☂️-

so we devolved to dumb tribalism already?

that’s not only emboldening their enemies, the bases were part of their protection pitch to their allies too. some petrolstate’s feet will be getting even colder.

that has already happened. iran has bombed a couple of hotels some us targets were staying in, back when they were still bombing their military bases.

just wow

i don’t see anyone admitting to anything, just you being insistent. your country has been genociding and abusing human rights for decades under democrats and republicans pretty much equally. i can’t think of a single recent us president that wasn’t a war criminal.

can you?

your hat is red

pigs are blue

all cops are bastards

and so are you

“bluemaga” is an observation that no, democrats are not the opposite of republicans.

they are fascist imperialists just like republicans. the difference is they are polite and charismatic.

Actually this is an obvious question but it’s not what you might think. Let me explain it to you, I’ve been an opiate addict for a long time and tried many drugs. Drugs that are ‘uppers’ have the most ‘obvious’ euphoria. For example if you take adderall/coke/meth/speed/MDMA you will get this shining bright euphoria, self confidence, energy, and other drug-specific feelings (for meth like you are king or for MDMA like you love everyone). However, you owe these drugs back what they delivered to you. After a meth binge, or lots of MDMA use, or staying up all night on coke you will feel like shit. To an extent this aspect is similar to an alcoholic hangover.

On the other hand, for many people who experiment with heroin they are underwhelmed (not including IV usage, but most experimenters rarely ever IV first time). They just feel good, chill, happy, but they feel like this spooky drug ‘heroin’ hasn’t delivered. They are just mellow. Oh obviously it has all been a lie they will think. Heroin isn’t spooky, it’s chill. It’s not addictive like everyone else thinks. It doesn’t make you do stupid shit or stay up all day and hallucinate like amphetamines or coke. It doesn’t empty your serotonin like MDMA or give you a hangover like alcohol. People tend to just think oh, what a nice drug.

So the next day they wake up and everything is normal. No headache or shitty feeling–just a slight afterglow of that nice feeling. Oh it was cheap as well! It only cost $10 for a whole night of being high! I thought people said heroin was expensive? And then next weekend comes… There are all these drugs I could do but I liked heroin. It didn’t ‘fuck me up,’ I could still think clearly. No hangover. No feeling like shit later. I still was awake. It just made me happy and content with life. Oh and it’s only $10! Well, I should get some more for the whole weekend. This is great! I will use Heroin on the weekends now!

Now let’s say this person works and has responsibilities. He knows he can’t go into work drunk, or on MDMA, or high. So he doesn’t. It’s actually simple. But heroin… Well the user might actually find they do better work on heroin. Instead of being sad or grumpy or depressed with his job… he is just… happy. Mellow. Content. Everything is fine and the world is beautiful. It’s raining, it’s dark, I woke up at 5:30AM, I’m commuting in traffic. I would have had a headache, I would have been miserable, I would have wondered how my life took me to this point. This point I’m at right now. But no, no, everything is fine. Life is beautiful. The rain drops are just falling and in each one I see the reflection of every persons life around me. Humanity is beautiful. In this still frame shot of traffic on this crowded bus I just found love and peace. Heroin is a wonder drug. Heroin is better than everything else. Heroin makes me who I wish I was. Heroin makes life worth living. Heroin is better than everything else. Heroin builds up a tolerance fast. Heroin starts to cost more money. I need heroin to feel normal. I don’t love anymore. Now I’m sick. I can’t afford the heroin that I need. How did $10 used to get me high? Now I need $100. That guy that let me try a few lines the first time doesn’t actually deal. Oh I need to find a real dealer? This guy is a felon and carries a gun–he can sell me the drug that lets me find love in the world. No this isn’t working, I need to quit.

To answer your question, heroin feels nice. That’s all, it just feels very nice. You can make the rest up for yourself. Attach your own half-truths to this drug that will show you the world and for a moment you will feel as clever as Faust.

Makes no sense

it’s like you guys are almost there.

i think you missed the whole “the us is threatening nuclear winter for the world, and is putting out wartime propaganda about iran” thing.

the end of iran would put the world this much deeper into trouble, but an us collapse will solve most of the geopolitical problems plaguing the world for a century right now. stop blaming other countries for your faults or coming up with reasons to justify your unprovoked murder of civilians all over the world.

it’s always the same story: if you cared at all about iran or venezuela or gaza’s democracy or whatever the fuck you would not be bombing them. i’m glad iran is capable of resisting.

what are you talking about? trump literally just admitted they were right in quashing the fake uprising. saudi arabia is also a theocracy and the us isn’t attacking it’s civilians.

that’s just the same narrative that was used to justify genociding gaza (but hamas!). they do not both have to go, iran is completely justified so far, and the us is the one threatening the planet with nuclear hellfire.

why not? are you implying iran is also waging war with the entire rest of the planet?

it’s reportedly already over lol

“why do people care so much about the possibility of nuclear war? why is this hitler guy so controversial? so disgusting!”

Go die for trump you bootlicker.

see, i can be a grasping asshole for no reason too!

god forbid vietnam wants communism.

no way oligarchs will inflict themselves any consequences for their peer’s fascism.

by the us government’s open admission, apparently not.

and they are being fine anti imperialists lately. why vilify them at precisely this moment?

i don’t get the cope in this thread. it’s something the us does do with some regularity, and i thought you guys disliked trump’s fascism anyway.

why the desperation to vilify iran in a war you claim to not even want to fight?

westerners can generally find jobs outside the west with much more ease. especially when you are certified for a reasonably well paid field. you could also sponsor your own move much easier than the average person could sponsor you.

also why would anyone else make a sacrifice for a problem your country created for everyone else?
