hostile reminder that government != people of a given country
there is some opposition, not much, and you won’t hear from them a lot because communications out of the country are tightly controlled and iranian security apparatus is on the more hostile end of scale, but there is something. iranian emigrants tend to be pretty liberal
I’ve worked with a few Iranians during college and grad school and they were all awesome people. I just with the government if their home country wasn’t evil and create the need for them to escape
The US’ support for Israel is disgusting but…this is not an example of it. Can’t even imagine what would follow if all their bombs landed but I know it wouldn’t be good for the world even if Israel deserves it.
Let’s keep the conversation civil and on an adult to adult level, please. i.e., assume that the other commenter is arguing in good faith. Universal warning, my Universal Soldiers.
Yeah thats on me, a bit childish, but in all seriousness “evil” is a concept for children that are unable to see more than black and white.
I cant take anybodies argument serious if it uses words like that, especially when referring to something as big and complicated as a country. Even calling individual people evil is such an extreme oversimplification it prevents any productive discourse.
I vote we have a rule that all discourse in NCD must be vehemently unproductive. NCD should be a tax on your cognitive abilities. You should become noticeably dumber (and hornier) after being here. This is the way.
Well, I vehemently disagree with you, but name calling and then doubling down would not serve me well, even if I were correct and everyone else was wrong. Hypothetically, if I had committed such a faux pas, I would *stop justifying myself and start being as courteous as possible to everyone around me. *
even if I were correct and everyone else was wrong
This is a hyper concentrated echo chamber, nothing here could ever constitute disagreement with “everyone”
stop justifying myself
I am justifying my opinion, if you are ready to get rid of your opinions just because some random people on the internet didnt like one of your comments then have fun with that.
That’s a good thing; Iran is evil in case you forgot

I’m with you on that.

Israel deserves innocent civilians to be killed?
Obviously I’m not talking about the civilians. Israel bombed Iran first…they “deserved” retaliation.
The fact that you can seriously call a country “evil” means you are stupid.

What if you’re already dumb and horny
Then welcome home
