Crazy that both these countries exist in the way that they do because of the us

Its almost like that should be taught in school. Iran was one of the nations subject to a CIA orchetrated coup because they wanted to nationalize their oil reserves.

But since its not relevant to vibe coding I doubt it'll make it into the curriculum.

Iran is killing civilians in Ukraine. Iran can burn.

One genocides a subjugated population, the other exterminates queer folks

Just let them have their squabble, walk away, do not touch, discourage others from approaching, bad time for all

America needs to back off and not get involved

America needs to back off and not get involved

Luckily our commander in chief is already busy fighting wars against Canada, Greenland, Panama, and the United States.

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.

literally executes

Is there a non-literal way to do that?

Is it possible to cheer an action but not the actor?

Like, if someone swims out to save a drowning kid but it turns out they were only there to dump a dead body, can I still be glad they saved the kid?

Iran does bad things, yet you cheer their actions. Curious. - Charlie Kirk

I think a lot of people are glad that Israel is actually attacking somebody who can fight back now instead of more innocent defenseless children in their open air death camp.

Same when people started calling Hamas "freedom fighters".

I refuse to believe these people are really tbh. Or they're just mentally deranged vocal minority

I was just banned from world news by @geneva_convenience for daring to voice this outrageous opinion. This conflict is Gilead vs Nazis. Neither side is the 'good guy'. Whoever wins, freedom and equality loses.

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

Listen, years ago I rode with Juárez against Emperor Maximilian. I lost many chickens but I thought it was worth it to be free. When Porfirio became President, I supported him – but he stole my chickens. Then came Huerta and he stole my chickens. Then it was Carranza’s term, and he stole my chickens too. Now comes Pancho Villa to liberate me and the first thing he does is steal my chickens.(…) What makes one different from the others? My chickens don’t know. All over the world revolutions come and go. Presidents rise and fall. They all stole your chickens. The only thing to change is the name of the man who takes them.

―Old Man in Pueblo, Young Indiana Jones

Or for a more modern version

The common people pray for rain, healthy children, and a summer that never ends. It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace: They never are.
