Let’s be clear. I don’t support bombing anyone. I’m honestly just interested in what people think. There were no comments on this post so I thought maybe I could ignite some conversation because I’m curious.

I’m guessing nobody watched the video I posted which is fine it’s half an hour long ago I get it, but I do think it’ll give people more perspective. We don’t know how many Iranians want foreign interventions, but if all people in Iran who oppose the government (which is up to 81% according to stats), is it then, right to bomb the Iranian government? If the people themselves said “please bomb our repressive government!”?

I’m not to say what’s right or wrong and I also don’t know how much is true, but I think it’s worth thinking about. We don’t even know it would lead to any kind of good outcome in the aftermath. It could lead to more chaos and/or a more repressive regime for all we know.

Edit: screw everything I said, they’re bombing schools in Iran now

Turns out humans just suck! :D

Firstly: I’m not saying that bombing other countries is good. Authoritarian leaders also suck.

HOWEVER, I think this is better than Venezuela. In Iran, people are fighting for their lives and thousands have died to the repressive regime. In Venezuela, the US simply took out the leader and turned the country into their Colonial subject… there was no revolution to speak of, they just attacked. In Iran they’re at least helping the population in some way because they’re already fighting and they are fighting with no weapons.

Ryan Chapman had the honour of speaking to people from Iran who say that it’s hard for people in the west to quite conceive it but they are praying for war and intervention from abroad because they are running out of options. It’s a great video, I’d recommend watching it.

Yeah capitalism isn’t interrupt about free markets and competition or investing in yourself. It’s about the ownership class, and the labour class (those that work for the owner class, make all the money and get proportionally none of it). Companies are mini monarchies where you get no say in the policy, the ownership of the company is usually passed on to descendents, you live half your life abiding by the mini monarchy. You vote outside of work, but not at work, work is not democratic. Even so, governments are not mediators between workers and elite, the people that end up in government are of the elite class and have their own interests in mind. We only have our labour rights and aren’t complete slaves today because of very strong socialist movements during and after the great depression and ww2. They compromised with some socialism to avoid complete socialism, but these movements are of course not too frequently mentioned in history lessons
