People are cheering on Iran out of pure spite, not out of genuine support for Iran.
The American people are tired of our government spending out tax dollars to support a genocide and then gaslighting us about it when we call them out. They are also persecuting dissenters on it. This has happened under both Biden and Trump, though Trump has leaned more on the persecution. We are fucking sick of it.
There is satisfaction in seeing someone stand up to genocidal Israel, even if the party doing so is despicable in their own right. I think people would greatly prefer getting behind a western democracy taking a stand, but we’re at a point where people will take what they can get. Especially with it being clear that the aforementioned western democracies aren’t going to do shit against genocidal Israel.
To non Americans, watching Americans trying to lead the charge against genocide, colonialism and unjust wars is a clown show to me. Especially because it will all be forgotten the next time the U.S invades another country.
I’m not against any of these ideas, I just want Americans to shut it and fix their own shit right now
Yeah, that’s valid we’ve been putting off self-improvement of our democracy pretty heavily since the last civil war for fear of another instead of just ripping off the bandaid and realizing it could have been done in reform if we hadn’t let the wounds fester, so to speak.

Speak for yourself. Iran has consistently been politically, diplomatically, economically and morally opposed to the Zionist entity since before I was born. I wish westerners had a shred of the empathy towards Palestinians that they pretend to have for gays in scary brown people countries when said countries oppose US interests. If you care so much about LGBT rights, go and fucking join an org in your home country, I’m sure you have plenty of far-right people committing hate crime against LGBT in your country, if not outright legalising it in the government.

Yes. Which is the very reason that they are getting critical support from many people right now.
I wish westerners had a shred of the empathy and everything after this point in your comment
Who are you addressing here? It seems like this isn’t aimed at me, but rather people who support LGBT but then are upset about other people cheering on Iran?
Would be imprisoned and/or mutilated in Iran for gay. Still wouldn’t want me and my family to be killed by Israeli bombs. If you support Israel, you are not an ally.
I’m a cishet male but consider myself an LGBTQ ally. I have been quite vocally opposed to Israel for a while now. I apologize if any of my comments here seemed to imply otherwise.
Critical support doesn’t equate cheering out of spite.
And yes, I’m addressing you, who finds it inconceivable the fact that someone will support, critically or otherwise, the “scary brown people country” that the US designated a terrorist state.
No you’re not. You are making some wild assumptions and going out of your way to twist what I am saying to build up a strawman. This strawman is what you are addressing.
Anyhow, we’re done here. You’re clearly just looking to pick a fight.

That effort was intentionally sabotaged after Lincoln’s assassination. So there’s that.

Stop pointing fingers and start uniting.
