Focus that rage upward.
I have such distain for our military industrial complex and ICE, but I recognize so much of the problem is desperate people taking desperate measures. They decided it's better to risk your life in a foreign war than it is to be home watching you and your family whither away with no healthcare, education, or money. I don't agree but I can understand- debt will put anyone in a pressure cooker. Two things can be true at once- being a stoog for American imperialism makes you horrible, but people who are stooges can still be people to show sympathy for when you consider the factors at play.
When the revolution comes, as all revolutions do, it is only when the military allows the people to storm the gates. In my head we don't need to thank service members as much as say I'm so sorry what this country did to them.
I'm Persian, from Iran. I don't give a fuck why those yank butchers signed up to go murder my family. They already killed my moms side in Iraq now they're going to go kill my dad's side. Fuck them and I hope they burn in hell. I wish they would skip to the part where they shoot themselves drunk and spare my family that remains in Iran.
But it is Iranians in North America urging Trump to invade.
350,000 chanting "King Reza Pahlavi", they want to restore the monarchy and bring back the elite class.
Yes, let's listen to people living in the US constantly under US propaganda apparatus who won't suffer the consequence of invasion instead of, you know, actual Iranians living in the country
