Obama when there’s a hospital: “uh, let me bomb here”

As a Russian bot /tankie/woke/whatever for the next pejorative is: I’m planning on voting for Biden because Putin told me to.

Most self-aware freikorps supporter, if you’re a social Democrat you’re just announcing to everyone that you are going to be predisposed to trying to accommodate fascism abroad if it means you personally get healthcare and economic benefits.

Could have fooled me, these are the same people cheering on the Democrats while they enabled this genocide in Gaza. They’re oh so progressive and worried about minorities, unless you’re from a designated enemy country In which case they’re goose stepping with the rest of the Americans.

Making a distinction without a difference. You’re also acting like there’s some vast landscape of democratic and/or socialists out there, just waiting to spring into power. That might be true, (I doubt it) but if your position on the most important question: “Do we continue to feed innocent bystanders into the war machine” is something you all have in common you’re gonna get painted with the same brush as the rest of the more national socialists.

I certainly hope they wouldn’t because it’s really silly and doesn’t seem very effective

edit:

I thought of one!

Now excuse me while I ragepost like a dozen stale memes about those damn literary Karens running free libraries as virtue signalling in racist petite bourgeois suburbs!

America has the largest prison population in the world, including “authoritarian” countries several times our size.

Aren’t you guys the ones super mad about meddling in other peoples governments? That’s the whole reason you’re you’re mad at Putin with Trump, what about you doing it makes it less bad? is this a case of ends justify the means?

And spending your energy defending bloodthirsty dictatorships elsewhere, apparently. :)

You’re the one rageposting that the people who don’t support your genocide are not voting for your team this election

Diva, 25 days ago

So now the Mahsa Amini protests were caused by Western meddling? Fucking lmao.

you had said:

Glad you agree that the Islamic Republic is a murderous regime that deserves to be toppled

so my later response was:

Aren’t you guys the ones super mad about meddling in other peoples governments? That’s the whole reason you’re you’re mad at Putin with Trump, what about you doing it makes it less bad? is this a case of ends justify the means

If it happens from people internally having their political will recognized then that’s a good thing.

If it happens from a military intervention like with Afghanistan and Iraq, (or with a bunch of state department ghouls dumping money on ISIS for terrorist attacks) that’s a bad thing.

I could make fun of you for struggling with reading, but this is clearly bad faith- You made a call to action that I was pointing out doesn’t really mean that you end up with any less of a dictatorship. I mean the Taliban is back in control in Afghanistan after America lost that conflict.

You seem completely incapable of nuance, which is hilarious considering how mad you get at people no supporting your choice of genocidal corpse president.

you have ‘Iranian friends’ who are concerned about the Palestinian genocide (how that changes their mind on the Islamic Republic, I’m not quite sure)

Let me paint you a picture- I remember freshman year having my roommate tell me he was “Persian” and he seemed straight up embarrassed by the Islamic republic - he was even in Iran visiting family during 2022 for those protests and was helping get people out of prison.

After ~November 2023 and the obvious genocide starting in Gaza he started going to protests against it- and was shocked at how the liberals he was friends with immediately turned on him and started producing absolutely horrifying rationalizations justifying Israels actions (I saw this play out in our group chat)

He often vents to me how in his expat whatsapp groups there’s always people (often from incredible wealth) who are absolutely fixated on wanting to ‘topple’ the government to the exclusion of all other issues, including the genocide that has killed orders of magnitude more people outright than Iranian state repression.

You seem fixated on the idea that we worship these governments and it really seems like projection, especially considering how defensive you get over the US government and its wanton destruction.

Sorry that you’re so eager for genocide and mass sexual violence here under a Christian Republic in the same Abrahamic vein as Iran’s current government, but I don’t really see the relevance?

Look I voted for Hillary last time, you clearly don’t need my vote this time.

you were just WhatAbouting the Islamic Republic’s mass murder and sexual violence against protesters

This is the part where you just make shit up so I have to spend time responding. You are the one trying to browbeat people into approving your teams genocide.

Diva, 25 days ago

The part I pointed out the issue with was the implied “and we should do something about it”. You said “and this is why they must be toppled” - which implies that somebody should do something. When the entirety of recent history has been the US trying to meddle with other governments and collectively punishing the people who live there with sanctions, if not outright invading them, shock and awing their infrastructure, and setting up a government for a former expat to run.

You are just trying to flatten everything to extremely recent events, it don’t hold up to scrutiny otherwise.

Diva, 25 days ago

I mean we do agree that internal political will being met is good, so how about moving on to where we disagree: Bidens genocide and why you’re so insistent everyone else approve of it.

Diva, 25 days ago

You have such a fascinating approach to argument, it’s like creative writing where you just make shit up and refuse to address anything directly lmao

Diva, 24 days ago

Yeah, the Islamic Republic is awful literally every Iranian person I know agrees on that, and it sucks that America meddled in their government for so long before it. Hopefully something that isn’t a western puppet government takes its place and actually represents the people.

Diva, 25 days ago

By “actual Iranians” are you referring to the monarchist expats or people who actually live there? jw

Diva, 25 days ago

Personally my vote is for red triangling the metaphorical trolley

You can still use the lever clearly, simply flip the lever after one axle of the train has passed over the switch, but before the other axle has. This will force a derailment.

Diva, 25 days ago

It’s probably not going to be good, but it’s going to be better than what happens to the people on the tracks.

Diva, 25 days ago

Don’t worry I’m sure you’ll figure out reading between the lines eventually.

Diva, 25 days ago

I’ll make sure to let you know the time and location officer 🫡

Diva, 25 days ago

To be clear, yeah it’s for trying to browbeat people into supporting Biden, and how he treats it as a forgone conclusion that the settlers are going to get their land.

I have zero confidence in your ability to pressure democrats, I already spent most of the Iraq war and Obamas terms getting told to fuck off because I was antiwar by my democratic reps not sure why they would suddenly have a change of heart now.
