    First off, “Israelis” are like the most backstabby traitorous monsters ever. They have no loyalty, read a fucking history book.

    Second: theres a fucking line. Stopping genocide is near the top of my priorities list. The point of having allies would be to do that more easily.

    The Iranian regime (mostly not the people. This is very much an imposed government that rules by terror, which means its one small political faction, ans they hate me ~20% less than their american counterparts, who ate more numerous and want me equally dead. They don’t care, and pre revolution were very very culturally similar to Americans. Even now it’s recognizable) hates the American government because they supported the mad king who tortured the shit out of everyone, who they overthrew during the revolution, and continue to support the “Israelis” who are an existential threat. Yeah they’re islamofascists, but half the US government is christofascist, basically the same assholes. If I met a random English speaking Iranian, we’d probably be able to get along. If I didn’t, we’d probably shrug and ignore each other until somebody ran a translation app.

    Yeah the Iranian goverent wants me dead. So does about half the american government. There are places I can’t go. I have friends in red states that are scared of being lynched (burned on a cross or hung as strange fruit, bit functionally the same). Weirdly though; the Iranian government, while homophobic as fuck, has state healthcare and isnt transphobic about binary transitions, so outside of the coasts, they’re kind of better. Not, like, enough that it matters to me, but marginally less bad.

    “Israel” is even remotely sane

    Okay youre tripping pretty hard, talk to me when you’re sober and have any clue what the fuck youre talking about.

    And who the fuck is this “we”? The us governments interests are not aligned with my own, or anyone I know.

        defending the Iranian government

        you didn’t read what I fucking wrote did you? but you do make a pretty good case.

        nothing makes Hezbollah look reasonable quite like hezbarrah does.
