Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Why is your situation different to the situation of Iranian women or queer people?
You are targeted yes. I understand and agree with that (me too btw). So are they by the Iranian government. And yet you support Iran who murder and oppress millions under an anti-imperialist position but won't support someone that says the word woke despite their actions being actively good for the cause and side we're on and that supporting them might lead to more of the same?
These principles are not consistent.
First of all, you assume my support for Iran is some blanket thing like I'm out here hitting the mat five times a day. My support for Iran has always been a critical thing focused on little else but the destruction of the illegitimate settler-colony in the Middle East. It profits me nothing to align myself IN ANY WAY WITH THE CASTE THAT STILL OPPRESSES MINE IN MY OWN FUCKING COUNTRY.
You may as well ask me to fight for the soul of this soulless nation next to a fucking klansman; as such, I'm fucking done with this conversation. This is the most rank cracker shit I've ever had to read on this godforsaken forum; and anything else I can say about either this situation or what I think of you would fall under the concept of 'fedposting'.
You are no comrade of mine if this is what your understanding of Amerikan theory looks like. Once again, you mfers showing and proving why I only organize with Black formations.
I'm not american.
"You may as well ask me to fight for the soul of this soulless nation next to a fucking klansman" yeah, that's what a lot of Iranians say also say when I talk to them too. In fact, I've seen this statement from an Iranian verbatim before.
...Hol up, so you mean to tell me a foreigner WHO AIN'T EVEN LIVE HERE TO KNOW WHAT IT REALLY IS, is telling me to get on the line with a motherfuckin techbro reactionary!?
Girl, bye. Wisdom been chasing you fifty fuckin miles now, and you left that heaux in the dust with the shocks and the fuckin muffler if you don't get out my fuckin inbox
