    Nobody’s “cheering for Iran” you goddamn idiot. You’re just a jingoist who support some genocidal assholes bombing civilians.

    Remember 2 years ago when some assholes supported bombing Gaza because “they kill gays”

    But hey what else to expect from the genocide voter crew

    Me when a guy in a white supremacist administration makes a nazi salute and the ADL goes “no, it wasn’t”

    Me when an interest group which for decades has cried out against genocide and targeted ethno-religious persecution actively and deliberately proclaims it is going to eliminate an entire ethno-religious group from a large area of land

    Me when people are defending that

    Nobody is out there crowing about the superiority of Iran. Or how Iran is sooooooo great.

    It’s just schadenfreude. It’s a quadruple heroine overdose of schadenfreude directly in our veins. We’ve screamed and cried and protested and called reps and done everything we could for 2 years while watching a genocide live on TV. For 2 years.

    It’s very cathartic to see that evil genocidal pedophile colony get its shit rocked. I cheered watching a hypersonic missile hit the Israeli Pentagon and I’ll keep cheering.

    Israel hit first. They called it preemptive but it was premeditated. Big difference. They punched above their weight now the hit dog is hollering. The very moment Israel sues for peace and comes to the table with concessions I’ll support the violence coming to a negotiated end. And not a moment before. Until then. Pound them into fucking sand. Twist the goddamn knife.

    Chump can get involved if he wants but I won’t go die for Israel. Not for all the money held by the Forbes 500. If they call a draft I’ll dodge it.

    Iran has the right to defend itself.

    Lmao the genocidal propaganda, lets use the “they execute gay people” narrative to justify killing Palestinians.

    WE ARE DONE tolerating genocide. Israel of the United States can’t keep colonising and pillaging the middle east.

    One after the other.

    We are not that fucking retarded, OP.

    Iran has multiple orders of magnitude on its hands - gay or otherwise - than any country that supports Israel.

    If you can understand why people cheered on the British Empire during World War Two - even though it was one of the most brutal, genocidal entities in history - but can’t understand why people would critically support Iran now, you are just a white supremacist.

    People are cheering on Iran out of pure spite, not out of genuine support for Iran.

    The American people are tired of our government spending out tax dollars to support a genocide and then gaslighting us about it when we call them out. They are also persecuting dissenters on it. This has happened under both Biden and Trump, though Trump has leaned more on the persecution. We are fucking sick of it.

    There is satisfaction in seeing someone stand up to genocidal Israel, even if the party doing so is despicable in their own right. I think people would greatly prefer getting behind a western democracy taking a stand, but we’re at a point where people will take what they can get. Especially with it being clear that the aforementioned western democracies aren’t going to do shit against genocidal Israel.

      To non Americans, watching Americans trying to lead the charge against genocide, colonialism and unjust wars is a clown show to me. Especially because it will all be forgotten the next time the U.S invades another country. I’m not against any of these ideas, I just want Americans to shut it and fix their own shit right now

        Yeah, that’s valid we’ve been putting off self-improvement of our democracy pretty heavily since the last civil war for fear of another instead of just ripping off the bandaid and realizing it could have been done in reform if we hadn’t let the wounds fester, so to speak.

      Speak for yourself. Iran has consistently been politically, diplomatically, economically and morally opposed to the Zionist entity since before I was born. I wish westerners had a shred of the empathy towards Palestinians that they pretend to have for gays in scary brown people countries when said countries oppose US interests. If you care so much about LGBT rights, go and fucking join an org in your home country, I’m sure you have plenty of far-right people committing hate crime against LGBT in your country, if not outright legalising it in the government.

        Yes. Which is the very reason that they are getting critical support from many people right now.

        I wish westerners had a shred of the empathy and everything after this point in your comment

        Who are you addressing here? It seems like this isn’t aimed at me, but rather people who support LGBT but then are upset about other people cheering on Iran?

          Would be imprisoned and/or mutilated in Iran for gay. Still wouldn’t want me and my family to be killed by Israeli bombs. If you support Israel, you are not an ally.

    One genocides a subjugated population, the other exterminates queer folks

    Just let them have their squabble, walk away, do not touch, discourage others from approaching, bad time for all

    America needs to back off and not get involved

      Israel has exterminated more queer people in the last month than Iran in the last twenty years.

      Luckily our commander in chief is already busy fighting wars against Canada, Greenland, Panama, and the United States.
