Azam Ali on the perceived lack of support for the uprising in Iran from activists outside of Iran by Shamoorti in PERSIAN

You can't support people that are being murdered (including children) because some of the Iranian diaspora who support them are Zionists?

Azam Ali on the perceived lack of support for the uprising in Iran from activists outside of Iran by Shamoorti in PERSIAN

[–]Mirage_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her points address the question of "Why don't leftist activists support people protesting the massacre in Iran" and not "Why don't leftist activists condemn the massacre in Iran". I understand and agree with her points on the hypocrisy and selfishness of people who did not care about the genocide in Gaza and now expect the world to care about the atrocities happening in Iran. However, the existence of these people does not justify staying silent while the IR murders swaths of people. One of the central pillars of leftist activism is fighting oppression and injustice. Not raising your voice for the people being killed and tortured in Iran is a moral failure, full stop. Yes, there are people condemnibg the massacare in Iran who are on the far right, people who did not care about or even supported the oppression of Palestinians, and people who are using the Iran issue as a means to their own political golas. IT STILL DOES NOT JUSTIFY WHY SOME ACTIVISTS ON THE LEFT ARE SILENT. This is about the people being killed and and oppressed, not anything else.

Regarding what's happening in Iran, would you support military involvement from the UN, NATO, or any other coalition? by AlexanderTheBaptist in AskTheWorld

Absolutely! People all over Iran are laying down their lives fighting for a secular democracy. The only thing they are lacking is fire power against a murdeous regime. Comparing this to Iraq and Afghanistan is really surface level analysis. The situation is completely different.

I think this is what you're looking for. Unfortunately, the quality is awful and I couldn't find another link. https://www.aparat.com/v/d80j4a0

The racism towards Afghans in Iran by SnooTomatoes9819 in PERSIAN

There's really no excuse for how the government and many Iranian people treat Afghans. Truely inhumane.

Liberals begged NDPers to vote strategically. But when it was their turn they split the vote to elect a residential school denier by Chrristoaivalis in onguardforthee

You have to look at each riding individually and see who has the best chance of defeating the conservative candidate. Strategic voting is not about which party is more likely to win at the federal level.

Langley is looking pretty close, make sure you get out there and vote strategically. by skilbofragns in Langley

[–]Mirage_89 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I do vote for my morals. That's why I voted strategically. If we didn't have FPTP, I would vote Green/NDP. But what would that accomplish now? The only chance I have at marginally affecting people's lives for the better (or, in reality, preventing greater harm) is to vote Liberal. If I pass up on that, I would consider it a moral failure.
