Repugnant comments in response to someone comparing Iran to Ghorman. Libs truly cannot have a modicum of humanity with the third world. These same people will say "don't let perfect be the enemy of good" when asking you to support the people who bombed Gaza to rubble. A LOT of Ukraine flag bio posting in there as well. People saying Ukraine is the real perfect victim cause their government has never hurt anyone. Yeah 8 years of bombing schools and arming literal nazis was just nothing, just epic wholesome shit. They want to pretend to be anti-fascist cause they watched a show, but they will worship actual fascists in a second

I said at the time that the choice to make the Ghor French-coded belied the fact that they couldn't imagine making audiences empathize with "imperfect" victims or even minority coded victims.

It is a dead-end, not radicalism or a call to action. These people jack off to "I have friends everywhere" signs cause they recognize a fellow consumer, but they will not recognize the legitimacy of states opposing the west.

Imagine even, say, a few hundred protesters dying here. What would be the reaction? It would be quite large. It would be talked about a lot, even if they were, like, J6 type protesters. People wouldn't sweep the event under the rug and pretend it didn't affect anything.

What conversations do you wish were happening that aren’t?

I think it’s a very interesting conversation about what it means, within a humanistic project, to support a government that killed a bunch of people who you plausibly would have been among if you had been born there.

What is humanism? Killing families is bad, I still don’t forsake the red army for decisions made when under attack. Every anti imperial project in history has killed people, the IRI has its fair share of blood that I wouldn’t personally approve of. Nevertheless, Zionism must be eradicated and they’re the ones doing it, while the rioters are armed by the Zionists. I know where I stand

Imagine if a bunch of sinagoged got firebombed, people wouldn't simpatjize with the protesters.
