  • This is why there's no "reach across the isle", no "appeal to the moderates", and no "bipartisan honor". These people are fucking devils, and we need to stand strongly as far away ideologically from them as possible. They won't reason to logic, they won't reason to honorability or law or institutions, so we need hard power to control this reactionary wave. Organize.

  • I just think that students [...] should shut up and be quiet

    I never said this. All my power to the students combatting the repression in Iran. My issue is absolutely not with the protestors, my issue is the framing of this in western media as justification for military invasion of Iran.

  • The protests and their coverage famously happened months after Iran was literally bombed by the US, have you forgotten about that? The whole Iran throwing missiles to Israel thing?

  • Hey I'm the one with both Hexbear and Reddthat accounts, not dodging anything. I'm just calling atrocity propaganda in the eve of invasion by its name.

  • The Iranian government doesn't have the power to suppress western media, and western media would publish every single of these videos like wildfire.

  • Obviously, I never doubted it, but you can't jam 6000 starlinks, so it was still possible for videos to come out of Iran.

  • Not a tough line to walk, really. I see no constant stream of news on Lemmy about Qatar being an apartheid state with 80% of migrants without rights, or Saudi Arabia's similar policy. No constant stream of posts about mass incarceration of black people in the US, of Nazis roaming the streets of Madrid and Paris...

    Deciding what news to publish is itself extremely political, and focusing on atrocity propaganda in Iran, a heavily sanctioned country against which there's an ongoing US military buildup on the verge of invasion, is willing and a form of atrocity propaganda. It's designed specifically to make progressive people less critical of the upcoming strikes, and judging by the number of upvotes these posts get, it's working.

    5 years ago there wasn't this constant stream of anti-Iranian propaganda, it was Venezuela, and we've seen the results. Learning to distinguish the workings of propaganda is critical to any progressive, and it allows us both to be more resistant to propaganda and to use it better (for example by relentlessly posting about Palestine or the ICE, we can similarly engage in what I consider good atrocity propaganda).

  • My point is "capitalism subordinated to the state like the USSR" is an extremely misleading claim, and it's often used by anticommunists who make uninformed accusations of "USSR was state capitalism so it was the same as capitalism" without knowledge of the topic. If that's not the claim you're making, I apologize

  • You cannot frequency jam an entire city either bruv, the way they were preventing Starlink usage was by detecting emitted radio signals of that frequency and going in person to arrest the users and confiscate the equipment.
