Just smash. Doesn’t matter how. Smash smash smash. Or cover with paint or an oily plastic bag. Or just smash. They are always like 8 feet up. Smash.

I’ve been in this cycle for decades.

All part of the charm.

No it was a military dictatorship. What you’re talking about is how it is now.

I mean, I used to but it’s been awhile. You’d definitely want some conditioner or oil afterwards though.

Go bald and use Dr bronners for everything.

Love to hear this kind of bullshit while we drain trillions into the pockets of war-pigs.

I don’t know. I’ve seen way too many times how ‘both-sidesing’ ends up benefiting the main villain. I think that you don’t realize that your consent is being manufactured. What good does it do for a US citizen to criticize the government of Iran, at a time when our government is waging an illegal war on them? It only furthers the propaganda narrative that our military actions are justified in some way. Whatever crimes they have committed there pale in comparison to the crimes committed by the US-- one of a very short list of countries that Westerners have any business criticizing.

Sure, but I really don’t think that’s what this is about. As I said, we have a lot of westerners here who are unaccustomed to information from outside their gov approved narratives. Swinging wildly the other way (at least temporarily) is probably healthy and reasonable. Throwing up your hands and saying “both sides bad” while conveniently sharing a POV with the US state department really isn’t.

I never claimed to be immune. What I’m saying is that if you spend your whole life enconsed in a bubble of all-pervasive propaganda, don’t be so dismissive when you finally encounter perspectives and information from outside that narrative.

I guy I know picked up an aussie chick at the bar. Later, she apparently told him “I’m on a bleeder mate. You’ll have to chuck it up me dumper.”

Spaghetti sandwich on garlic bread is good.

You probably don’t speak any of the languages from the countries you listed. Almost everything that you know about them you’ve learned from “western” sources. You, like many others come to the fediverse and are exposed to counter narratives for the first time in your life. This comes as a shock, and you think that such people must be crazy, paid shills or bots. I encourage you to stick around, and actually read what people are saying.

Also, don’t mistake nuance for unqualified support. Do I like Iran’s government? No, but that doesn’t really matter. Right now my government (who does far greater harm to the world than any others you mentioned), is killing people there. I know from my experience and knowledge of history, that the US “intervening” is not going to end up improving the lives of the people there.

This is psychologically unsatisfying for too many people. At the core of capitalist propaganda is the idea the the rich and the poor both deserve what they have. In the US, we further buttress this ideal with something called “prosperity gospel”.

The political aspect of this writeup is so unnecessary and stupid. How can anyone be dismissive of the idea that Iran is under cyber-attacks? They are facing modern, full-spectrum warfare. Controlling the flow of information in/out of their country is a rational act given the situation.

Nano. It’s easy and I’ve never had a reason to change.

Halves.

Yes.

I’m afraid I don’t know much about it. I’m just beginning to learn about these kinds of alternative networks.

Take a look at a project called reticulum.
