Oh. Yeah. Someone should probably tell them that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don't care about civilian casualties. In fact, they might even be more likely to attack those targets, knowing civilians will be there.

If this happens we all need to be off our asses and in the streets. No memes, no shitposting, on the fucking streets. It’s already been way too long and far for this administration to continually hold the world hostage.
We don't need to let it happen first. We should be already on the streets.
im outside every single time but nothing crazy ever happens except police brutality like tear gas and arrests and energized republicans
Organize committees in work places and represent as labor. Don’t wait for the union leaders who stifle the power of labor for their own gain any chance they get. The working class needs to take this into our own hands as a class…not as individuals.
Classes need coherency and leverage in order to make demands, which is typically done by coordinating leadership. We have leverage, but how are we supposed to realize any of it without class coherency? If you can’t, then it sounds more like you’re aiming to create a new political party… right?
In another world, the government would help curate a coherent working class by strengthening and encouraging workers unions and coalitions between them.
The working class has all the leverage we need…. We literally make the world run with our labor, and the world does not run without it. We do need leadership, but independent of the labor bureaucrats, most of whom sell us out or limits our class struggle. Workers can form their own committees within their unions to start mobilizing their power.
I feel like this has been tried before, though, in the 1900s. What makes this time different? Would we have a better strategy, now?
They were successful in 1917. This is worth studying!
The first step is to build a unified movement, rooted in the working class, that builds a revolutionary consciousness.
Leftists in various parties/orgs need to unite around some basic principles and fight together. We need to unite around agreements while we continue to hash out differences for clarity regarding the way forward. Both can happen at the same time.
To not unite around agreements is to be sectarian, and this is castrating the power of the left….in addition to some parties and orgs actively pushing a liberal agenda, doing nothing but helping to build illusions that the bourgeois parties will work in the interest of the working class.
Tbf this should have happened under W, Obama, the first Trump admin, but especially since j6
They are going to need those if they want a country after regime change. The people showing up to defend what is their’s is a good sign.
For a bunch of far right fasicsts, it's truly remarkable how the MAGA idiots and the Likud+ maniacs underestimate ...nationalism.
If they think that will stop bombs, they're very much mistaken.
Although I suspect the Iranian regime know that all too well, and that this will solidify people against the invaders. It's hard to side with people who've just turned your family into mince.
This is pretty much the only strategy they have. Although their country is one third as populous as the United States, their defense department has less funding than Arkansa's public education system. Outrage from the America public is their only defense against US military superiority.
It's a good strategy. I'd be upset if my tax dollars blew up thousands of civilians making a human chain around a powerplant.
Hmmm, human chains ended horribly for the protesters a couple months back, I wonder how this will
trump anf isreal found the one way to rally the iranian people behind their government..
They should probably not do that. Trump doesn't give a fuck. They're just increasing their death chances.
He just TACO'd.
no but it helps the regime, by martyring them, and turning the public from other countries against israel and trump MORE. in the DS9 show, the CHangeling female, dominion proposed a plan to use meatshields, by placing cardassian citizens in around military compounds, power stations,,,etc. in order to turn the public against the rebels.
We are all watching around the world and we will remember and be inspired by their courage.
If they don't show up they'll be executed by the iranian regime. I can't tell who is more evil in this war.
Well only one side has bombed multiple schools. But it’s ok to think they both suck. Because they do.
Iran has been killing its own people for decades. Not to mention giving basically zero rights to women. I refuse to play ball with these bozos sympathizing with the iranian regime.
Did we forget about this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025%E2%80%932026_Iranian_protests?wprov=sfla1
Go ahead and edit the title of the article then.
I phoned a friend on this one. Showed him this comment thread. Who is Iranian currently in Germany watching bombs go off in his hometown of Tabriz. He replies:
"No man those protests started in the bazar of iran
That's exactly what islamic regime is claiming and killed civilians based on this
They say protesters were agents of mossad etc
This artice and what trump was saying is about later anfter what happened on those days
On 8 and 9th January there were nationwide protests in which thousands of people were killed on the streets by the government we don't have a number but it varies between 6000- 40000 thousands people based on different sources in those protests people were not armed at all"
He was at the protests lol
No christmas. You could still fly out of Iran normally then
You think they are willingly showing up? Iran kills protesters.
Haha this place is no better than reddit. Iran loves killing its people just as much as the US loves killing their people. There's no good guys in this fight.
Don't be such a hoser, pal. You know broad strokes don't make for very detailed representation.
Those people are showing up because they are afraid of their own government. I know I'm right. A mom does not show up with her kids as a human shield willingly.
If the iranian regime gave a single fuck about their people they would urge women and children to seek shelter.
"I know I'm right" isn't the compelling argument you might feel it is. Wouldn't you be a vocal supporter of your community in similar circumstances?
You mean if Canada was about to be bombed by Trump, would I be a vocal supporter of Carney asking women and young people to form a human shield on the patullo bridge for example?
No need to be a fervent supporter of the current administration to be a supporter of your community, and showing affront to the TACO.
I mean it's easy to say this now that he's chickened out. All those people could have died for zero reason.
Israel did cancel the concert that was supposed to happen on Oct 7th, and placed it elsewhere, someplace where the Hannibal Directive could be carried out without pushback. So I can understand your thinking behind it, but it's not how they function. For better or worse, they are a death cult, and Americans and Israelis are a killing cult, and the death cult seems to be winning morally.
Found the mossad agent!
These are Israel IDF talking points, the same IDF that ended up doing genocide in gaza. The enemy is both defeated and also so strong it can mobilize thousands of civilians against their will. And after showing fake concern for those "human shields" they exterminate them.
