The first time in a long time I haven't rolled my eyes at this term being used. In the context of the largest war in Europe since WW2, and in the context of doing something instead of just whining on Twitter, I can at least understand why this makes sense to say if you're a supporter of Ukraine.

Imagine trying to use Wikipedia as a gotcha.

BTW this may be a great activism strategy. take large amounts of perishables sold by Israeli/Israel-supporting companies and abandon or dispose of them so they have to be thrown out. hopefully, the stores will have to stop selling products of those companies.

Again, discussing voting rights. Iran has a supreme leader which makes voting meaningless.

This to me is a gigantic contradiction. If voting is meaningless, then so are voting rights.

I’m begging of you even if you disagree with Israel (rightly so), do not fall into the enemy of my enemy is my friend mentality. Do not forget the atrocities that the Islamic Republic has committed and is committing against its own people, including children. Do not forget Mahsa Amini and Nika Shahkarami and the millions killed by the Islamic Republic.

Sincerely, an Iranian.

Just in case you think these are all from journos with incentive to make Biden look bad, here's the world's biggest liberal media outlet saying the exact same thing.

I was discussing voting rights, not how good of a country they are.

And I was pointing out how voting rights are meaningless in a dictatorship.

You’re very funny thinking you can give an Iranian a lecture on how the Middle East works.

If you think your vote counts in the most restrictive theocracy on the planet, then clearly you need a lecture.

All 3 Abrahamic religions are opposed to homosexuality

And yet it's not Israel with the death penalty on it, is it?

Please don’t stand by the islamic regime for the attack on israel. The whole thing was a joke and all it did was endanger the innocent lives of millions of my people. Stand by iranian people who’ve been taken hostage by these lunatics for decades. The islamic regime was killing iranian children and hundreds of men and women not so long ago. Have you all forgotten? Its still the same fucking terrorist regime. Just because their beef with israel now fits global sympathies with palestine, it doesn’t mean the islamic regime is now benevolent. They’re the same fucking murderous regime that killed mahsa amini for not observing the islamic hijab and then proceeded to kill hundreds of people who protested against her murder. This iran-israel conflict will not hurt israel or benefit palestine. It will only hurt iranian people.

And that's why everything he says rings hollow. To put a spin on the meme, he's right, but he shouldn't be the one saying it.

#iran hasnt hurt civilians nor have they targeted them

Iran executes people for blasphemy. Iran executes people for being gay. Iran executes people for protesting against the government. Iran beats women and throws them in jail for not wearing the hijab. Iran is in the running with China and North Korea for the most evil and murderous country in existence. @lemonvest, how in the hell are you able to say something so utterly deranged and not realize how insane you are?

#israel is commiting genocide#israel is an apartheid state#israel is a war criminal

You people can't even condemn the world's most murderous theocracy without having to remind yourselves that Israel is still the most evil country to ever exist.
