You seemingly don't know better, judging by how eager you are to support the exact same imperial ventures with the thinnest possible coat of "this is totally what the people of the country we're targeting want bro" paint slapped on. Were you also posting about how "Venezuelans are celebrating" earlier this year?
How are Lybia and Syria doing?
I listen to people. People say what they want. I say "these people want that".
I listened to Venezuelans. Venezuelans pro or anti Maduro overwhelmingly said they didn't want that. I say "Venezuelans didn't want that".
Kill the yank inside of you please.
Edit: Fuck, I'd respect you more if you could admit that there's a grassroots movement going on in Iran right now, but that it doesn't align with what you think is the best move in the geopolitical game.
You’re not listening to the people. You’re listening to comprador plants.
Interesting! But I genuinely make it a point to listen to people living inside the country. Iran in this case. And go out of my way to find texts that are seldom translated into any language I could read more easily. I appreciate how fortunate I am to have easily accessible translation tools; they help break that big educational barrier between my underclass ass and the world.
It's in my AntennaPod playlist.
I'd say this doesn't teach me anything I wasn't aware of, but it's a good nonetheless.
Sorry but no.
