Why i’m supposed to care less about iranian children being killed in war? Is it because their government is evil? Isn’t our government bad too?

      Jewish supremacists are just white supremacists. They get special Hitler privileges like the Rhodesians. You seen how they treat Ethiopian Jews.

    The government doesn’t care about children anywhere. They’re a political tool when talked about in the us, a method to get whatever legislation passed that they want that we’d otherwise oppose. “It’s for the children” is never about the children.

    When we bomb children in other countries, the government just doesn’t care at all and will just make up any excuses as to why it’s acceptable.

    The US market would price them in the low thousands iirc, significantly below their disappeared white girls. Unsure about native americans. What are you going to do about it?

        hey, I am not a liberal, if by removing my comment, you thought that, and you have sorta dampened my spirits by removing it. that’s fine. I am fully with Iran against this Imperialist war that is being waged against them. but putting the war aside looking at Iran 3 years back, would you say that the Iranian goverment is above criticism, and that their nation has no flaws in the eyes of a Marxist? that they are the sorta nation that the world of progressive leftists, and their struggle should strive towards?

      I think it’s a legit question, when there’s a tragedy involving kids it’s always a big deal, politicians yells about it and media coverage goes on for weeks. Personally i know there is no difference between children but i’m genuinely puzzled about what is the answer according to government and media logic.

        No reasonable person would say there is a difference. Media/government will chalk these kids up to civilian casualties that happen in any war. I hate it, I hate it happened, I hate the excuse I literally just gave, I hate that we are in a war, I hate that we do shitty things overseas, I hate that we do shitty things domestically, I hate that its a discussion. I still don’t think you’re asking a genuine question.
