      Riot now, what the fuck is the goddamn holdup!?

      You won’t riot, you’ll just move the goalposts to “if he invades Canada we’ll riot” or “if he puts minorities in camps we’ll riot” or “if he starts arresting political opponents we’ll riot” and then you still won’t when he does those things

      nah, you’ll see a couple protestors on your feed holding signs. feel glad that “at least somebody is doing something” and then continue to go into work, watch prime, netflix, game, etc. buy groceries. eat snacks. sleep in when you can. maybe write a few angry comments and share a few posts. but you value your life, and the lives of your friends and family.

      like everyone else. just waiting for “jesus to come back”.

      and thats basically it.

      no we won’t. we’re too tired and scared of losing healthcare when we get fired for rioting.

      what we will do is pray Iran uses one back. On mainland US soil. Heck, uses 50 of them back. We deserve, 100%, to get our teeth kicked in.

        Iran doesn’t have any. That fact that this idea has been normalized is ridiculous.

          i unironically think they should. the only place to have done war crimes with them is the Us, who should not have them. but if they do … everyone should.

            Maybe so. It doesn’t change the fact that Iran is not a nuclear threat and framing them as such is manufacturing consent for war.

                  yes. me too. the problem is finding innocents. that family down the road with trump stickers? not innocent. the one with hillary stickers? same. every veteran over the age of 75 that was not drafted, and every vet in the last 30 years is not innocent. every ceo and capitalist too.

                  the solution is no nukes. everywhere. but if america and israel “get” to have them, then everyone should, including the people who agitprop “tells” us will nuke us asap. “cost of doing business.”

                    I suppose you think Iran is full of innocent people? You think there aren’t Iranians who fully support the oppression of women, LGBT people, and other minorities? There are people with harmful politics all over the world

                    How many hundreds of thousands of children do you want to burn alive to punish those you think have done wrong?

                    You’re hoping children die because you’re angry about politics.
