i will not tell them how to think or feel. the old regime killed their families. the new regime will likely finish the job. iran, israel, the united states. none are working or fighting on behalf of the Iranian people. i will help them as they work to survive, but i will not moralize to them that they’re wrong to feel how they feel about things that impact them directly
Comment on ..?

especially considering that over 100 schoolgirls were murdered in the process.
if a bomb killed 150 children and also took out Trump, I wouldn’t celebrate it

The deaths of children will forever prevent america from being a hero here. So we’ve just created a new enemy, likely a more cunning one than the last.
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
that’s the point. make sure there are always people who hate America with all their soul. so there’s always a justification for the US to be a military state.
Quill7513@slrpnk.net 3 weeks ago
this is largely how we know i live in a terror state. america needs enemies to justify its continued imperial project so it will go out and manufacture them

I would celebrate Trump death but not the 150 children. Gotta learn to compartimentalize and all that, in a complex world.
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
you shouldn’t compartmentalize that operation Epstein has slaughtered 150 schoolgirls. you should be furious.
veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
This world is full of evil, we have to be willing to be what little good we can get for what it is until people start doing really better. If Operation Epstein kills 150 schoolgirls and Trump, I of course won’t be celebrating that 150 schoolgirls are dead, but also I’m not going to lie that Trump dying is the only good thing coming out of that. What, you want me to lament that Trump is dead?

Oh look, an ML user standing up for a dictatorship.

the only dictatorship here is the us empire.

By this logic, then no one should celebrate the death of a serial murder if they are killed by a rapist.
One bad person is dead. That’s good no matter how you cut it. Just cause the shit isnt over and there’s still bad people doesn’t mean we arnt happy things have improved.
If you only ever settle for perfection then you might as well just let the pedos go uncontested. Cause you can’t stop all of them in one go.

one bad person mostly westerners hate is dead, but now the biggest imperialist force is directly bombing, and want to regime change them.
this is not like it’s kissinger dying of old age, or mussolini being lynched. this is fucking war.

He was going to die anyway. Why spend blood and treasure to murder a man who is 86 with a cancer diagnosis? Is critical thinking absent in our Pentagon? Yeah, lets get rid of this mullah… there are over a hundred other mullahs to take over for him. This is an established regime that has been in place for 50 years. 1 in 8 citizens in Iran work for the government… over 94 million population.

There’s already a war against them by their own government that’s killed over 30,000 Iranians since late December. Civilians are being slaughtered either way, but this way means that maybe the Ayatollahs won’t be in power at the end.
umbrella@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
why would anyone celebrate this at all is my question.
Lucelu2@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Have you not learned from Iraq? There is always another mullah. Al Quida was replaced by ISIS. WTF are we involved with the ME anymore? I mean, all those ME nations bombed by Iran, who encouraged the US to enter this (besides our welfare state Israel), well where are their fucking militaries? I guess they paid the Trump family off and felt they had hired their military of the US so our sons and daughters can die for those MFs. Need I remind people we send Israel over 3.8 Billion every year from our tax dollars? so… USAID and VOA does not deserve our few millions but Benji gets the billions and more in crisis and now American deaths. For those that cite 19 fucking 79 hostages… understand, our enlisted were not even born yet. They have no memory of that. Also… most were not even born by 1983 either. And the fact is, the federal military policy allowed that shit to happen.
