I definitely support the right of women to uncover their hair in public without getting murdered. Yet you seem to be spending an awful lot of energy defending the regime in Iran.
It was actually no trouble at all to discuss Iran in a post about Iran. What would be weird is if I started bringing up non-existent countries from completely different continents.
In recent history there have been three apartheid countries.
Apartheid South Africa (interestingly enough at the end they were ONLY supported by Israel which even then recognized they were an apartheid country) which peacefully gave equal rights to all citizens, even though they described the citizens with unequal rights as terrorists.
Rhodesia, with delusions of grandeur of their own martial skill (huh, the metaphor is even better than I thought. I mean, who the fuck thought it was a smart idea to have a tank heavy army in an urban setting without screening infantry.) That fought against giving their unequal citizens rights militarily until they were defeated.
And Israel. Whom every black person that lived through apartheid South Africa and has visited the West Bank or Gaza has described as being far worse in terms of humiliation and lack of rights.
And you wonder why I bring up Rhodesia?
At this point, defenders of Israel are as morally repugnant as every white person in the eighties that defended apartheid South Africa or Rhodesia.
And no, a racist (which is a required attribute to defend apartheid) is not a diverse voice that should be represented.
Oh and that racist country is currently trying to do everything in it’s power to start a war with Iran, and drag my country into it. Also, all the weapons that racist country uses is paid for with my tax dollars, so every one of the twenty thousand or more children it has blown up is someone that is dead through my money. So yeah, it’s very relevant. I’m sick of paying for Israel to murder children of a people whose land it wants.
Do you really not see how Israel attacked Iran twice in an attack that would constitute an act of war with every other country in the world?
I love how you don’t mention that the US promised Iran a peace treaty if they ignored Israel assassinating an ambassador to the country in Iran’s capital.
How bad faith do you have to be to pretend that Israel isn’t the crazy one attacking everyone first and committing acts that the former head of the CIA described as a terrorist attack.
Israel is trying to enact a nihilistic regional murder spree, and it is obvious to everyone that isn’t okay with the systematic slaughter of children.
Twenty thousand child blown up, or shredded by shrapnel, or buried alive in a year. Multiple torture camps that keep civilians and doctors tied up tight enough that limbs are amputated regularly, the regular intentional targeting of medical personal, an apartheid government based on race.
That’s what you defend.
I don’t agree or like Iran’s government, but I don’t want a war with them. It says so much to everyone here that you read that as supporting them.
I just scrolled through three months of your posts while waiting for my wife to wake up, and had to stop cause that is boring as hell. Ugh. Not doing that again.
I found a single critical post of Israel when they intentionally killed the American woman in the west bank. But you didn’t acknowledge that they lied about it before acknowledging it, or that or was obviously intentional.
That is it. Now, I didn’t go the full year, so maybe there were comments before that.
I did find out about the Futo keyboard though. So thanks for that.
Also, just a heads up, Thunderbird for android has inserted trackers. The ui of fair email isn’t as nice, but at least it isn’t tracking you.
And yeah, ‘say it ain’t so’ about Neil Gaimen. Why is it so hard to not be a scumbag?
Also, the movie tusk was horrible.
… Just out of curiosity, and not a pointed question like the Rhodesia one, but how do you feel about New York City/State?
Netanyahu has been a criminal for many years, not just the past 3 months. His far-right partners should be disturbing to anyone who cares about freedom and human dignity. I’m not going to scroll through old comments to find examples for you though.
I like Thunderbird. They use telemetry in a way that is pretty standard, and it can be switched off completely if you don’t like it. I understand the philosophical objection, but I support the project.

You went to a lot of trouble to answer a question no one asked.
I ask again, did Rhodesia have a right to exist?
I will remind you that the Europeans in Rhodesia also viewed their existence as an existential fight against barbarism.
Apartheid countries always do.

As I already said, you are going to an awful lot of effort to defend a country that executes women for wearing a hair cover improperly.
I saw no defense of Iran in their comment. Like do you think everyone reading this cannot see exactly what you’re trying to do?
context: Iran launched at least 180 missiles into Israel on Tuesday
Yes we do see exactly what they are trying to do here. To be honest, I’m finished indulging it.

I don’t agree with or like Israel’s government, which I have stated publicly multiple times.
I’m not sure what you are trying to accomplish here, or what your obsession is with a country that existed for a dozen or so years half a century ago.

I try and raise awareness of biased mods when I can.
The Rhodesia option is the direction the Israel government and people have decided to take.
Morally they are the same thing. Defending one is the same thing as defending the other.
Apartheid governments are intrinsically racist.
Holy shit, seriously, thanks for the futo keyboard suggestion.

Check it out, apparently pointing out a comment is from biased mod team member is another group of considered incivility here.
Oh well
