but this naked display of distilled arrogance in a generous bedding of ignorance combined with the heady almost overpowering aroma of smugness is a perfect example of what makes genocideman engineering so special.

      I know… But this particular combination of ignorance, arrogance and smugness still gets to me after all these years and I am g*rman myself. You think you get used to it but you don’t. The people around me are like out of an algorithm trying to find a global maximum on the Dunning-Kruger curve it’s so jarring. At least I put a kinda, sorta CW on it.

        I understand. I live there myself. I am just glad my own family got the right kinds of brainworms where they are anti-western imperalism by accident.

    I am not taking any posts from germans, let alone ones from feddit seriously anymore because they really are unserious, which I mean what do you expect from western Europe.

    I would just like to point out that every time the west fucks with Iran they spend years doing all kinds of clandestine economic sabotage to global trade, especially with shipping headed to Europe. Their methods are sophisticated and effective and some of their acts are things we don’t even know how they pulled it off and can only suspect them of being behind it.

      We’ve gone from pinkwashing the apartheid regime of west palestine to really really pinkscrubbing. It’s the no1 “argument” thrown around because it allows them to hit some well-established islamophobic tropes.

        It’s also, as usual, total bullshit. Accepting things like gay rights but only for the members of your ethnosupremicist cult and its most vocal supporters isn’t support of gay rights. Especially when your state actively targets, humilates, exploits and deliberately gets gay people killed from outside your fascist ‘in group’ as a matter of state policy.

    bazinga they’re both evil! there, geopolitics solved.

    China pushes out the Japanese imperialists? The nationalists were right wing freaks and Mao would go on to kill 500 million people. Both sides bad.

    Red Army liberating Europe? Ummm, I heard they were stealing watches from dead Germans. Both sides bad.

    French Revolution? Ever heard of this guy? Both sides bad!

    • Far from me to hand it to the person in the post, but I think that was their very dumb point: that it’s already bad enough a nation of ‘religious crazies’ (how these people keep conflating Jewish religion with ethnicity and zionism eludes me) has nukes, so it’s OK for this nation to bomb another nation of ‘religious crazies’ with impunity, because God forbid any more of those brown people get their hands on nuclear weapons.

      From a non-proliferation perspective I would support it, but crucially most of the people crying out in horror because Iran may or may not have nukes soon are not calling for widespread nuclear disarmament, just for global south people not to be trusted with the doomsday toys.
