    One of these countries is defending its civilian population against US bombs, the other is dropping them, don’t both sides this shit because Iran isn’t perfect.

      I’m not trying to ‘both sides’ this shit as much as I’m trying to ‘no sides’ this shit.

        You can’t no sides when you live on the side that’s dropping the bombs. The actions your words encourage within the west are the same that the most bloodthristy warhawks encourage. You are not supporting the Iranian people’s struggle by opposing the state protecting them from your state.

          Ahh, good old collective responsibility. Always there when you need it!

            That’s not what I’m saying at all, I’m saying to analyze the context of your speech; a US libanarchist opposing Iran isn’t meaningfully different than some bloodthirsty neocon; you’re still supporting the war effort.

          I don’t think the bloodthirsty warhawks are encouraging the abolishment of all states, especially the ones that kill people. And, yes, especially the one I live in.

      Is the US dropping bombs on Iranian civilians? Or are you conflating Israel’s actions in Palestine with this?

      I’m not going to be upset about the Iranian government getting killed, any more than I would be if Iran launched a counter-attack on Mar-a-Lago and killed Trump, or Netanyahu. In fact, I hope that happens. Fuck ‘em all.
