The people in Iran have a right to express their opinion even if a country somewhere else would be willing to use their expressing their opinion as an excuse to bomb them.

USA bombing Iranians is USA's fault, not the fault of Iranian protesters. And in extension, it is not the fault of people supporting the Iranian protesters. The Iranian leadership is full of shit.

Its common for .ml to not be able to see as two things being bad. They are just anti-west without critical thought. Its pretty clear that a fundamentalist theocratic government is not a good thing, but that is not an endorsement of US interventions.

It's common for .worlders to fence sit and both sides genocide and imperialism by repeating all imperialist propaganda instead of picking the side of the people fighting it.

Identity politics has stripped political movements of all nuance. There is nothing but in-group and out-group, with no ideas and no principles.

The Iranians were free to protest until armed Mossad terror cells started shooting and rioting around the country. The protests had been ongoing peacefully for like 2 weeks. But keeps repeating the atrocity propaganda.

So are you saying that they shouldn't have been allowed to protest? I'm not getting the message here.

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago

The were allowed to protest. They were not allowed to "protest" amidst armed terror rioters.

The “protesters” were mercenaries & rioters led by the CIA & Mossad to kill civilians & police and to seize or set fire to government buildings. It was the standard faux color revolution playbook for regime change that the US has been using since at least the 1980s.

One reason they keep using it is because you keep falling for it.

That's all well and good, but it doesn't actually change the immutable law of cause and effect that was entirely obvious in this case. Doing something that will predictably lead to a bad outcome just because you wish it wouldn't is still a terrible idea

Do I guess right that you also wouldn't allow a woman to walk outdoors in "too sexy clothes"?

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

No. What a deranged thing to say

[-] Tuuktuuk@nord.pub 1 points 1 month ago

Okay, good to hear.

In any case, your argument is almost verbatim what I'm used to hear from people saying so.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

No. It isn't.
