You know, Iran was once a nice democratic country, not so long ago. Only to get a coup organized by the most democratic and peaceful country ever and installing a bloody dictator instead.
Yes, I did know that history happened. Did you know that this doesn’t make Iran or its proxies the good guys?
Did you know that German nationalism and militarism can be traced back to the thirty years war, and that thanks to the involvement of foreign powers areas of modern Germany experienced population declines of over 50%. Did you know that Germans being victims in that war, doesn’t mean the Nazis were the good guys?
You know, Israel once had a ceasefire with Hamas not so long ago. Only to get attacked by Hamas on October the 7th. Did you also know that this doesn’t mean Israel are the good guys and that this is not a valid excuse for Israel arguably committing crimes against humanity in Gaza?
Did you know that the Umayyad Caliphate colonised Southern Spain? Did you know that this doesn’t mean the Spanish and European far-right are the good guys when they use the story of the reconquista to justify their Islamophobia?
What’s that? Too much history? We’re only allowed to go back to 1953?
But hey, thank you for proving my point about lemmy.ml being full of contrarian and anti-imperialist top minds. The kind of people who think they’re left wing, but then make excuses for an Islamic theocracy which kills young women for protesting for their rights.
