    Guys, guys. Chill.

    Both of these countries are killing their own civilian population. But now one of them is also killing the other country’s population as well. Probably soon to be joined by the other doing the same in return.

    Let me just be the anarchist in the room and say fuck both of these countries. Fuck every country. We shouldn’t have countries. And we especially shouldn’t have countries that kill people, no matter which side of an imaginary line they’re killing people on.

      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.

          When a zionist says that Hamas doesn’t support gay rights, do you think they are trying to support gay struggles in Palestine? No they’re trying to justify murdering more palestinians, just like anyone who says “Iran also bad” in this thread.

            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.

            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.

                Ah, yes. Any good anarchist should support the authoritarian theocratic state that’s being attacked!

                  Any anarchist living in the west? Absolutely. You can be critical of something and still support it because the alternative is carrying water for the guys dropping the bombs.

                    If you support any state, you’re not an anarchist.

                    If you support a theo-fascist state, you’re not even close to an anarchist.

                    I don’t have to support the state of Iran to oppose the US and Israel.
