    Me: I like apples.

    You: Oh you like citruses? What about these oranges and clementines.

    You can make a commie out of a yank, but they’ll still be a yank.

      Why are you so afraid to answer the one extremely relevant question that will reveal whether supporting the toppling of a designated US enemy’s government in a time of war is a good idea or not? Is it maybe because you know the answer won’t look good for you? Is that why you immediately turned into a petulant teenager whining at me to “fuck off”?

      It’s really very straightforward. I’ll even simplify the question for you.

      Did US-led regime change make life for the people in Lybia or Syria better, or worse?

      Take as long as you need champ.

        I don’t, that’s just me in my normal everyday state 🖕

        And I won’t argue from a standpoint that’s not mine. So, yeah, “fuck off”.

          How sad for you

          And I won’t argue from a standpoint that’s not mine.

          Oh cool, so you don’t support US-backed color revolution in Iran after all?

            I’m fine with it 😊

            Oh cool, so you don’t support US-backed regime change in Iran after all?

            Iranian people don’t want that, they are aware of the ramifications of their actions, and I’m not arrogant enough to believe my pale ass knows better than them from the confines of my shithole western country.

              You seemingly don’t know better, judging by how eager you are to support the exact same imperial ventures with the thinnest possible coat of “this is totally what the people of the country we’re targeting want bro” paint slapped on. Were you also posting about how “Venezuelans are celebrating” earlier this year?

              How are Lybia and Syria doing?

                I listen to people. People say what they want. I say “these people want that”.

                I listened to Venezuelans. Venezuelans pro or anti Maduro overwhelmingly said they didn’t want that. I say “Venezuelans didn’t want that”.

                Kill the yank inside of you please.

                Edit: Fuck, I’d respect you more if you could admit that there’s a grassroots movement going on in Iran right now, but that it doesn’t align with what you think is the best move in the geopolitical game.

                  Nice line of bullshit, very convenient for your western leftist imperial pretenses of solidarity. Unfortunately, recent history has shown these pretenses to be exactly as anti-imperialist as the bloodthirsty empire they ultimately serve, which is why you desperately avoid acknowledging Lybia and Sryia. Just a shot in the dark: I’m guessing you also support the nazi puppet government in Ukraine.

                  Did regime change in Lybia and Syria make life better for the people there, or worse? You try to avoid this question like the plague, and I won’t let you.

                    Ukrainian people actually. I’d like them to not have a boot on the neck, whoever wears it.

                    You avoid this question like the plague, and I won’t let you.

                    And I won’t give you satisfaction, as hard as you may type 🤷‍♀️
