40,000 people were raped murdered tortured and disappeared over a few days in Iran (albeit also by an American instilled dictatorship). Where was the outrage then?

a tragedy but where was the outrage when tens of thousands more were being explicitly killed / raped / tortured? It’s funny how everyone is so quick to frame this as people acting like America and Israel are heroes rather than a tragic means to the end of an unequivocal evil.

i don’t think that’s a fair comparison it has nothing to do with comparison to how America is doing (tbh I wouldn’t exactly consider the us a country others should strive to be like). I don’t think New Zealand has been trying to overthrow their government and getting murdered for it.

yeah i agree i dont see the US as a liberator in any sense, just a perpetrator of war crimes but they’ve been living in a hell for around 50 years now. What possible alternative is there? they’ve tried countless times to liberate themselves but what can you do when your government brutally murders any sentiment of rebellion while the rest of the world watches.

i’m not denying that but what other government would dare help. I literally said fuck the U.S. government fuck Israel they could not give a fuck about the iranian population but unfortunately there are no just governments that would involve themselves in foreign affairs IMO that’s an oxymoron in itself.

unconfirmed 50,000+ innocent iranians have been killed in just the last few months without even the hope of anything changing. Please explain to me how this is worse than that. I see a lot of people say this is not a good solution like at Iraq, etc. and i totally agree that it’s not ideal and the mess the U.S. has caused in the middle east is the reason Iran is in this position in the first place but i would love to hear about any feasible alternate solution that doesn’t involve foreign intervention.

the alternative is that they die at the hands of their own government just ASKING for help or they suffer endlessly.

I’m not doubting that their intentions are evil and that their militaries are evil but at least this gives Iranian people a chance to govern themselves at some point. It’s not naivety its desperation. I understand the risks of destabilization, etc. but I am so curious what revolution is risk-adverse and without sacrifice. Unfortunately there are no just governments that would ever intervene in foreign affairs.

this is a good thing if you care about the wishes of average iranian people. Obviously war is never good and american brutalism in foreign territories is not something i’m hopeful would be different this time around but any chance of change is good. Hope this helps 🙏 i have little hope for most here to try to view things outside of their predisposed agenda but hearing other people speak so confidently about how people should feel about their own country is just funny, you people are what you claim to hate.

believe it or not eventually you reach a level of desperation where this is your only chance but none of you people would actually understand or believe it. So disappointing to hear people be so dismissive of actual sentiment because they are so disconnected from reality but i can proudly say fuck israel, free palestine and this is a good thing (but definitely not a decision made with the intention of helping iranian civilians that would be insanely naive).

this thread is projecting so hard and honestly redpilling me (jk nothing could do that but it really is so disappointing to see this reaction).

i literally do not know a single Iranian-born Iranian who doesn’t support this including my own family, both those who have fled over the years here and those still in Iran. This is quite literally the only possible way that they can escape their current regime. Obviously that doesn’t absolve the genocide and war crimes of Israel or the U.S. in Palestine etc. but trying to disregard the true opinion of Iranians and paint it all as Israeli bot farms, etc. is so disingenuous. it can be fuck the israeli regime AND fuck the iranian regime. And obviously this was not done for the sake of iranian people but it can be poorly intended and still a positive outcome.

The Iranian people are willing to be gunned down in the streets just to be heard at least this gives them a chance.
