Why i’m supposed to care less about iranian children being killed in war? Is it because their government is evil? Isn’t our government bad too?
Because America already doesnt give a fuck about dead kids. Sandy Hook proved that.
Always has been, see Orientalism by Edward Said: https://newcriterion.com/article/edward-saids-ldquoorientalismrdquo-revisited/
American society in general acts like that
I think you already have the answer, and know everyone else here agrees with you.
Everyone in West Asia is subhuman to the Jewish and white supremacists.
Jewish supremacists are just white supremacists. They get special Hitler privileges like the Rhodesians. You seen how they treat Ethiopian Jews.
Here’s a very simple graph that breaks it down:
The US market would price them in the low thousands iirc, significantly below their disappeared white girls. Unsure about native americans. What are you going to do about it?

Is this real?
The true role of government (i.e. power) is to perpetuate itself. Regardless of what ideology it dresses itself with, that is its goal and function. Not to serve the people it governs, not to protect them, not to further their wellbeing, health, and happiness etc. This applies to all governments/governing systems, though there is a spectrum of heavy handedness upon which they exist.
I’m not saying that’s how it should be and I’m sure there’s an exception or two out there. There are systems that are more permissive/open and subjectively more optimal to live under (I wish I lived under a better one) but the same still applies. Benefits/rights for the public typically need to be forced from the system or the benefit/right itself must somehow ultimately serve and benefit the overall system more and/or aid in its perpetuation.
So, the answer is, you’re supposed to care about whatever your heart cares about because none of the people in power give a single shit about the children or any of the people they govern. The Iranian government does not care, the US government does not care, the Israeli government does not care, none of the European governments care etc. Giving a fuck about the faceless masses is not their function. Maintaining and increasing their power, control, and wealth is.
The whole thing is just a distraction from the epstein files. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t care about the innocent lives lost.
The US government doesn’t care about children anywhere. From Sandy Hook to Gaza to Tehran.
Certain members of it care too much, way too much.
Vast majority.
“The party of life”.
who said that? dont listen to racists
It’s more about what is not being said: more than 150 iranians kids recently died in a bombing and it was on the news for only two days, no minutes of silence or football teams wearing a badge for the victims, no politicians condemning what happened and sending wishes to the families involved.
The government doesn’t care about children anywhere. They’re a political tool when talked about in the us, a method to get whatever legislation passed that they want that we’d otherwise oppose. “It’s for the children” is never about the children.
When we bomb children in other countries, the government just doesn’t care at all and will just make up any excuses as to why it’s acceptable.
Children don’t have money, why would the US govt care about them?
Here’s a blatant example of this
Where I am, our premiere made his election before Covid (sadly Covid happened and he got a second term because of it) all about a reorganizing the educational system. Some kind of integration of kindergarten and school system, he said (I kid you not, this is so cringe) that he got into politics for the kid. People believe him.
Now his integration plan is underway and kid are paying, service are eroding without the plus value promised. Specialist called it, people didn’t believe them
Kid are political pawn nothing more
It’s human nature to care about those close to you more than those far from you.
It’s estimated that 30-40 children died on Oct 7th. Consider the reaction most (white) Americans had to that event to the 165 schoolchildren killed in Minab recently. Neither Israel nor Iran are meaningfully “closer” to Americans than the other.
Israelis are painted white by US media, Iranians are painted brown.

Europe is closer to Iran than America
Geographically yes, but I was mostly referring social and ideological distance tend to be even more important that geography, especially in modern times.
Goal post moving doesn’t sound too rigid now does it? Human nature seems to be awfully flexible in the right hands
Saying “people consider them to be closer to those they talk to the most” isn’t moving the goalposts. I’m sorry I didn’t dumb it down enough.
No, you said that now, in modern times, that means ideological closeness, not merely geographical. Somehow, human nature seems to have shifted. If it can shift like so in the transition to modern times, I don’t suppose this appeal yo human nature could also shift in an imagined future. That it is not such an immutable quality - that even you have conceded as such by your own reply.
Absolutely. It doesnt make it factually correct, but personally. Kid in my area is in ICU after getting attacked with a hammer. Thats so much more worrying to me than school shooters in America.
Obviously one is worse than the other, but one happened near me and one is an ocean away.
That would be fair if the USA government or MAGA peeps showed any care for USA children.
No, they aren’t. No, you shouldn’t care less. No, that doesn’t matter. And unfortunately yes, it is.
