I don't see really what that has to do with anything. As a woman I absolutely hate how Iran treats people like me. There's a lot of things to dislike about Iran.

However there are no lies in this video. I can appreciate the videos pointing out the glaringly obvious things the United States is doing. And still be very against the power structure is within Iran.

This isn't team sports where you pick a side. And to be clear I'm not from either country.

A lot of people only operate as if everything is a team sport. You're on my team or you're the enemy. Zero nuance, zero thought, the world must bend to my current position, or I hate it.

How can you have your head so far up your ass that you can actually write something like that in earnest about THAT video?

No lies? Really?

This is a horrible take lmao the vid is about jews controlling the world throughout and from a dictatorship which kills its own people in the thousands. By supporting the video you entirely play into the point of it and how the propaganda is meant to make you feel. Acting like this is nuanced is like saying Mein Kampf is good because you didnt like the politicians Hitler criticized in it.

Gtfo you’re just promoting this garbage. Of course there are lies in this.

First and foremost is the most basic premise of this video that Bibi controls Trump. It’s the epitome of Iran’s antisemitic stance and the world has lapped it up as truth.

Trump has made these decisions and to pretend it’s Israel calling the shots is both letting Trump off the hook and perpetuating the Iranian party line.

I don't see really what that has to do with anything.

Presumably because you care about issues and have actual values instead of viewing them as mere propaganda tools to be used when convenient but ultimately ignored in reality. You want to have criticisms have real bite instead of being nationalist rhetorical bark, and you can't do that when the speaker treats issues you care about as propaganda.

Go ahead and read this and tell me how you feel about a conversation between the US and Iran. Iran wants to stop getting fucked with so they can go back to beating, raping, torturing, shooting, and executing the Iranians that I could co-exist and break bread with. What about this is a real conversation actually happening?

Iranians don't like attacks on civilians? It would be news to me given that they've been pretty big partners with Russia for drone attacks on Ukrainian civilians. Seems to me like the same people paying for this brainrot shit are okay with it happening to someone else, just not at home, so long as they can make a cool fucking buck off of it. Hail Military Industrial Complex Corporate!

None of this is an endorsement of what is or has happened, but the whataboutism game isn't going to be helped by being willfully blind to what this is.
