Because when they said “Zionists” what they actually wanted to say was “the Jews?” And I only mean that tiny bit facetiously, because why else do you need to immediately and defensively explain what you meant by that specific imprecise choice of terms unless it’s a dog whistle.
You’re so mad about this, and I can’t figure out why. I’m saying the Iranian government is bad, so when you say this:
Talking about how the Iranian regime “massacres and persecutes their own people” to support the the notion that America is less murderous and to claim that Iran’s actions of self-defense against American bases used to attack Iran in its allied nations around it aren’t justified (which is where this whole thread started) is self-serving tribalist hypocrisy.
It’s a non-sequitur. Nobody was defending the US and the only reason why they even came up is because you mentioned them by way of were praising an objectively awful government. It also occurred to me to ask since you put “massacres and persecutes their own people”,” do you think Iran doesn’t do that? Or is it just inconvenient to acknowledge it while fighting American imperialism online?
I don’t really know what you’re talking about and I strung the suspect that you don’t either.
The Iranian people are victims of their own government , it’s absolute garbage institution and should be destroyed and replaced with something that doesn’t carelessly destroy so many innocent lives. If you care about the Iranian people as you say, I have no idea why you want to condemn them to that hell with silence.
That shit is invariably wheeled out by aggressive, murderous foreign invading regimes (like the ones of American and Russia) to justify doing even more murderous things to the people of a country than those people’s regime ever did to them.
The glib willingness with which to write off all their atrocities with whataboutism and minimization is revolting, people like you are why those regimes continue as long as they do. Believe it or not, you can hate all the shitty governments, even when they’re fighting each other.
Mate, next to both America and Russia, Iran are fucking angels
Please stop. Iran’s government is an authoritarian theocracy with, among other things, a very recent history of massacring and persecuting their own people for protesting said government. They’re absolutely horrible and remain so despite fighting other states with horrible governments.
It’s definitely because many non-disgustingly-rich EU citizens are clamoring for it.
It’s good he’s ok, and I wish the drone pilot’s entire unit a quick and painful death.
Russian authorities denied that the property, which at the time of construction boasted an “aquatic disco,” hookah lounge, casino, pole-dancing room, and a room for miniature railroads, belonged to Putin.
Former KGB colonel turned dictator and international menace chooses to decorate his secret hideout like a Bond villain. Yeah, that’s about right.
In 2024, Russian opposition website “Proekt” claimed that the palace had been refurbished to reflect the Russian president’s newfound fixation with religion, writing: “The renovated version does not feature a casino, a striptease hall, or an arcade room. Instead, it has a chapel housing an icon of Saint Vladimir, Putin’s patron saint.”
And then he got real, real weird.
I should say that I’m just picking on tankies and don’t think it’s remotely fair characterization of the vast majority of leftists.
Who would have guessed that “scratch a liberal, find a fascist,” is more of an admission than an accusation?
In an effort to stabilize domestic supplies, Russia recently imported around 30,000 metric tons of AI-92 gasoline by sea from Morocco, Reuters reported on July 31, citing industry sources. According to the report, the shipment was delivered aboard a Panama-flagged tanker that loaded fuel at the Moroccan port of Tangier in mid-July before arriving at the Arctic port of Murmansk.
All the way to Murmansk? Obviously Novorossiysk is out, but even the Baltic ports aren’t safe? That’s unfortunate.
No, my comment was just a simple and correct factual observation. You just missed the joke.
And part of a university in Belgorod that was developing drone systems. Can’t wait for the “war crimes” concern trolling.
You know you seriously compared industrial scale genocide of civilians with attacking a warehouse during a hot war, right? You said something incredibly stupid and you should just stop.
Marx was a terrible historian with a poor understanding of actual humans and economics, and the fundamental flaws in his work are the primary reason why ML states fail so often.
And warehouse attacks aren’t war crimes, though, so the point is moot.
Some war crimes are worse than others, yes, but they’re still all war crimes.
Maybe but the warehouse attacks aren’t war crimes, so the point is moot.
Of course, a junkie would run once you started fighting back, not stubbornly insist that the future of the junkie people depends on winning the mugging.
People ask themselves how the holocaust happened and at the same time they are ok justifying any sort of atrocities against their enemies
If the Nazis had started the Holocaust because one of the countries they attacked bombed some German warehouses, maybe you’d have a stronger point. Instead, you come across as a dishonest fool.
They also raised tax rates last year, which I think doubled their personal income tax receipts for 2025, and they’ve been auctioning off gold and uncut diamonds. It’s like junkies scrounging for change.
I don’t think you’re remotely antisemitic, or at least nothing I’ve ever seen you write has given that impression. I’m just responding to a response to word in a comment which is getting lost here, to wit:
The person above me asked why they said “Zionist” when they specifically meant Israel, and then I said what I did. I don’t think you even the term “Zionist,” in any of the removed comments, but feel free to correct me.
I really don’t know how I got here, tbh.
