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

I have a bunch of friends there from college and plenty of them have issues with their government, some of them even live in America now. 100% of them have way more of a problem with Israels genocide than anything their government is doing.

Diva, 26 days ago

You’re the one with the pro-genocide position though, at least from what I can tell from your posts

it very quickly leads into “Every homophobe is a closeted homosexual”, which is some genuinely insane levels of victim blaming when you actually think about it.

I was being intentionally hyperbolic for comedic effect rather than trying to be totally nuanced.

There’s plenty of examples of people who are outwardly liberal being homophobic- it happens all the time towards people who are seen as ‘not on their team’ ie how often Democrats (online, comedians, etc) will mock someone like lindsey graham because he’s a bit queeny.

You also see it when liberals do stuff like portray Putin and Trump kissing because men kissing bad, right?

I get that you’re blue maga, but the worms can’t have totally emptied your brain out if you’re still typing. My pronouns are right there.

Thanks.

To your post I absolutely do blame Biden for covid being around: he was the one who ended all the pandemic protections because he wanted to return to normal because it was politically expediant- even if it was the wrong public health choice.

He ended all the payouts which were started under trump because they were “overheating” the economy.

Like Trump sucks but at least he can be bullied into stuff like the covid unemployment payouts.

At least the blue magas were pretending to care then, before it was time to declare “back to normal” so that they can reduce the social security liability more by getting people killed needlessly.

Not even remotely enough, good God this is what happens when the bar is on the floor, people just vomit out useless statistics like they’re actually making a difference

I think we both agree that it’s not enough- where we disagree is how credible an alterative Biden is, because you’ve dramatically oversimplified things in his favor in your metaphor. I’m not going to torture that metaphor any further as a response because I’m opposed to unnecessary cruelty on general principle.

The reality is Biden has been the one continuing the Trump trade war shit on China. If this is really something you people are taking seriously why is he tariffing EVs and solar panels rather than doing whatever is necessary to meet our goals? I’m not exactly a free market girl, but American industry is not being served by these actions, and any subsidies handed to these industries immediately turn into stock buybacks. Something needs to fundamentally change and that’s off brand for you guys.

re: student loan shit, I also think that wasn’t enough because the ‘academic industry’ needs to be razed to the ground and nationalized. And yes that includes all the stupid ‘ivy leagues’

I’ll believe that domestic manufacturing when I see it, frankly. Democrats are big on promising things which haven’t happened yet. Ie how you’re taking credit for lowering emissions 2-6 years into some future presidents term

I’m not claiming Trump is better, they’re both genocidal, old, sex pests (being generous), and supported by their own legions of unquestioning followers.

At this point after letting Israel run wild it’s hard to give them much credit for finally dialing it back. They could have simply not continued to send weapons, but they chose to do so. Now they show up with ‘aid’ like that somehow makes them not complicit in all the killing that’s already been happening.

Recall what brash thing Trump did that really tanked the JCPOA? it was assassinating Suleimani with a drone strike. Here you’ve got American weapons being used to murder entire families, and are acting like you’re on higher ground than these other guys because the murder is being done by colonial proxies rather than obviously American hands.

Can you see why people are a little bit annoyed by that and not consoled by your lectures about how because Biden is ‘less bad’ in debatable ways than Trump he is somehow worth empowering? When your only defense of the slaughter he allowed/insisted on is to expound on how in your imagination Trump is worse.

You realize that not everybody else resides in the realm of your imagination?

Diva, 26 days ago (edited 26 days ago)

You’re talking like an LLM

in link 1 I said that at least Trump can be bullied, because the outcome of the CARES act and other pandemic relief was actually good.

in link 2 I said that Trump is better because at least with him in charge even complete drones like you can understand the state he’s a part of is worth opposing.

The fact that you opted to gloss over that from my previous statements, and boil it down to “Trump better than Biden”, does not indicate to me you are actually picking up on anything I’m saying beyond looking for an opportunity to regurgitate something about how you view your team as slightly better than the other team.

Diva, 26 days ago (edited 26 days ago)

“Somewhat cruel” is an incredible spin to put on the first genocide being broadcast around the clock like this.

Those are our weapons being supplied to do terrible things and people have a right to be upset.

Honestly it’s incredible that you are trying to do a lesser-evil kids in cages routine with me in the face of the tens of thousands of dead kids and their families in Gaza. Biden was desperately sending weapons to Israel while everyone could see what was happening with it. That is why people are upset and trying to paint it as ‘single issue voters’ being blind to the bigger evil is kind of ringing hollow.

Diva, 26 days ago (edited 26 days ago)

You keep characterizing the role Biden is playing in this genocide as “not doing enough to prevent some different person from doing” and while garbled, it belies a tremendous dishonesty.

Biden has bypassed congress to get weapons to Israel numerous times, he had it bundled with must-pass legislation and this entire situation was made non-negotiable by his own hands.

By trying to apologize for his complicity to the point of badgering people to vote your party you implicate yourself in these crimes.

I suggest you do some introspection on how you write off the lives of tens of thousands of people because in my opinion you’re making it very clear that ultimately you see some lives as expendable. As a potential coalition partner in your voting block that doesn’t give me hope that if protecting my rights became politically inconvenient that we also wouldn’t be written off in such a way.

Diva, 26 days ago

That’s what I mean, you’ve written them off as “going to die by our hand anyways” and expect me to want to be complicit too, it’s not a great motivator, nor does it inspire loyalty.

It’s me the Russian bot showing up to badmouth dear leader, I gotta be real with you though, nobodies paying me to post on a fucking random ass lemmy instance.

Diva, 26 days ago

Yeah lots of anti-Bidens. Totally Russian trolls.

This you?

Diva, 26 days ago

those damn foreigners, always meddling.

can you see why we call you blue maga?

Diva, 26 days ago

You seem paranoid, to put it mildly. "We " being the people who aren’t bought into the whole qanon thing you have going.

Diva, 26 days ago

I’m not the one typing your messages buddy, sorry if I’m giving you Havana syndrome. Maybe do some introspection.
