Oh. Yeah. Someone should probably tell them that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t care about civilian casualties. In fact, they might even be more likely to attack those targets, knowing civilians will be there.
The US isn’t the only audience for this defiant display.
But the pedo is the one who will bomb them, and its clear he doesn’t give a fuck.
These people have balls. I wouldn’t be there. I think it’ll give him more reason to bomb them. Fuck this sucks.
US citizens need to show this kind of boldness come the May 1st general strike by continuing it for more than one day.
Also, what moron specifies an end date to a strike? That’s defeating the entire purpose of striking.
Step one is to get organized. Some morons know this.
Given the previous demonstrations, albeit too far and few in between, the numbers participating have increased each time.
I personally am cynical with the current show so far, but I remain hopeful that critical mass will be achieved. Agent Orangutan must be stopped.
You should be doing that before announcing a strike, not after.
Who is “you”? How can the general public get organized?
you mean the 3 day weekend everyone is planning on taking? really hard to get enthusiastic about this when most engagement is lazy, but like i get why they are trying to make it as easy as possible to claim people are striking.
The point isn’t what Trump thinks. Many people are not going to be there either. Some will be though.
Remind me of the consequences when they killed 160+ schoolgirls on the first day of their attack?
Among other things: the global perception of the US sunk to unprecedented lows, below even China. The US’s most steadfast allies have all rejected requests for support. This is a different world now and it’s uncertain whether the US can regain its prior standing.
It won’t for a few generations, and that’s only if we at least attempt to bring the architects to justice and go after MAGA and its supporters like the Nazis they are. If we fail to hold the common people who approve of and endorse this it’ll just be Reconciliation 2.0, they’ll stew in their hate and plan for their next overthrow.
It is refreshing to hear that there are some Americans who understand that.
International relations with the US don’t automatically become awesome after Trump is out of power (regardless how that exit happens).
You guys need to fix the stuff he broke, punish his co-conspirators and fix the systems that allowed someone like Trump gain the power to do what he has done.
That is going to take longer than a single reasonable president’s term.
The rest of the world needs to be able to trust that the USA won’t go down this road again.
Spain and Italy withdrew access to their military bases
That’s a strange thing to call an illegal atrocity. War crimes don’t cancel each other out, you know.
Israel is the bigger concern
Human centipede 🐛
They are going to need those if they want a country after regime change. The people showing up to defend what is their’s is a good sign.
Need which, the bridges and power plants, or the people?
yes.
If they don’t show up they’ll be executed by the iranian regime. I can’t tell who is more evil in this war.
You entirely made this up btw
You think they are willingly showing up? Iran kills protesters.
Haha this place is no better than reddit. Iran loves killing its people just as much as the US loves killing their people. There’s no good guys in this fight.
Don’t be such a hoser, pal. You know broad strokes don’t make for very detailed representation.
Those people are showing up because they are afraid of their own government. I know I’m right. A mom does not show up with her kids as a human shield willingly.
If the iranian regime gave a single fuck about their people they would urge women and children to seek shelter.
“I know I’m right” isn’t the compelling argument you might feel it is. Wouldn’t you be a vocal supporter of your community in similar circumstances?
You mean if Canada was about to be bombed by Trump, would I be a vocal supporter of Carney asking women and young people to form a human shield on the patullo bridge for example?
No need to be a fervent supporter of the current administration to be a supporter of your community, and showing affront to the TACO.
I mean it’s easy to say this now that he’s chickened out. All those people could have died for zero reason.
Israel did cancel the concert that was supposed to happen on Oct 7th, and placed it elsewhere, someplace where the Hannibal Directive could be carried out without pushback. So I can understand your thinking behind it, but it’s not how they function. For better or worse, they are a death cult, and Americans and Israelis are a killing cult, and the death cult seems to be winning morally.
Found the mossad agent!
Fuck Israel, fuck the US, and fuck Iran.
Oh yeah and fuck judaism, christianity, and islam while we’re at it. All cultists.
Now say that in Hebrew.
I’m not some idiot jew. If I was I would try to forget that language.
Did we forget about this? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025–2026_Iranian_protests?…
The “protests” that Trump accidentally leaked were started by armed agents of the US and Israel?
The “protests” that Trump explicitly stated he sent arms to?
The “protests” wherein armed militias attacked IRGC police, civilians, and in one instance a power station?
Those “protests?”
Go ahead and edit the title of the article then.
When the ‘kurds’ (aka mossad) admit they received and distributed the arms Trump accidentally revealed they were sent, sure.
aljazeera.com/…/trump-says-us-armed-iranian-dissi…
I phoned a friend on this one. Showed him this comment thread. Who is Iranian currently in Germany watching bombs go off in his hometown of Tabriz. He replies:
“No man those protests started in the bazar of iran
That’s exactly what islamic regime is claiming and killed civilians based on this
They say protesters were agents of mossad etc
This artice and what trump was saying is about later anfter what happened on those days
On 8 and 9th January there were nationwide protests in which thousands of people were killed on the streets by the government we don’t have a number but it varies between 6000- 40000 thousands people based on different sources in those protests people were not armed at all”
Your friend in Germany who hasn’t been in Iran for decades is definitely more up to date than the President of the United states… how exactly?
He was at the protests lol
ERM citation that the civilians are being used as human shields against their will.
Like not denying the executions, yeah that does happen. But it’s not the go to for every act of difiance, even just not showing up to a State Sponsored Rally
These are Israel IDF talking points, the same IDF that ended up doing genocide in gaza. The enemy is both defeated and also so strong it can mobilize thousands of civilians against their will. And after showing fake concern for those “human shields” they exterminate them.
Well only one side has bombed multiple schools. But it’s ok to think they both suck. Because they do.
Iran has been killing its own people for decades. Not to mention giving basically zero rights to women. I refuse to play ball with these bozos sympathizing with the iranian regime.
What about those of us sympathizing with the Iranian people?
If this happens we all need to be off our asses and in the streets. No memes, no shitposting, on the fucking streets. It’s already been way too long and far for this administration to continually hold the world hostage.
We don’t need to let it happen first. We should be already on the streets.
Very true
General Strike. Don’t work, don’t shop.
I don’t think US Americans are capable
Sure but there’s so many far easier things. Buy spray paint and go out at night and write some thoughts on the walls. Do easy things that are a little bit out of your comfort zone.
There’s no way the US is going into france protest mode over a president, it has been proven. Trump could kill half the country and the other half would go to work.
Unfortunately true. Half who voted still support him after all.
Tbf this should have happened under W, Obama, the first Trump admin, but especially since j6
Organize committees in work places and represent as labor. Don’t wait for the union leaders who stifle the power of labor for their own gain any chance they get. The working class needs to take this into our own hands as a class…not as individuals.
Classes need coherency and leverage in order to make demands, which is typically done by coordinating leadership. We have leverage, but how are we supposed to realize any of it without class coherency? If you can’t, then it sounds more like you’re aiming to create a new political party… right?
In another world, the government would help curate a coherent working class by strengthening and encouraging workers unions and coalitions between them.
im outside every single time but nothing crazy ever happens except police brutality like tear gas and arrests and energized republicans
Most likely, this won’t even come close to stopping the psychopath Trump.
Brave thing to do.
They should probably not do that. Trump doesn’t give a fuck. They’re just increasing their death chances.
He just TACO’d.
Yeah, but apparently this had nothing to do with it.
It might. Looked real bad when their palantir ai software helped kill all the children
What he say now? Let’s keep talking?
We are all watching around the world and we will remember and be inspired by their courage.
no but it helps the regime, by martyring them, and turning the public from other countries against israel and trump MORE. in the DS9 show, the CHangeling female, dominion proposed a plan to use meatshields, by placing cardassian citizens in around military compounds, power stations,etc. in order to turn the public against the rebels.
Trump on how to unite a country
If they think that will stop bombs, they’re very much mistaken.
Although I suspect the Iranian regime know that all too well, and that this will solidify people against the invaders. It’s hard to side with people who’ve just turned your family into mince.
This is pretty much the only strategy they have. Although their country is one third as populous as the United States, their defense department has less funding than Arkansa’s public education system. Outrage from the America public is their only defense against US military superiority.
It’s a good strategy. I’d be upset if my tax dollars blew up thousands of civilians making a human chain around a powerplant.
Remember when Osama Bin Laden killed all the NYC plutocrats and the US gave up on its imperial ambitions in the Middle East?
For a bunch of far right fasicsts, it’s truly remarkable how the MAGA idiots and the Likud+ maniacs underestimate …nationalism.
