submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by Sulvor@hexbear.net to c/news@hexbear.net

Last time the flag appeared on the eve of Iran’s unprecedented missile and drone attack on Israel in April this year.

The flag has been raised for the sixth time in Iran’s history.

Rolling ever closer to a wider regional war doomjak

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 59 points 3 months ago

This is a revolutionary and decolonial war that we can win. I support the struggle to eradicate Israel

[-] TillieNeuen@hexbear.net 44 points 3 months ago

On the one hand, I agree that someone has to stop Israel from continuing to genocide the Palestinians because they're not going to stop themselves. On the other hand, I have very little hope that a regional war will actually make things better

the Nazi concentration camps only really became systematic death camps as the war took a turn for the worse for the Germans on the Eastern Front, before that they were primarily labor camps. Does this mean the Soviets should not have pushed into Germany and destroyed the Nazi state? Allow them to keep permanent labor camps of jews and communist dissidents? Historical justice demands victory and unconditional surrender of our enemies. Anything less is a failure of justice. We are not responsible for the reactionary nature of capitalists, they do that themselves.

Short term it will likely be worse, long term peace is only possible with the destruction of the genocidal ethnostate

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago

how do you think israel is eradicated without a regional war?

[-] TillieNeuen@hexbear.net 20 points 3 months ago

They have nukes and I fully believe they're bloodthirsty enough to launch them.

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 21 points 3 months ago

So? So because they have nukes we all have to sit by as the colonize and genocide forever? That's really the plan? Fuck them I would rather the world burn

[-] TillieNeuen@hexbear.net 30 points 3 months ago

Plan? I don't have a plan. I'm just a dummy on the internet, seeing death and destruction on the horizon for a whole lot of people. Again: doomjak

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 23 points 3 months ago

Lots of wars, including decolonial and revolutionary ones, need to happen and when they start in earnest, need our full support not dooming woe is me stuff. The moment the US involves itself in this regional war we need to bring hell upon the state as a fifth column, prepare for that don't sit around dreading the future that is inevitable

I didn't know they had a revenge flag, that is so cool.

[-] Sulvor@hexbear.net 50 points 3 months ago

It’s honestly such a badass headline it feels a little sensationalist even though it’s just a plain fact

[-] CommCat@hexbear.net 46 points 3 months ago

They raised it when Soleimani was assasinated. In respone, Iran launched missiles at some US bases in Iraq. Wonder what will be the target this time?

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 37 points 3 months ago

timmy-pray please god let iran turn the knesset into a molten crater

no more half measures walter

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 28 points 3 months ago

Harden your heart, oh, Walter!

Attack them and increase your attacks!

War with Israel is long overdue and needed. Unironically good for them to be wiped off the earth, it must happen

[-] Yor@hexbear.net 60 points 3 months ago

at this point it should be clear that zionists will never stop on their own

God if they launch the missiles in the next 3 hours I’m not going to get any sleep tonight so I hope they wait at least 4

[-] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago

You’re good, they’ll wait till I’m just about to go to sleep

[-] GnastyGnuts@hexbear.net 41 points 3 months ago

Fingers crossed they over-deliver and don't just hype it up and then deliver a fart.

[-] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 63 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I mean the last time Iran raised this flag something significant did happen. Iran directly attacked Israel and landed several successful hits on military targets in Israel. The US was forced to help defend Israel and intercept drones and missiles.

[-] I_CAST_BEAM_OF_BATS_I_CAST_BOLT_OF_BATS@hexbear.net 26 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

the heaviest radar+air defense in the world, in addition to the US military immediately intercepting, and they still hit the site with missiles they have a shitton of

while it was reported on as hyper-sonic missiles, that's just in their final stage. it's not like Iran used some kind of glide weapon thing. they have a shitton of these missiles. didn't take many drones to get them through

Nuclear detonation before November.

We need to stop pretending like the world isn’t headed towards that timeline. The earlier you make peace with this highly likely scenario, the less shocked you will be when it finally happens.

The shock will be an order of magnitude greater than 9/11, and the world will have to adjust to that new reality.

[-] Paulie@hexbear.net 47 points 3 months ago

You watch too many movies and spend too much time on hexbear absorbing this idea that nukes are gonna drop this year. Sometimes this place feels like Qanon facebook page with 4k users

[-] Sulvor@hexbear.net 39 points 3 months ago

Seriously, “nukes in 3 months, I guarantee it” lol

Like yeah world tensions are high, multiple nuclear-state proxy wars…shit doesn’t look good but let’s not start The End is Nigh-ing.

[-] Paulie@hexbear.net 32 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I get it, lots of users here are depressed but that doom has just infected every facet of their lives. Instead of taking the grill pill and submitting to not being able to do anything meaningful to change to course of history, they welcome the horrors that can be because deep down they want those horrors to materialize since they have already subjected themselves to living a life of misery.

Israel is a death-cult and a fascist state on the edge of collapsing due to their own antics. They also have nukes. That is NOT an unimaginable scenario.

[-] shipwreck@hexbear.net 17 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Unprecedented crises of capitalism and war as the inevitable means to resolve the contradictions of capitalism are Qanon conspiracy theories, TIL.

Is it doomerish and being over-dramatic? Yes. Unlikely scenario? Not at all. There are material basis to back such scenarios, and the aversion to it is precisely a capitulation to Fukuyama’s “end of history” narrative.

Engels predicted the first world war. Lenin predicted the second.

Would you have believed had someone told you in 1934 that a devastating world war would break out in a short few years? Some saw the inevitable rise of fascism and fled Europe with what they could afford. Still many did not believe a second world war would come so soon after the first…

The world is still too profitable for the bourgeois class, a nuclear exchange will devastate the world, thus wiping out vast profits. There will be no nuclear exchanges in the foreseeable future. Unless there is a proletarian uprising, or climate catastrophe, the profits of the bourgeoisie are safe for now.

[-] Sulvor@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I definitely agree with this mostly, but I've been reminded that people do not always act rationally. Especially the Israelis.

Ukrainians as well for that matter.

People are laughing at you, but we're talking about a nuclear power whose population are rioting because they can't brag about gang-r-word Palestinian prisoners in social media and who believe bioengineering a red heifer will force God to bring about their long-awaited Messiah.

These unhinged freaks are not rational actors.

And plus tactical nukes are a thing. Not all nukes are designed to blow up cities. If nukes are going to be in play, tactical nukes will first be used before strategic nukes. And we know the IOF is completely useless when they're not murdering children or sodomizing unarmed prisoners. Is it beyond a possibility that a floundering IOF will use a tactical nuke in a desperate measure to get as least a W?

[-] shipwreck@hexbear.net 16 points 3 months ago

It’s very simple: if Israel cannot have its ethnostate (which is a certainty when it is defeated militarily), what remains of the Zionist ideology?

There is only one option left. In the minds of the irrational, it is the rational option.

You are wrong, if I explain why then I will be insulting the intelligence of everyone reading your comment

[-] D61@hexbear.net 38 points 3 months ago

Is this the how desperate the c/News com gets when its behind c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns? Risking a regional hot war with the potential of nukes going off just to get the comment count up?
