How cute, you're a millennial and so you think that makes you special. You've been exposed to imagery of a war on the other side of the world and so you think it entitles you to be an asshole to people where you live.

It may be hard for you to accept, but you're not all that much different from the boomers. Just mindlessly consuming things on the internet that make you angry. Not giving any thought about who is making you angry and for what purpose. Boomers tend to gravitate towards the Russian propaganda, while you gravitate towards Chinese and Iranian propaganda.

The only thing that I find offensive about the Iran conflict is that western lives and resources are being wasted fighting people we have no reason to hate.

The Iranian regime is making you hateful. It's easier to convince people of lies than it is to convince people they've been lied to.

My conversations with younger generations are basically identical to my conversations with boomers. Same tendency towards conspiracy theories, same distrust of any media source that's not conforming to their feelings. Your generation doesn't make you anything special.

    I haven't been exposed to shit. Have you not been listening? I don't feel any particular sympathy for China, in fact I firmly oppose those trying to lean my country towards them. I don't have many sympathies for Iran either, though I do have some sympathy for those who opposed the regime. It's unfortunate they're likely entirely dead now thanks to the dipshit in the White House. I don't appreciate anyone trying to push propaganda on me, whether it's Russia, China, Iran, The US, Google, Microsoft, Open AI or Nvidia, or Israel. I had to learn to breathe underwater in the sea of propaganda and lies from every direction.

    For example, I can see you trying to twist a comment on American corporate bullshit, and the world being a better place when America finally falls apart, because a sick and dying whale thrashing around is more trouble than all the chaos of a multi-polar world, and trying to turn it into a debate on the middle east because you only care about Israel. You're irrelevant and I will forget you tomorrow, just like all the propagandists that came before you.

    I don't think you're listening.

    You're on the internet, you've been exposed to foreign propaganda. If you're conscious of it, you'll be able to better spot it.

    If you insist on being so naive and pretend everything that makes you outraged on the internet must be real, you're open to manipulation.

    But that's just it, I am conscious of it. That's why I can safely discard it. That's why ads don't work on me anymore. That's why this conversation doesn't matter in the slightest. Now, I'd appreciate you letting it go because this digression is an obvious attempt to create a tempest in a teapot.
