    Funny how your type will double down on how there’s no moral choice between democrats and Republicans

    Yet somehow you can find the “moral” choice between a theocratic dictatorship (also capitalist btw) and an imperial nation.

      A) nobody mentioned any political party affiliation; if you want to fight people you’ve made up in your head, I recommend some grippy socks.

      B) nobody has to support Iran. People support peace, which by definition means opposing the US in this conflict. Seeing as how this conflict literally has 2 sides, that definitionally means “supporting Iran.” If anything, YOU’RE the one boiling a desire for peace and stability down to “team sports.”

        a) it’s an example to illustrate a point. You only have to be a very moderate lemmy user to know what I’m talking about.

        b) The first sentence was correct. The rest you made up, but that’s okay you are right for the most part. Unfortunately some people don’t just mean supporting Iran in terms of the conflict with the US/Israel. If you look at the comment that I replied to you can see the user says that Iran should be supported because they oppose global hegemony. That extends far beyond the recent conflict.

        In their mind the USA is the “enemy team” so whoever is up against them they will then be the “good team”. That’s exactly what the person I replied to is saying. It’s frankly sad and morally bankrupt.

          Yeah, the global hegemon which has been extracting resources from the rest of the world for the past 70 years is the bad guy. You’d have to have some kind of brain damage to dispute this fact.
