Ah my mistake I was scrolling past 400 cartoon characters. I guess that's a more consistent application of the theory of imperialism that leads people to apply it to Russia. Can't wait for the burning Iran flag.
It was a weird comment, unclear, I meant in the case of a hypothetical large scale war and people getting dragged into the same kind of BS about how Iran's govt is reactionary (obviously is on domestic shit, but a clear attempt to undermine the antiwar movement or justify sanctions and regime change shit like that needs to be treated as such)
But idk it feels like this is already WWIII so my vibes are off. I stand by my point about the Israeli flag
Hard agree here, though I will say we're pretty nuanced about giving critical support when the enemy is the greater satan.
There's a lot of issues with Iran's government, but at the end of the day that itself is a product of the US's own actions and at this point I think the vast majority of hexbear users would be rooting for a US aircraft carrier getting denazified in that event.
Right that was where I was coming from on Russia. Smashing the barely livable post USSR state because reactionaries are in power doesn't solve shit. Hell we got here by smashing the Ukrainian state with BLACKROCK but now I'm just trying to be clever
I totally get that, the modern Russian state is itself a product of western meddling and I have a really hard time being in spaces around liberals here in the west because of their open russophobia.
There's lots of issues with social reaction, but at least they're not evangelical about it. Half of the US is openly more reactionary towards trans people at this point.
