Iran has been fucked over by the US/UK since the 50s. They are what they are now because of the US. They’re absolutely the victims of oppression. The argument about people not wanting to be perceived as pro-iran is real, but doesn’t fully explain it because zionists and US media have painted Palestinians and “hamas” with that same brush and fear of being perceived as being pro “terrorist” has also played a role there for decades.

In both cases, they’re simply defending themselves. They’re not doing anything the US wouldn’t do if it was being attacked and invaded. One man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter.

As far as why Americans suddenly care about ethnic cleansing and genocide in Palestine and are willing to be identified as supporting that struggle, despite it having been ongoing even longer than US meddling in Iran, is mostly due to decades of independent media strategies employed to force Americans to look at it. Famous mainstream people are finally behind it. It’s hip now.

Also Gaza is tiny so the concentration of crimes against humanity is denser. Iran being able to defend itself presents a real cost to attacking them, leading to this mostly being a stand-off, and 150 school girls getting blown up is a far cry from 20000 children in Gaza.

Hopefully he’ll be the one wearing a blindfold.

Soon, everyone will always have been against ethnic cleansing of Palestinians!!

I mean it’s good that consciousness is growing but it could have come 78 years sooner…

Probably worth considering that passengers on such a flight might not all be Zios on a trip to a shopping mall with indoor ski resort. Palestinians, aid workers, journalists… Plenty could have been victims here.

The Omani co-pilot did the stabbing and another pair of pilots who happened to be onboard landed…

This is pure truth masquerading as a shitpost.

You know, if he’s willing to take a bullet for it I say give him the Kennedy center.

Just a shit country…

It’s a violation of house ethics rules. Hypocrisy aside, its just simply against the rules of a body who’s purpose is to make the laws that govern the rest of us. No tolerance or excuses for that.

A long time ago, maybe just after he was elected gov after being SF mayor, Bill Maher suggested to Gavin that he should run for president some day. Gavin said strenuously that he never would. He said “who wants that, that’s the worst job in the world” (I’m paraphrasing slightly from 15 years ago when I still watched that piece of shit.)

I can’t find the clip anywhere, it’s been completely scrubbed from the internet, but I remember it clearly as I had lived in SF while he was Mayor. Kamala was DA then and was a nasty one. Both of them need to STFU.

If this young man was in a rational state of mind he wouldn’t have thrown himself under a semi. It’s fine and correct to recognize the driver was a victim, but pointless to critique someone having a literally suicidal mental crisis.

Solipsism is real amongst the fediverse shit posters

Value and price are not the same thing. The president of the US is one of the biggest losers on the planet, yet he’s successful if you measure him only by vapid qualities such as his title and success as a Grifter. Elon Musk, literally the richest person alive, is also a major creep. Are people who don’t support them losers because they failed at fighting the good fight?

Lol getting moderated on the fediverse for paraphrasing Thomas Jefferson is pretty special.

Say what you want about Roger, but he didn’t want to be an American. He left, he didn’t come back, and the rules for dealing with people who leave are very arguably unfair and unreasonable. The fact that the Trump regime is corrupt isn’t really his fault. He actually is a true believer in non-violence. If I were him, I’d have used the money to water the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants.

Low quality comment

Good riddance.

Trump whitewashed the President’s House site so thoroughly that he had to slap forced-labor tariffs on Switzerland just to balance the books. Looks like Barron’s lanky ass is spending his summer in Geneva, doing 14-hour shifts in the Swiss chocolate mines.

Bad news for you. USA has always been genocidal maniacs. Israel is simply the forward base of operations.

Everybody knew what you meant and it’s what we always called them because it’s made of lightweight t-shirt material. Also, this was how we dressed in the mid/late 90s. By the 2000s I was transitioning from jnco’s to diesel and prada. From the 2010s onward I’ve given progressively less of a shit and everything is just a range of old t-shirts that don’t have too many holes in them or something somebody gave me on my birthday…
