You think Iran wants this war? You think they’re welcoming their country getting laid waste to because it means they get to kill some Americans? They’re not the ones who started it and they don’t have the power to stop it. You want it stopped? Maybe focus solely on the US instead of this both sides victim blaming bullshit.

If you were a teacher you’d probably be the kind who sees a kid beating up another kid and suspends them both because the kid getting beat up tried swinging at the attacker after they already started beating them up and “all violence is wrong.”

Trains? So you’re more than one?

Living the dream.

Not an excuse. Not even in the slightest. You don’t get to kill people to feed yourself. Would you defend poor people joining gangs and cartels?

The Reddit culture of just hating on random people’s objectively harmless hobbies/interests/preferences. Think “snark” subreddits and similar. And if you call them out on it suddenly you’re the problem.

Channel that hate toward things that actually do harm if anything.

Self defense. They rained death on Iran first.

You know how you prevent those deaths? Stop fucking invading Iran. Those deaths are completely on the US’s hands.

IDK how Jews feel but if someone said calling out war crimes and genocide as anti- my culture/ethnicity, I’d be livid.

I concede that there are some problematic takes in that thread, but they also don’t seem to me like actionable threats or anything that could conceivably incite real world acts. I just see people who are angry at the current events venting their anger with little prior thinking through of the full implications. Not defending that, but… actually I tried to opine further but I feel I’m not knowledgable enough to talk about this, I personally wouldn’t make those comments so I haven’t really thought about justifying nor condemning people who do.

Got references you can point to? Most of the threads I read specifically want them to face justice for their crimes. Which is part of human rights. Getting the death penalty after being found guilty of participating in literal genocide is more than fair and doesn’t violate human rights.

Also, people say hyperbolic shit when they’re angry. And this war has understandably made a lot of people extremely angry. Not defending them if they really are calling for taking away human rights, but those people won’t be the actual ones deciding or even influencing what happens to anyone after the war so your tone policing is not doing much to help.

You know this is a throwaway meme post right? It’s a low effort dunk on objectively horrible people and nothing else. I’m genuinely wondering if this might be a cultural/language misinterpretation, but it’s worth noting that hyperbole and taking talking points to their extremes is a pretty common trope in English meme culture. No one means it literally. No one is actually saying they’re taxonomically not human. No one is saying they don’t deserve human rights. What rights did you think we want to take away from them?

Capitalists: “Under communism you’re just a pawn for the State to use with no regard to how you feel!”

Capitalism: “Is curing patients a sustainable business model?” “Let’s just deny every health insurance claim regardless of validity, they’re too poor to sue us anyway.” “Don’t need to fix the exploding fuel tank on our new car, the cost of retooling the production line is greater than the expected wrongful death settlements we’ll have to pay.”

America: Literally rains death on other countries.

Americans: How dare you say death to America! You’re the real problem with the world!

Which “human right” did you promote? Not getting dunked on in a meme community isn’t a human right. Literally no one here is doing anything to anyone other than insult literal fucking genocidal settlers, which they have every right to.

Also, I said zionist sympathizer. You sympathized with zionists. Would you have tone policed Polish people calling the Nazis inhuman monsters in the 1940s as well?

I agree, not for the same zionist sympathesizing reason you do, but because I fucking HATE the trope of brushing off what humans are capable of doing and painting this artificially idealized picture of what humans are “supposed” to be.

You don’t get to say those people aren’t humans to absolve yourself. You don’t get to pick and choose which people you consider “human” to make yourself feel less guilty about being human. You have everything in common with them, as do I. “Oh those people committing unspeakable atrocities weren’t acting with humanity!” Shut the FUCK up. If anything, committing unspeakable atrocities against other humans is the most human thing possible. Humans suck. And the sooner we realize that the sooner we can actually start working to meaningfully move past our species’ horrific legacy beyond useless lip service.

but the troops should have been warmed not to expose themselves to danger like this.

Wat? Pretty sure they knew what they were getting into when they signed up for the fucking army.

Thoughts and prayers.

Thoughts: Yeah she’s gonna die.

Prayers: Hey God, remember to warm up the brimstone for this one!

Just block and move on

Why haven’t you? Take your own advice.

And zero who deserve our sympathy for what inevitably happens to them.
