The only problem is that felon 47 isn't going to fight. Innocent americans are going to get killed and that disgusting psychopath is going to spit on their graves.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago

Yeah it will indiscriminately hurt Iranians and Americans and not our rulers. We were both already suffering under our leaders before the American government decided to go to war with Iran.

I may need to go reread Jingo…

Innocent Americans don't wear the US fascist army uniform.
I will spit on their grave.

So let the downvoting, bootlicking and whitewashing begin.
You'll have to be creative, not this tired garbage:

So the entirety of all branches are all responsible equally. Got it

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 0 points 16 hours ago

Its a pretty childish take. Somehow my statement just wasn't good enough. Not enough black and white. Too much grey.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 0 points 18 hours ago

"I didn't personally bomb weddings or hospitals, I only made a cog for the missile" doesn't excuse them.
So yes, they can all go to hell

He would have to even think about them to do that. I doubt the ground level costs of his actions and choices ever enter his mind in any real way.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

Oh he thinks of them. He thinks of them as trash.

[–] pressanykeynow@lemmy.world -1 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

What innocent Americans are you talking about? If trade ships are attacked, maybe. If it's military personnel, none of them are innocent as they are still "following orders".

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 points 11 minutes ago

So everyone of us is guilty. Fuck you!

Tankie fucktoid alert

[–] guyoverthere123@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Problem?

How many innocent lives have been lost to US military action though out the world?

Collateral damage.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 points 10 minutes ago

Talking about one thing but you want to talk about all the things.

What did Iran do? Seems like all the shitty is on one side.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 22 points 20 hours ago (6 children)

Iran is known for its barbaric treatment of women who refuse the forced muslim dress code. They are a equally corrupt government. No good people involved at the upper levels. SSDD.

[–] head_socj@midwest.social 12 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah good thing the US respects women's autonomy and isn't being strangled by a fundamentalist religious movement that wants to force women to be nothing more than incubators, maids, and fuck toys....😒

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Most of us do respect womens autonomy. I know I taught my daughter that. The loud mouth weaklings don't. They hate that women don't have to spread on command.

[–] head_socj@midwest.social -1 points 16 hours ago

I couldnt give a single flying fuck if "most of you" are such good people that you'd willingly live in a militant feminist matriarchy; the fact is our enemy is not Iran or it's people and you're here patting yourself on the ass for having the literal minimum level of decency expected of a father

[–] Sl00k@programming.dev 2 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Both of you are right but there's definitely levels to how much worse it is in Iran

[–] head_socj@midwest.social -2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Different doesn't necessarily equate to worse. The IR does oppress women, without a doubt; but American society exploits young women's sexuality for financial gain, psychologically manipulates them into prohibitive gender norms that are impossible to achieve without vast amounts of wealth and privilege, and then tells them the most important thing they can aspire to be is mother to a man's offspring.

In short, you, your society, and your government are not as different-and clearly not any better-from any other in the world.

[–] Sl00k@programming.dev 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

A lot of this comment hinges on your belief that US women are not intelligent enough to to understand that exploitation and manipulation. Knowledge has progressed a lot in the last 20 years. Look at the under 18 and 20-24 age groups here

There are much better examples of the subjugation of women in the US right now than to pin the societal oppression on US' fostering of an anti intellectual society.

[–] head_socj@midwest.social 0 points 12 hours ago

I'm curious to hear how you've managed to extract my alleged beliefs that American women are ignorant of their situation from my rhetoric. I can only assume you either severely misinterpreted what I wrote to fit your conclusion, or you're intentionally being provocative to elicit a reaction. Either way, your statistic shows that while younger women are having less children, the women that do pursue parenthood are simply delaying it into their 30s (possibly a function of more demanding careers and increasing inequality)

I'm sure there are more substantial and academic examples that speak to whatever the heck you are trying to say, but the fact remains that the US IS fostering anti-intellectualism as a vector to sow distrust, normalize authoritarian governance, and further undermine American democratic institutions. Deluding yourself into thinking that it's not happening or it's not as bad as it seems is dangerous to women, to immigrants, to trans people, and to the pursuit of scientific knowledge.

Iran has more FEMALE engineers than the US and less of it's population in jail.
Iran's healthcare has been rated excellent by UNICEF.
I could continue, but facts can't win from the propaganda machine online.
So I'm just gonna laugh make fun of it.

[–] Sl00k@programming.dev 0 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

The freedom of both women and the general public is not solely dictated by healthcare and the ability to attain higher education.

Does a free society cut off country wide access to the external internet?

Iran is actively lying to its citizens saying they destroyed the US base in Qatar and there was minimal damage to Iranian nuclear facilities. Both outright lies. This is not a free golden society.

How many women are persecuted from laws around the head dressing and other clothing related issues.

Boiling womens rights down to they can become an engineer and have good healthcare is laughably pathetic and on the verge of being a conservative talking point I would hear on fox news in justification for stripping away more rights. Pinning the struggle of US women against Iranian women is an incredibly pathetic mindset that only fosters negativity.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 0 points 4 hours ago

LOL you're so bad at propaganda.

"The freedom of both women and the general public is not solely dictated by healthcare and the ability to attain higher education"
I never said that, just mentioned one of those still important facts to show they're better than the US of which I could also mention many more horrible facts.

Freedom is also not defined by wearing a heascarf or not.
Neither does your cherrypicking about access to the external internet.
A temporary measure in time of war, is that the best you got?

And just check my comments from yesterday, turns out I was 100% right.

Iran did indeed a symbolic attack on bases evacuated 5 days ago, even reported then and they gave the USSA warning.
I also said Iran needed the symbolic attack to sell to their people as revenge.
As I predicted in that comment the theatre of BOTH symbolic attacks, the USSA one and the Iranian one are over just to get the ultimate goal:
Pissrahell can have its way out of a losing war since the imaginary nuclear threat is imaginary bombed. And what do you know, just after this they have a ceasefire.
Unfortunate actually that Iran let them off the hook.
Was going great and heartwarming images from occupied Palestine.
See, you don't understand geopolitics and its optics.
But then again, that's not your job, spouting(easily debunked)crappy lies and propaganda is.

Amazing what you can learn if you don't only gobble propaganda.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

You sound like you are just sucking on the other propaganda tube.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world -3 points 16 hours ago

One day your mummy will teach you to look up easily verifiable facts, other people can do that already right now and see everything I said was accurate and you're just a weak propaganda tool throwing insults and slander.

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

While there are religious extremists in Iran, their level of influence on Iranian culture is not anywhere near what you’re saying. You’re just repeating western propaganda.

They did have a controversial new dress code law that was supposed to go into effect at the end of last year, but it was blocked for being to extreme and vague.

However, my state just forced a brain dead woman to incubate a baby against the family’s will. So I’m inclined to agree with those saying the religious extremists exercise greater control in the US than Iran, and by your standards that means they should bomb us. Because I guess you think killing people is equal to freeing them.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

You are stretching that one out. I don't support Israel any more than I support Iran. They are both trash.

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world -3 points 18 hours ago

You’re repeating Israeli lies. So you’re either surreptitiously supporting Israel, or you’re serving as a useful idiot.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world -2 points 18 hours ago

Yeah the US/hasbara propaganda tools are out in full force.
Sure this cunt is one of them

[–] MumboJumbo@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

SSDD? Same shit, different dictator - I like it

Solid-State Disk Drive, it's a regular hard drive with the platters hot-glued to stay still

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago

That's right. The platters are heavy, and the reader head is light, so we just whip the reader head around at 7200rpm

[–] pressanykeynow@lemmy.world -2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

So if the US killed those women, problem solved? I don't get your logic.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 points 11 minutes ago

You try using logic. I didn't say anything of the sort. You came up with that yourself.

[–] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world 0 points 18 hours ago

It would get even worse if the regime fall. Just look at iraq, afghanistan, libya, syria

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world -4 points 19 hours ago

LOL
The literal hasbara operative excuse to excuse them for genociding those misanthrophic barbarian Palestinians.
Really, you're all so boring and unimaginative.
Must be tiring defending the many many warcrimes from USSA/pissrahell.
Glad you're getting youe ass kicked and turning into Gaza yourself, it warms my heart.
