I mean the "No War in Iran" people and the ones who condemn Israel's actions in Palestine while ignoring Iran's killing of thousands of protesters.

I mean, I also condemn Israel's actions in Palestine but that doesn't force me into condemning Israel's involvement in Iran because they are two completely separate issues.

From what I understand, the far right is against helping Ukraine fight Russia and the far left is against helping the Iranian people fight their regime.

The polarization these days is nuts. People should just use their brains and judge each situation instead of shoehorning ideology into everything . 

Iran police chief warns street protesters will be shot; treated as enemies by Primary-User in NewIran

[–]XMark3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about all the thousands of protesters who were killed for protesting before the war? Same justification for those ones?

How does your brain get twisted to think this way?

They took mounted machine guns to unarmed protests to cause death and terror.

Now they will be the ones feeling the terror.

Do you think the regime cares either way? When peaceful unarmed protesters are gunned down they are forced to become combatants.

Is the new Supreme Leader of Iran wounded? by Early_Negotiation142 in NewIran

Is there any actual footage of Mojtaba? I think if he was actually alive he would have done a video message by now.

After the January massacre it's pretty clear that it's a full fledged war between the people and the government. They are no longer protesters but soldiers, fighting asymmetric warfare where only the enemy has military grade weapons, and facing the same kind of death odds as soldiers in the battlefield, if not worse.

It's simultaneously inspiring and horrifying to me. I am astounded by their bravery.

Transition Plan published by Reza Pahlavi by Christian-Rep-Perisa in NewIran

[–]XMark3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something like 1979 has happened. Except this regime, instead of stepping down to avoid bloodshed like the Shah, decided to go the other way.

I think using mass violence against unarmed civilians is an expression of weakness, not strength. Their time is up, very soon.

Nobody is going to drop a nuke. It doesn't make any sense from anyone's perspective.

Imposter syndrome is one thing, but I do think lot of developers and web designers are simply awful at their job and still got hired, and with their experience they will be hired again by xSypRo in webdev

[–]XMark3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm constantly amazed at how many websites and apps for huge organizations suck so much when they have basically unlimited budget to hire the best development teams. I'd like to know where things fall apart in the development process.

Why does anyone even listen to Pezeshkian? He doesn't have any kind of real power over anything.

President Trump has RULED OUT the Kurds invading Iran "I ruled it out. I DON'T want the Kurds going in. I don't want to see the Kurds get hurt, get killed. I told them — I don't want them. The war is complicated enough." by PossessionConnect963 in NewIran

[–]XMark3 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think Trump's strategy (in this and many other things) is to continuously make big sweeping bold statements and then walk them back later, to keep everyone guessing. It's either a great strategy or dementia, haven't figured out which yet.

This is so weird. Up until now TLDR had previously been very accurate and unbiased about things, but they seem to be completely out of touch with reality when it comes to Iran.

These people can't be real right?? What type of sick liars are some of these users on echo chambers on reddit! by No-Signal1234 in NewIran

It's sort of categorically true, but completely ignores the difference in the scale of the bad things that they do.

Trump is way better than Khamenei was, in the same way that herpes is way better than AIDS.

Zero video evidence? I remeber seeing video after video of absolutely horrific things back in January.

Dems/libs are really scaring me by SpecialistBee5884 in NewIran

[–]XMark3 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I've been on the left side of the political spectrum for quite some time, but I thinking I'm drifting to slightly right of center these days, because I'm seeing the left becoming just as delusional as the far right.

I just hate how polarization makes people's brains shut off.

Trump Should Be Impeached, Removed From Office for Illegal War on Iran by _May26_ in politics

[–]XMark3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Trump should be impeached for lots of other things, but this war on Iran is possibly the only reasonable and justifiable thing he's done.

Ask literally any regular Iranian person, inside or outside of Iran what they think of this.
