‘Why is the US bombing Iran?’ has got to be one of the most searched prompts on google these past few days. And the closest thing to a current answer you will find is “We attacked them because they were going to have nukes and then use them on us, it’s self-defense.” - There is a lack of evidence for this claim btw.
That is like as if you invade someone’s home, shoot and kill them and your defense in court for it is, “Your honour, I had to do it because I had suspicions they were going to adopt a guard dog and then use that guard dog to attack me while I was walking down the street!”
Blatant, mask-off imperialism. How anyone can continue to view America and Israel on the right side of history baffles me.
I mean they’ve painted Iran as evil for decades. The average person doesn’t put much thought into politics, let alone geopolitics, and just assume that yes Iran is evil and it’s ok to bomb them.
I don’t think the average person is that dumb
Dude. My goddamed brother. He proudly gets all his thoughts from the NY Times, and his main focus is on how evil the Iranian regime is, and how happy the people of Iran are to have their “oppressors” killed.
I’m sorry that your brother is so dumb then? This doesn’t do anything to make me change my mind lol.
Fuck. Me too.
That’s ok. You’ll get there. Just keep watching.
The average person is extremely vulnerable to propaganda, and the US has mastered propaganda to such an extent, it’s impossible to avoid it, even as a communist.
It’s not that they’re dumb, there is a myriad of reasons as to why the average person is ignorant about Iran.
