    I made nothing up. Iran didn’t begin this conflict. Iran doesn’t extend this conflict. Iran has attempted to deepen diplomatic ties with the US for over a decade; it’s the US that owns this conflict, full stop. If you want to argue for secularism, by all means, advocate against the ayatollah. If you want to argue for gender equality, LGBTQ+ equality, democracy, by all means, rally against the IRGC. But if you want a little more peace in the world, and not to worry about impending economic collapse from oil disruption, buddy you gotta stand against the US on this one. Bro can be a tankie, he’s like 0.2% of the electorate. It’s the 33% that want a christian theocracy, and the 1% that’ll give it to them for power, that are the real problem.
