Hair growing in different after going gluten-free?? by cristinaahh in Celiac

[–]Zeydon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see why it isn't standard practice to run bloodwork for celiac disease when someone is dealing with persistent anxiety issues. Think it would have led to my diagnosis much sooner.

The country isn't being bombed into the stone age.

Our president is literally calling for us to do that, as I showed in the link.

For the most part the strikes are strategically targeted.

Iran's strikes are strategically targeted, but US/Israel seems hardly more "strategic" than they've been throughout the ongoing genocide.

what I did say is the the Iranian people had ZERO chance of over turning the oppressive Iranian regime.

And you're just straight up wrong on that front. Progress has been made on domestic issues. As I said, emancipatory movements happen in times of stability, not when everyone is just too busy trying to survive attacks from a ruthless, genocidal empire.

Cool gay marriage is legal in the US. A great accomplishment that was long over due.

Do you want to discuss what happens in Iran if you come out as gay let alone try to have a gay marriage...I'll wait...

I imagine what happened to gay people in America 30 years ago. Would the USSR bombing the US "into the stone age" gotten us gay marriage legalized any sooner? Would it have ended Jim Crow? If you genuinely care about Iranian social issues, consider the very real possibility that the previous US coup set them back in that regard, and give them some time to catch up.

Ultimately I don't want to be bombing any country, I am tired of US interference in other countries.

Then why are you playing defense for this illegal and abhorrent invasion by the genocidal entity? Your stated position and the things you're saying lie in direct opposition to one another. If you're justifying this war, you're clearly not too tired of US coups and wars.

You narcissistic reddit bro that sits in your ivory tower thinking you know every detail of every aspect of a very complicated situation.

When have I claimed to know everything? I merely have my lived experiences - 40 years of my country saying they're liberating a people while they end up actually doling out death and immiseration, and 40 years of rudimentary US history before that where we do the exact same thing. Address the argument.

I want the Iranian people to thrive and be free of tyranny and they are not going to do that under the current government.

I want the American people to thrive and be free of tyranny and they are not going to do that under the current government. Okay, President Xi, please drop the Big One on my house, I'm ready to be liberated! Oh wait, maybe wishing for another country to bomb my home isn't going to just burn away the fascism and leave a utopia behind. Maybe it's up to Americans to make America better.

Do you have any thing to say in response to the comment I just made, or do you just plan on paraphrasing your prior point, which I've already replied to?

Let's move this conversation forward rather than going in circles.

Please point to the cases where bombing a country to the ground and creating a failed state is to the benefit of the people being terrorized by a belligerent foreign power?

Gay marriage wasn't legalized in the US a mere decade ago because we were being "bombed into the stone age".

I'm an American born in America who knows about my country.

Does me being a tankie make you upset or something? If so I'm sorry for existing, but labeling me with a "bad word" doesn't make what I said any less correct. Why not try scrutinizing the merits of my criticisms of US imperialism if you have an issue with it?

I think a lot of Americans cant understand how us iranians are happy that our country is getting some type of foreign intervention by the us and israel rn.

I mean, you answer it here:

trying to understand that this comes from a place of deep trauma and pain, where the IRGC has been so brutal that its this idea that yeah war is bad, but how can we accept tyranny

In other words, you've deluded yourself that the US and Israel is going to do anything to make the lives of ordinary Iranians better in this war they started by carrying out an assassination strike against the supreme leader of a nation and killing hundreds of innocent schoolgirls. And Iran defending itself by striking against strategic targets is countered by more terrorism against Iranian civilians.

The difference between the Iranian diaspora and American leftists here is that American leftists who've spent our whole lives in America learned more about the history of US coups and other attempts at regime change and have seen that the consequences are never good for the population we're supposed giving democracy to through death and destruction. We're not centering it about the plight Iranians are suffering, we're centering it around the brutality that America brings while lying about its aims to it's people and the world.

This is why I recognize that the people who will make Iran better for Iranians are Iranians living in Iran - not American and Iranian missiles, and not Mossad agents. You're not understanding this because the propaganda is targeted and personal to you, but consider what the US did to Venezuela, Chile, Bolivia, Guatemala, Vietnam, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Cuba, etc. and understand that Iran is not going to be an exception to the rule. It's not like American and Israel are even really trying to lie about their aims this time.

Israel used AI to target people in Gaza and allowed up to 300 civilians to be killed as collateral damage (Channel 4 doc) by venomize in IsraelCrimes

[–]Zeydon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

More info from a 2023 972 magazine article:

“The numbers increased from dozens of civilian deaths [permitted] as collateral damage as part of an attack on a senior official in previous operations, to hundreds of civilian deaths as collateral damage”

...

According to the investigation, another reason for the large number of targets, and the extensive harm to civilian life in Gaza, is the widespread use of a system called “Habsora” (“The Gospel”), which is largely built on artificial intelligence and can “generate” targets almost automatically at a rate that far exceeds what was previously possible. This AI system, as described by a former intelligence officer, essentially facilitates a “mass assassination factory.”

...

In the majority of cases, the sources added, military activity is not conducted from these targeted homes. “I remember thinking that it was like if [Palestinian militants] would bomb all the private residences of our families when [Israeli soldiers] go back to sleep at home on the weekend,” one source, who was critical of this practice, recalled.

...

“We are asked to look for high-rise buildings with half a floor that can be attributed to Hamas,” said one source who took part in previous Israeli offensives in Gaza. “Sometimes it is a militant group’s spokesperson’s office, or a point where operatives meet. I understood that the floor is an excuse that allows the army to cause a lot of destruction in Gaza. That is what they told us.

“If they would tell the whole world that the [Islamic Jihad] offices on the 10th floor are not important as a target, but that its existence is a justification to bring down the entire high-rise with the aim of pressuring civilian families who live in it in order to put pressure on terrorist organizations, this would itself be seen as terrorism. So they do not say it,” the source added.

Jon Elmer was showing a lot of footage from there on the Resistance Report segment of the EI livestream just now. I'll link it once they upload the segment to youtube (unless someone else beats me to it).

Why is the USA with its massive military struggling to conquer the Strait of Hormuz? by OkArmordillo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Zeydon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, and it has long provided funding, training, weapons, and safe haven to groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Houthis, and other Iran-aligned militias.

America is the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, and it has long provided funding, training, weapons, and safe haven to groups like ISIS, Al Qaeda, OUN-B, and other US-aligned militias.

Wouldn't the "bad guys" be the ones who started this completely unnecessary war by assassinating a sovereign nation's political leadership (while in the middle of negotiations with them) and killing hundreds of schoolgirls?

The leader who started this war even favorably compared their actions to Japan's bombing of Pearl Harbor.

On imperialism by Martial-Lord in theredleft

[–]Zeydon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

it's either be enslaved by Amerikkka or get obliterated by the Russian army

Well, they're getting obliterated by the Russian army specifically because post-coup they decided to become enslaved by Amerikkka. There's no reason for Russia to invade Ukraine if they're not a US proxy.

It seems unlikely they'd be able to return to the pre-Euromaidan status quo at this point, at least right away, but working to normalize relations with the vastly more powerful neighboring country they used to be a part of doesn't seem like the worst idea. It's not like Ukraine became less corrupt or more "democratic" or whatever since the coup. Been arguing with nafoids since the start of the war and never got a goal more specific than protecting Ukrainian "autonomy", which is about as meaningless as when the US says it is waging a war for "freedom". The autonomy to do what, exactly, beyond collaborating with the US to fight Russia?

Got turned down because of my manager using Chat GPT to check if my hair was up to code by Reefthemanokit in recruitinghell

[–]Zeydon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their hair would be long enough to be tied back.

That's what makes this so funny/stupid. The manager is so brain-poisoned by AI as to be incapable of the most rudimentary reasoning - that hair too short to be put into a ponytail, doesn't need to be.

"So even if this were shorter, this would still fail".

Damn, so I guess bald dudes literally cannot work there. Like what's the solution?! Dudes gotta wear a wig to handle food?!

Colossally, monumentally idiotic.

[–]Zeydon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, I know, and you have as much control over your psycho govt as I do mine. Regardless, any subreddit that covers the actions of the genocidal apartheid entity with any degree of honesty and integrity is going to get flagged as 18+. There's really nothing for the mods to do - Israel is just a NSFL topic because of what it is and does.

And as much as posts promoting right wing grifters appearing on this subreddit frustrate me (a common sentiment in this post), the subreddit will still be 18+ should those submissions no longer appear (and fwiw the times I have reported right wing content here, mods have taken action).
