Iran is one of the biggest instigators of genocide in the Middle East. Their proxy terrorist groups have been systematically wiping out religious minorities for decades now.

No, western proxies did that. Not resistance groups fighting an occupying force

[–] DMCMNFIBFFF@lemmy.world -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think some resistance can be genocidal.

Resistance can't be genocidal because the only goal is stopping the oppressor from oppressing the oppressed . The only genocidal state in the middle east is israel

Some Kurds might differ from you.

Ditto some women who think that they are entitled to the same rights as menfolk have, as well as the LGBTQI2Ss.

[–] deaf_fish@midwest.social -4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Just to be clear. You aren't saying Genocide justifies Genocide right?

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, that's not what I'm saying. How did you even get that from what I said?

[–] deaf_fish@midwest.social -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You replied to Bristlecone asking:

Right, so more genocide?

With some information about how Iran does genocide, does that not imply it?

Or do you just randomly post history in threads for no reason?

Do you have a brand new account because your last one got banned for trolling?

[–] deaf_fish@midwest.social 0 points 1 day ago

No sadly my old account was on lemme.ee, which was shutdown due to lack of admins stepping up. I was a member in good standing as far as I know.

Wait a second. You think this is trolling? How long have you been on the internet for?

Unless you don't think I'm trolling, but you are embarrassed because I correctly called you out. And now you're trying to distract everyone from your bad position by pointing a finger at me.

Who knows?
