currently engaged in unwarranted genocide.

It's pretty "funny" the amount of people who imagine this as some "foreign conflict" between "two sides", when it's a direct continuation of USAian imperialism. It's not surprising that brainwashed libs are hating on an "official enemy". Libs and their politicians have supported these attacks on Iran for decades.
