Fuck is no place safe from bloody politics.
Killing children was great until it got all political.
Focusing on emotionally triggering topics like “killing children” is exactly the kind of framing that makes political thought, analysis, and discussion impossible.
War is horrible, yes. However if you remain in an emotionally triggered state, you are unable to understand and Analyse and are an easy target for manipulation.
Why do you think, we get this destroyed school and the blood spread on international media, while there was very little to see from the massacres Iran enacted on the protesters the last couple of weeks? It’s the Iranian regime fighting the media war, distracting from their own cruelty and pointing at others. Do you really want to support their efforts?
I agree that we should question and think critically.
Killing anyone should be emotionally charging.
I'm working on helping some Iranians release videos on the regime killing civilians.
The killing of civilians is wrong, especially when done in a "precision strike". The US military should be held accountable for this.
These children were killed in a pre-emptive strike before there was a "war". Even if the school was in the middle of an Iranian military base, the school did not need to get bombed.
For context, the above user is a Zionist. They support whatever actions Israel or the US might take, so long as they advance the goal of Israeli ethnonationalism and racial supremacy.
Everything is politics and truth is the first victim of war.
No, not everything has to have politics shoved down it throat.
Especially places that aren’t US centric, nor allow politics. Fuck off.
Everything is politics. The only way to avoid politics is to completely remove yourself from society. Sorry it hurts your feelings to see, but that's the reality of it, so get over it.
There are less political topics though. Of course you can make arguments about the politics of breathing or wearing a watch, but it’s not commonly done.
your government appreciates your inattentiveness and lack of empathy for the suffering of your fellow man.
No not actively. However it will have influence whether you want or not.
And I wasn't talking about the US either.
Your comment is even politics. Shoving things down your throat is politics. Asking for things to not be placed near or in your throat is politics.
Why don't you try looking for a place safe from politics in an Iranian elementary school for girls?
Continue to eat your yam in peace. Never mind the knocking at your neighbours doors.
No. That's kinda the point...
