    Israel already did their strike, and it actually had casualties!

    Iran’s strike was the symbolic one.

      I got confused, clicked your link and was like: Yeah…the guy is fuckin craycray…but what shoes??

      So maybe look up Iranian surplus? Or look to see who manufactures them? Maybe make friends with some people in Iran, in the military, and see how much of a bribe it would take to have some sent in your size?

    The imagery that comes to mind is a special israeli kid facing a football goal, ball at his feet. Behind the kid with the ball is an american, cheering him on and encouraging him. Across from them is an iranian goalkeeper.

    The israeli kicks the ball, the american cheers and praises as the ball slowly rolls across the grass. The iranian goalkeeper dives dramatically in the wrong direction, allowing the ball to roll in.

    The american raises the drooling israeli child onto his shoulders while the stadium erupts into praise and celebration of the kid’s accomplishment.

    It seems like they all behave like spoiled teenage boys

    I haven’t been living for long but is this because of patriarchy or simply gender agnostic idiocy?

    Whose brilliant idea was eye for an eye again?

        Patriarchy is quick to war and values physical aggression. If we were ruled by matriarchy the wars would be sparse and pragmatic. No dick measuring contests on geopolitical arena.

        You can disagree of course but you must surely notice that men are more prone to aggression and seek physical fights.

            Well it’s a nifty word to prohibit certain discussions and make everyone feel ok at all times. But not talking about something won’t make it disappear.

              It’s a word that describes a phenomenon with precision, which often allows for more nuanced conversations that are ultimately more challenging and useful. I’m not advocating for your silence by using it, just illustrating that your actions are also gross.

              You’re conflating “men” with “patriarchy,” which just reinforces harmful stereotypes about gender and sex. You’ve created a binary where one side is “bad” and the other is “good,” and used stereotypical narratives about gender to do it. You’re using the same harmful logic that the people I’m sure you most disagree with use.
