    Literally nobody is “cheering on” Iran. As so many others have said, we’re cheering for the defeat of Israel. May they rot in hell.

    Imperialist aggression is wrong. Full stop. You don’t get to murder a bunch of people because you claim the moral high ground on one issue. The US never “brought democracy to Iraq” either. They killed a million people and ran some sham elections for the optics.

    Call me self-righteous all you want. You’re defending settler colonialist aggression. Give the Palestinians a chance at self-determination and stop murdering people in their homes. Then we can talk about LGBTQ rights.

      People literally are cheering on Iran, hence the meme. Lucky you for not seeing it. Please explain how pointing out defending a brutal theocracy is wrong means must I back a different one.

      You may not get this, but real life isn’t good guys vs bad guys, both states are evil. You aren’t obligated to back a side, you can just watch both evil states suffer. Or fuck it, cheer for Iran and assume anyone who doesn’t is a genocide apologist or whatever, I’m not your conscience.
