    I think that is ever more clear to people in civilized democracies that these barbarians, the so called “Israelis” are a blight on the world and their only reason for existence is causing pain and destruction.

    Even tough I’m an avid dreamer of peace, and to never see a war again trough the TV in my life, I’m starting to think that Iran Dropping some nukes in that hideous territory would be intensely positive for the world.

    I’m a bit conflicted about it as well because I don’t want a single fucking dime going to the IRGC.

    On the other hand we cannot concede the strait of Hormuz to them.

    On the other other hand, obviously a dumb war to have and fuck Israel for taking advantage of it.

      I don’t want a single fucking dime going to the IRGC.

      This isn’t a pay-out: it’s reparations for wanton destruction via sloppy bombing.

      1. Keep in mind it’s not a dime they’re getting, but a dime they’re getting back.
      2. Regardless of how we feel about the regime, the just decision is reparations (and a war crime tribunal) since this is about who we are and not about whom they are. Unfortunately, human rights is the baseline for interaction that extends to terrible people just like good people because they’re people.

        Everything that happened to the IRGC themselves was deserved. While I think the Iranian citizens need some aid to build back hospitals and civilian targets struck by the malicious Israelis and incompetent Trump admin, I don’t have the confidence that it will be properly allocated to them by the corrupt and brutal IRGC, nor should we allow the IRGC to take credit for any such reconstruction because it will inevitably lead more violence and destruction down the road.

        Jokes aside I think Trump is an incompetent buffoon who has only helped the IRGC hold power. The smart play would have been arming and empowering the rebels with food and medical supplies.

            It couldn’t go worse than continued IRGC rule.

            A while back Tankie complained to me about taking Ghadafi out (which is kind of the same problematic tactic of not supporting a resistance capable of replacing them) because now Libya is stuck an anarchy with human slavery…

            But the thing is, Ghadafi started the human slavery trade in Libya.

                I have been pretty consistent that the Trump admin is the aggressor against Cuba, but I am a strong advocate that in order to save Cuban lives from suffering and death we need to deescalate which had been up to that the opposite stance of Cuban leadership holding rallies to celebrate the Castros and publicly declaring Cuba’s willingness to go to war.

          I’m not a tankie nor do I like China, but this is whataboutism. It’s perfectly reasonable to talk about for example, Iranian victims of the US, Iranian victims of the government of Iran, Palestinian victims of Israel, Uyghur victims of China or Ukrainian victims of Russia in separate conversations.

          When you bring China into a reasonable question about US responsibility for war crimes in Iran, it’s a bad look no matter who you’re talking to.

            Resisting? Is that what they were doing when they were sending Hamas to attack a music festival which resulted in an Israeli war on Palestine and hundreds of thousands of palestinian lives lost? Is that what they do in Egypt and Lebanon? In Iraq? Resisting through random death and destruction in the name of their god?

            FUN FACT: More people died from IRGC killing protestors than this war agains the USA.

            Iranians might be victims but the perpetrators are the IRGC.

              sending Hamas to attack a music festival

              Facts:

              Hamas wouldn’t exist if Israel didn’t have a policy of killing children, as all of Hamas’ founding members had child family members killed by Israel.

              Hamas did not attack a music Festival, Hamas attacked the homes of Military Officers and had a preplanned route Israeli intelligence knew about, which went through the relatively spontaneous music festival which was allowed to go forward despite Israeli intelligence knowing about the planned attack route.

              Most deaths from the music festival were not from Hamas, but Israeli helicopter fire.

              Most property damage from the raid was not from Hamas, but from Israeli rocket fire.

              Is that what they do in Egypt and Lebanon? In Iraq? Resisting through random death and destruction in the name of their god?

              Facts:

              This isn’t a religious war. Palestine held more Christians and non-zionist Jews than Israel as of 2014. There are plenty of Christian members of Hamas and other resistance groups.

              FUN FACT: More people died from IRGC killing protestors than this war agains the USA.

              Facts:

              This is misinformation. Disinformation at worst. While the “30k protestors” number, like the 400 gabrazillion dead in holodomor number is popular, it is entirely and totally made up. Most international observers have settled closer to the IRGC’s estimate of less than 3k armed revolutionaries dead, than the ridiculous 30k number.

              But even if it were 30k, the US and Israel have killed more people during this war. The genocide of Lebanon has been severely under reported in the west, but current early estimates are at 100k defenseless civilians dead, with entire historic villages fully wiped out.

              Iranians might be victims but the perpetrators are the IRGC.

              Facts:

              The US and Israel unilaterally started this war. This includes planting the revolutionaries in Iran that started the precipitating protests.

              The revolutionaries in Iran were directly funded and armed by the US, as admitted by Trump.

              Iran has a right to nuclear defense of its people.

            It was lost in the cold war and has been controlled by the eastern bloc ever since. The IRGC dictatorship, which is responsible for more Iranian civillian casualties than this pointless war is, are empowered solely by military support from China and Russia. All of their guns and munitions come from there.

              Okay maybe I was too vague. I want people like FiniteBanjo to suffer serious harm because they support bombing of people on the other side of the world for bullshit reasons (there are very few non-bullshit reasons to bomb people on the other side of the world). It just happens that the form of politics-based harm most likely to befall FiniteBanjo is that a fascist throws them into a concentration camp for being a liberal, and if that were to happen and I somehow learned of it my reaction would be schadenfreude because fuck people who support bombing people on the other side of the world. I don’t want people to be imprisoned with the charge of supporting imperialism; I just believe assholes who support imperialism deserve bad things to happen to them and was naming a plausible-ish bad thing of what I believe to be the appropriate magnitude.

              You must be new here, don’t pay too much mind to it, the Tankies, supporters of eastern bloc autocratic regimes, are a lot fewer in number than they appear but they have a coordinated and well funded operation on the Fediverse including bots and alt accounts.

              Whenever you see a fast inconsistent number of votes, always assume it is manipulated.

              The entirety of the Lemmy platform is maintained by Tankies such as Dessalines, which run the ML instance and closely coordinate with Lemmygrad and Hexbear to spread pro-Russian and pro-Chinese propaganda. That is why I use Piefed.

            That’s an excellent point and a worthy topic of discussion. But it’s a little extraneous to this one, and can come off as some whataboutism if discussed here. Keep that thought, and let’s talk about it if we can get a template from this that can then be applied to them.

            Sure thing, if Cuba and Venezuela disavows China and cuts off all military ties to them then I’m willing to agree to reconstruction terms and favorable trades. Let’s do that.

            Likewise, I would fully support free US subsidized food aid, healthcare, and education for the Iranians if and when the IRGC is permanently removed from power and all Russian and Chinese assets are disposed of.
