  • People aren’t cheering on Iran exactly. It’s more like, we are doing some seriously fucked up stuff, and Israel is doing some fucked up stuff with U.S. support. People don’t like it, especially when we seem to have gone to war for legit no reason.

    Instead of bombing other countries, it’d be nice if we focused on things at home, like proper Healthcare, affordable groceries.

    What we got instead is a government trying to simultaneously distract from issues at home, and instigate what I’m guessing is a terrorist attack at home so they can declare an emergency and try to cancel the election.

    So, yeah, right now, a lot of people are pretty understanding of Iran fighting back.













  • I mean, anybody can comment. I remember back when I regularly used reddit seeing wildy incorrect statements on the science community, and then when I would occasionally correct people on the stuff I actually am an expert on, I’d get downvoted for it, while the original post continued to get upvoted.

    People often assume upvotes means they’re right. And humans naturally seek social approval and acceptance, so it’s not that surprising.

    All I’m saying is don’t take it personal. It’s unfortunate to see stuff like that. But you can’t really stop it, and the alternative is censoring them, which I’m not a fan of either bcz they didn’t do anything egregious or try to spread misinformation.
