Maybe all the sanctions on the country cutting it off from basically everyone else has something to do with it, assuming it’s even true.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Question for the Americans. If Canada, Venezuela, Mexico, or Greenland dropped a nuke on Washington DC, would you be angry at the bomb dropper, or would you think we had that coming?
9·4 天前It’s similiar to 9/11.
If it happened, it would be blowback from what the government has been doing abroad.
It can be both of those things: a cause for valid anger, and consequence of government actions.

While I agree with you, this post doesn’t really have any framing of our duopoly. Dragging this post into electoral politics doesn’t seem constructive
He was a socialist at least.
And if he was, crazy he would have liked the “sharing is caring” ideology over the “fuck you, got mine” ideology.
But what if a bunch of defense contractors made a ton of money huh? Didn’t think of that did you?

31·14 天前You think it’s better off in the hands of a former Isis guy where they’re murdering Druze and other ethnic minorities while Israel has basically free reign to bomb, displace, and take land? It hasn’t become more stable after the fall brother.

32·14 天前Is Iraq better off now without Sadam? Is Syria better off now without Bashar? Is Libya better off now without Gadafi?
I don’t like any of those previous leaders, but every single case the country was worse off after. The same will be true of Iran.

94·14 天前I would love it if the Iranians had another revolution on their terms. However, you’re naive as hell if you think that would happen without western meddling. It’s already the root cause for most of the material conditions that cause these grievances.
Sanctions isolate Iran and actively hurt the common people. Israel and the US are constantly threatening, attacking, and doing espionage meaning the government is in constant threat and has to be more authoritarian to survive. The whole reason for the revolution was the people getting pissed at the Shah, our western puppet from before.
This has been a decades long project that you are being suckered into cheering for.

21·23 天前- Sorry, US vassal, my bad.
- Pol pot wasn’t a communist and basically no communists claim him. If he was, why would the most anti communist country (the US) fund him with 80 million dollars at the time, after the atrocities were known? Let me guess, you believe the national socialists in Germany were actually socialists too?

Also you don’t know this is the lesser pain option, a second time line is conveniently imaginary.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you think they will finally develop class-consciousness and realize their beloved & proud troops have done the same thing on foreign lands hundreds of thousands of time? (Read more)
4·24 天前A few yes, but not even close to enough.
Don’t worry, more radicalizing moments are sure to come.

99·24 天前The US government propaganda has been effective on you I see. I doubt you can articulate or define what communism even is but you hate it for some reason. Sit with that for a second.

23·24 天前She was tripping over herself to say she was just like Biden, throating Liz Cheney, and saying we will have “the most lethal military” while her administration starves bombs and starves a population of mostly refugee children. Telling her base to shut up and let her talk.
Why aren’t you angry at her for being dogshit?


Hovering my foot several inches above a live bear trap is also not being in the bear trap.
You better believe I’m keeping my focus on not stepping down on it, and it will be unpleasant to constantly think about it and micromanage not stepping down. My foot is not caught, the bear trap isn’t “real” or “really hurting my foot”, yet this still takes a real toll.
