Political Memes

Purity politics needs to end. Some of you MFs need to learn strategy, and play a game like Civ. If Iran harasses Israel, bully for us. Two of the worst people we know are now fighting, we should celebrate this reprieve.

Is the Iran regime bad? Yes. Are they colonial outpost that is actively committing genocide? No. Are the Iranian people settlers like the Israelis? No.

Who is dragging the US into war with Iran and potentially WW3? Israel.

Does this help maybe?

It’s called critical support. I can support both Iran’s self-defense from genocidal maniacs while simultaneously criticizing them for their human rights abuses. It’s something that people with a functioning brain can do - hold two ideas in their head at once.

Besides, Israel has killed more gay people in the last year just through sheer numbers of the people they’ve exterminated than Iran has ever.

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.

America literally executes Down's people.

So now what? We're supposed to cheer on Israel, who literally starves children, because sometimes Iran does things as bad as we do?

Twist your brain more into a pretzel, why don't you.

Ay yes, Iran, so progressive

Yes this is what the Iranian government y'all god-damn mental broads are cheering on does

Disgusting

Yeah, when a country persecutes queer people they lose the right to defend themselves from countries building weapons caches in their boarders. Then using those caches to blow up civilians.

That's why I'm in favour of bombing London and Florida.

Do you see how fucking stupid you are?

What about Israel, a country that literally executes an entire nation of people, the Palestinians?

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

yeah yeah let's go war! morons. USA executes poor people, gay or not. how is that for equality and representation?

The issue is that you're acting as if the people who were always in favour of the Iranian government wouldn't have cheered anyways, and that people just turned "pro iran" after they bombed Israel, when that is clearly not the case.

You are going to see people who are in favour of the Iranian government cheer on, but that doesn't mean that they are people who weren't in favour of the Iranian regime suddenly turned pro Iranian government.

Is it possible they are both just very very bad?

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.

Eh, one side is committing genocide, has been ethnically cleansing Palestinian, continually attacking neighboring countries, and effectively murdering gay people as well (do you think the 2000 pound bombs make an exception for gay people?) and the other side is a theocracy with all the flaws that come with that. When it comes down to it, Israel is far, far worse than Iran. You can support parties you're critical of.

Me when a guy in a white supremacist administration makes a nazi salute and the ADL goes "no, it wasn't"

Me when an interest group which for decades has cried out against genocide and targeted ethno-religious persecution actively and deliberately proclaims it is going to eliminate an entire ethno-religious group from a large area of land

Me when people are defending that

I'm not cheering for either of them and wish they both get what they deserve.
