The craziest thing about the new war on Iran is they don't even have any clear-cut, manufactured justification for it to give the media. They didn't even bother. (lemmygrad.ml)

'Why is the US bombing Iran?' has got to be one of the most searched prompts on google these past few days. And the closest thing to a current answer you will find is "We attacked them because they were going to have nukes and then use them on us, it's self-defense." - There is a lack of evidence for this claim btw.

That is like as if you invade someone's home, shoot and kill them and your defense in court for it is, "Your honour, I had to do it because I had suspicions they were going to adopt a guard dog and then use that guard dog to attack me while I was walking down the street!"

Blatant, mask-off imperialism. How anyone can continue to view America and Israel on the right side of history baffles me.

Don't forget the half-assed "Iran killed 80 million protestors and suddenly we care deeply about people protesting the government...in a country where we kill and maim protestors"

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

in a country where we kill and maim protestors

the US always did that, but also we made the extra effort to constantly remind everyone we kill and maim protestors in the last year.

Are you, like, butthurt ICE is getting bad publicity?

[–] miz@hexbear.net 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

how are you getting that from what Tabitha said? it really seems like you are trying to pick fights

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net -4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

shrug-outta-hecks the only time ice gets dicsussed negatively on here is when either white people die or when we’re trying to diminish their recent terrorism

i suggest you read through the em/poc mega for some understanding

[–] miz@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

that has not been my experience

EDIT: apparently there is a huge struggle session I was totally unaware of, trying to catch up

EDIT2: okay apparently what I found was not about ICE even tangentially though, so I'm still kind of confused

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago

Absurd misreading. She is just pointing out the violence of ICE as evidence of US hypocrisy about killing and maiming protestors, and she said "in the last year," which extends way beyond Renee Good's killing.

"and that's why we made sure to kill 150 school girls in our opening salvo"
