    that’s just me in my normal everyday state 🖕

    How sad for you

    And I won’t argue from a standpoint that’s not mine.

    Oh cool, so you don’t support US-backed color revolution in Iran after all?

      How sad for you

      I’m fine with it 😊

      Oh cool, so you don’t support US-backed regime change in Iran after all?

      Iranian people don’t want that, they are aware of the ramifications of their actions, and I’m not arrogant enough to believe my pale ass knows better than them from the confines of my shithole western country.

        You seemingly don’t know better, judging by how eager you are to support the exact same imperial ventures with the thinnest possible coat of “this is totally what the people of the country we’re targeting want bro” paint slapped on. Were you also posting about how “Venezuelans are celebrating” earlier this year?

        How are Lybia and Syria doing?

          I listen to people. People say what they want. I say “these people want that”.

          I listened to Venezuelans. Venezuelans pro or anti Maduro overwhelmingly said they didn’t want that. I say “Venezuelans didn’t want that”.

          Kill the yank inside of you please.

          Edit: Fuck, I’d respect you more if you could admit that there’s a grassroots movement going on in Iran right now, but that it doesn’t align with what you think is the best move in the geopolitical game.

              Accented Proxies: Imperialist Weaponisation Of Diaspora Voices

              Interesting! But I genuinely make it a point to listen to people living inside the country. Iran in this case. And go out of my way to find texts that are seldom translated into any language I could read more easily. I appreciate how fortunate I am to have easily accessible translation tools; they help break that big educational barrier between my underclass ass and the world.

              Citations Needed podcast

              It’s in my AntennaPod playlist.

              The blueprint of regime change operations

              I’d say this doesn’t teach me anything I wasn’t aware of, but it’s a good nonetheless.

              “Why Don’t You Criticize Iran??”

              Sorry but no.

            Nice line of bullshit, very convenient for your western leftist imperial pretenses of solidarity. Unfortunately, recent history has shown these pretenses to be exactly as anti-imperialist as the bloodthirsty empire they ultimately serve, which is why you desperately avoid acknowledging Lybia and Sryia. Just a shot in the dark: I’m guessing you also support the nazi puppet government in Ukraine.

            Did regime change in Lybia and Syria make life better for the people there, or worse? You try to avoid this question like the plague, and I won’t let you.

              Ukrainian people actually. I’d like them to not have a boot on the neck, whoever wears it.

              You avoid this question like the plague, and I won’t let you.

              And I won’t give you satisfaction, as hard as you may type 🤷‍♀️

                “Teehee you can’t make me face the consequences of my ideology!”

                You run from the mention of Lybia and Syria because you’re fully aware that taking even a cursory look at the outcome of what you support reveals you to be both full of shit and an intellectual coward🤷‍♂️

                  You avoid acknowledging the grassroots movement in Iran because it would make you a bad big poopoo 🤷‍♀️

                  We’ll reach double rainbow soon at this rate.
