I really, really fucking despise how liberals will weaponise mental illness and armchair psychoanalyse people as a way of dismissing them without needing to listen to anything they say. It’s so disgustingly ableist and dehumanising, and so damn smug and self-satisified.
consistent threat to global stability
I mean…is she wrong though? Remember when Iran placed sanctions on Iraq and killed a million people, and then went to war with them and killed another million people? Or when they went to war with Afghanistan and killed hundreds of thousands if not a million people? Or how they overthrew the democratic government of Libya and turned the most successful country in Africa into a failed state? Or how they supported the genocide in Gaza? Or how their actions led to the war between Ukraine and Russia, and then convinced Europe to stop buying Russian oil and buy theirs instead, and then inflated the price?
Just a two generations of Call of Duty remakes and this becomes western canon.
Yeah after they blamed the highway of death on Russia.
life’s purpose to destroy Israel
Got to the right conclusion 60-odd years before I was born then
Martyring the ayatollah will surely bring a more secular government.
Linking imperial aggression to woke will surely make the people more tolerant.
Reasonable adult my ass.
These types are also extremely fragile and will fight you on the pettiest of grounds. Tell them that bombing a school is bad and they will flip out on you.
We’re supposed to hem and haw about how repressive Iran is or isn’t (no ordinary person has any knowledge of this beyond “CNN aired it between the Nayirah testimony and Colin Powell at the UN”), but then just shrug off mass slaughter at hospitals and schools.
fuckface
Why do they talk like this?
Joss Whedon Dialogue is actually an infectious disease of the brain
oh my god you’re right
Same people who think SNL is funny
oh my god i just commented this article
Every one has to preface the conversation by denouncing Hammas.
Like the government can barely come up with convincing lie about this war. But let me go back into my grab bag of propaganda and 90’s action movie false memories to form an opinion about something.
It was kind of fucked up of Ayatollah Khomeni to chase a surfing Pierce Brosnan with a satellite laser that one time
He was just never the same after meeting Frank Drebin
Currently in therapy working through how non-explicit sarcasm and genuine anger towards such a person doesn’t produce a clear signal. It means I remain less than understood, at best I lash out against a symptom & not the system, and remain upset about the lack of global ledger. She’s not doing this to piss me off; on the contrary she’s in an atomized society that makes it so even if she were looking me in the eyes she wouldn’t be able to see me. While it doesn’t excuse the wrongdoer, it’s a reminder of my locus of control. Short of a revolutionary tribunal or an opportunity to agitate onlookers there’s objectively little use in engaging with such a person. It’s a tragedy, not a moral failing to be unable to perceive me. We’ll see if the mechanistic extraction of a chance to reason through my own internal world from people I perceive as having consented into an asymmetric, exploitative conversation remains meta.
In closing I think America bad and destabilizing even in the face of bad things that happen downstream of it. I don’t know the particular history of Iran, but it would be, at best in my mind, secondary to their current actions fighting back against the most destabilizing imperialist force that engages in genocide and kills millions in the region. That recent history and current events of genocide and bloodshed, as well as my proximity to these cultures as opposed to Iran is what makes America and Israel relevant in my mind, even if the topic is the wrongdoings of Iran.
Don’t suppose you have any more protips regarding my mother…
I edited it with a few more thoughts. But I’m afraid this development is hot off the presses and theoretical for me at time of writing.
Also got recommend the Myth of Sisyphus by Camus which is… available wherever you find books
Appreciate your insights thank you. :)
also lol @ Sisyphus suggestion. Indeed. Also something about Sisyphus pushing a Grey Rock but I’m too tired to make it slick.
v. grateful that global stability has been restored. thanks charlotte

Ease off the slurs hoss.
In our house, we use gender-affirming slurs.e: Also she was in the military for 7 years. The fuck is this fish on about?
Oh my bad, that makes it acceptable then.
Role: Served with the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) at Arlington National Cemetery, where she participated in casket team duties and funeral services.
such service much thanks.
Any so-called “service” to the US military is morally objectionable, even in non-combat roles

also, that’s a noun as used there.
You tried.

Doubling down is always effective. If English isn’t your first language you can get some help with grammar by asking politely instead of whatever this is. Even if it is, too.
I think we just recruited another piefed user.

No matter how many genocides and murder campaigns you run interference for, the fascists are still gonna put you in the concentration camps as soon as they open up, Charlotte.
Get in the hole pickme
Imagine calling someone you claim is a genocidal mass murderer a “fuckface”
Tommy need drinky
Hitler was such a doody head
The last three decades of Western intervention in the Middle East have proved that no matter how bad the current ruler is, whomever ends up in power because of the West’s intervention will be worse.
i can think of some other countries doing the second tweet, but they’re supporting israel or are israel so she doesn’t care
