    Reminder that despite their general anti-consumer practices and data harvesting, they are also complicit in and aiding a genocide.

      it’s bad if you want to avoid all out war because the us will probably use this as justification to go all in.

            They came on TV every day for a year and a half telling us about Iraq’s WMD’s and we were scared and confused after 9/11.

            Now there was no inciting incident, we have the internet with alternative narratives to the state lies, we have a massively depressed economy from decades of wars gutting our middle class and transferring wealth from the middle class to the elite, and they are trying to speed run there propaganda about Iran in like two weeks using the same tired lies they pushed for during Iraq.

            So, in their mind it’s just like Iraq, but there is a reason this war only has about 16% support with 64% against. This war will break maga and will break the US before it breaks Iran. That’s my guess anyways.

            Oh, and Iran has almost 4 times the population as Iraq did when we invaded it, has witnessed Iraq and Lybia and have been developing and importing weapons independent of the US sphere of influence for decades while Saddam was a US puppet until he wasn’t. So yeah, I don’t think it’ll go the same.

      No! This is about the same shit Iseael is pulling. Hitting civilian targets is bad! Period!

      Not condemning war crimes because you think it is somehow justified is exactly the same shit the Israel apologists are doing.

        where do I justify civilians? clippy is not a real person and that was sarcasm.

        israel, as a nation state, is a run by people doing a genocide.

              AND civilians willingly working for a genocide weapons contractor don’t get much of my sympathy either.

              From the context of commenting on an article detailing attacks on civilian infrastructure. Or do you just go around commenting on random posts “neat. fuck israel.”?

                a little of both but what about any corporation in Israel means it’s “civilian”? Do you not know that every adult is a military member? Why is MS an hour away from the border? Civ stuff should not be harmed, but let’s be real - this wasn’t a starbucks. With Israel the first guess is that it’s not civ. Heck, don’t they have military bases across the road from hospitals just so they can claim iran damaged a hospital?

                  That … is exactly the stupid “they were Hamas” argument. You are basically advocating for genocide of all Israeli adults.
