Iran killed way more than just tens of thousands, it was more like five gajillions

But…states DO exist, and some states are shockingly violent while others are required to exist to repel the violence of those states. When you have a war between a majorly powerful state or a superpower (America) and a much weaker global South country (Iraq, Iran, Vietnam, Korea, etc), sure, you can take the stance of not supporting any state, but the weaker state are the ones in the role of defending the people of their state. Taking a neutral stance in a situation like this isn’t neutral at all, it’s of benefit to the stronger power.

I can say I don’t support any state, but then you have France for example assassinating leaders in Africa and we can see the tangible results. Neo-colonial countries also claim to support the people of the nations they invade, and yet the results they produce always look like horror shows for those people.

I recall an Israeli saying (as a complaint, which was weird) that they (only) get 3-8 minutes warning time when a strike is about to occur; Palestinians before October 7th used to get at most up to two minutes before Israel would strike their apartment buildings (I recall Palestinians saying it was thirty seconds) so by Israeli standards they’re getting a ton of time to be honest. At worst it’s 50% better, at best 300%, so I don’t know what the issue is.

Media and politicians: “Israel is America, they ARE us”

I used to work with a lib and I remember trying to explain to him just why people in China revolted, just how bad, just how dire their circumstances were; he never did seem to understand why workers should exist as a unified party or why all workers should have solidarity with one another
