Ben Thompson is wild one. He refuses to comment on the illegal Iran invasion (while clearly hinting that he supports it) and then goes on to explain why during the Biden administration he opposes the gov't telling companies what to do, he adores it in the Trump admin. Every…time…

@matt_birchler So you don’t support the attacks on the regime that killed thousands of people? Would you rather they stayed and continue killing non believers or women who choose not to cover themselves?

I’m just saying we shouldn’t attack anyone who shows a bit of support. Ben can fuck right off with other takes but support Iran shouldn’t be punished

@josh9 @matt_birchler okay Josh, and what should we do about the country breaking international law for decades and committing war crimes and genocide today? Who have killed thousands of children and women. Who are an apartheid state. Please advise.

(Do NOT conflate this as support for the Iranian regime.)

@bardi @matt_birchler You tell me. Either choose a strong, democratic leader that people can rally behind (AOC for example) and flip over the various branches of government won over my the Republicans last elections by a landslide. Or, the other less fun option, make use of the 2nd amendment of the Constitution to topple over the Fascist regime in place if he doesn’t leave after his second term.
Your country has guns, and it doesn’t need the help of other stronger, richer countries

@josh9 @matt_birchler firstly, I am not American.

Secondly, you stated facts about the Iranian regime, in order to justify supporting the action taken. And, similarly, I am sharing facts about Israel, and asking you, what action should be supported in regards to dealing with them?

@bardi @matt_birchler Oh, sorry I just woke up I must’ve skipped over the apartheid part, makes sense.
I think something’s going to happen to Israel’s leadership after everything is settled. First Palestine and now they’re encouraging the US to bomb their other enemy, Iran.
Palestine and Israel have been in front of people’s minds for a while, I think one Iran settles down the conversation will move back to that so we’ll see what the politicians of the world do about it
@josh9 @matt_birchler you mean after there’s no Palestine.
