“Lesser-evilism for me but not for thee”

This is a "let them fight" situation

I don't think people are cheering them on in general. Just cheering them on against Israel. Which, like…yeah. One of these countries has been committing outright genocide and murdering journalists and aid workers en mass for the last 2 years, and then provoked this latest attack by firing missiles at the other.

No sympathy for either except civilians caught in between.

The best thing in this is that Russia may receive less drones from Iran used to bombard Ukraine, so that makes me happy

Nah dog. We ain't cheering. We eating popcorn.

And trans people aren’t treated as equal and they are constantly attacked by their fellow citizens.

Oh wait that’s America.

I don’t know much about Iran, but do they have legalized slavery? Because America does.

Supporting Iran limits the ability of Israel to commit to their genocide, support Israel only enhances their capability to genocide and supporting neither only benefits Israel which make use of their partnership with the west

Hate Iran all you want, despise them, that's fine, but we need to pick anything at this point when the alternative is Israel

It might be better for the gays in Israel, but what about the gays in Palestine, or simply the people within Gaza?

You can reform a state to treat gay people like humans, you can't reform a genocidal state

Are we confusing governments for the civilians who live under their rule?

Meaning Isreal is behaving worse than them

Fun fact. Irans executions of gay people in its entire history didn't happen until after the Islamic revolution. Before then and all the way even before the rise of Islam, whatever state that occupied Iran now all had harsh laws against homosexuals...

But enforced none. Not during pre-Roman times, Roman times, early Islamic era, medieval Islamic era, modern Islamic era. None. Not until the 80s did it happen.

It means Iran absolutely can return to a time when homosexuals were at least ignored by the law.

Isreal is backing the party that wants to do that in my country. Fuck em

Did you know you can do both? Cheer the dick holes getting bombed by the dick holes? True story. Cheering dick holes is bad mmmkay.

There is concept on the left called "critical support" it broadly means we agree with that one thing you are doing, but we also do not agree with other things.

In this case we can say: For sure killing LGBTQ+ people is not good, but striking a country that is currently carrying out a genocide is a good thing.

P.S. if you have better source for critical support please send.

Yeah watching Iran and Israel fight I don't really feel bad for either side. Does suck for the civilians in the middle though.

Thanks to Project 2025, the USA is not far behind Iran.
