Controversial General Political Discussion

[Apollo]

I don’t think people care about the pope that much lol. Isn’t like 30% of Europe atheist?

The world has about 1 billion catholics. If the pope was assassinated by a country you can be sure it would cause unrest and a massive shift in opinion against that state.
Besides, the pope doesn't have an army and armed proxies. Ayatollah does. And it does seem like a US strike is imminent.

Yeah I read about 10,000 dead

people may not like it, but this is probably around the time a foreign intervention is justified

Where did that 10K dead figure come from? Latest one today is about 500 dead, 10k imprisoned.

10 thousand dead is a massive number and I doubt it reached that. The Mahsa Amini protests in 2022 led to around 600 deaths. I doubt this wave of protests lead to that many deaths.

I’ve seen some reports from the intel community on Twitter. It might be overstated tbh

also you over estimate how many people care about religion deeply enough to go into a holy war over it. Even in the Middle Ages the pope had lost power to command armies

Legit no one in Iran cares about that

Yeah because they don't exist over there right ?

The Pope only lost power when France betrayed Spain

A few things to note:
-In Shia theology, martyrdom is a core theme and mobilizer. Its a long thing that you can read about, but I'd say they focus more on martyrdom narratives than other muslim sects.
-The Ayatollah is the core of the whole axis of resistance and his regime, if he gets killed that means the axis would go into a battle to deal as much damage as possible. Stuff like mining the Hormuz strait or rushing to make a dirty bomb.
-The Papacy in the middle ages could call for intercontinental wars and had armies at its command. While it lost the power in the current era, I liken the Ayatollah to the popes of that age.

The pope was losing power as nation states become more sovereign, and that just goes to my point. Nobody nowadays would go to war over the pope being assassinated

Cringe religion shit. And people wonder why atheist have a distaste towards it

MENA is a more religious region than most others. Just the way it is.

 

[CoC: Color of Clowns]

The 2nd image resonates deeply within me.

The Germans didn't have Internet.
They didn't have cell phones.
Their television service started in 1935

Many of them legit didn't know what the Holocaust was until the end of the war, because their country was imprisoned by the Nazi parties.

The USA? The country full of rich bankers that funded Nazi Germany?

We've been showing footage of our crimes against humanity in African, Asian, and South American countries, via the media for years.

People have known the US does to Arab kids what Nazi Germany did to Jewish Kids for decades.

THEY DON'T CARE, BECAUSE THEY'RE EVIL.

Modern Americans supporting this shit are SO MUCH WORSE than the Nazis, because they have EVERY bit of technology and information to show why what Israel/USA/Russia/China are doing is wrong.

We were taught ENDLESSLY growing up why this shit is wrong.

The Germans were ignorant and controlled, with limited access to information and history.

Americans are free and informed and live streaming their genocides, but look the other way like Ostriches with VR headsets.

The USA is the Mega Evolution of Nazi Germany. We're way past 6 million dead Arabs.

And now Soccer Moms are getting murdered for... driving around?

The 4th Reich is full of losers.

Tbh
If the Ayotallah falls

People who think this will kill the Axis don't understand that whoever replaces them will try to appease the religion of 90% of Iran

ICE be like: "We're fightin evil out here."

ICE in real life:

https://www.reddit.com/r/UnderReportedNews/comments/1qb7fqo

The kinda clowns that failed out of (clown) college, and got banned from the circus, since they couldn't tell the difference between people being funny and their lives being a joke.

Four deaths in the first ten days of the year…four lives lost because they committed the crime of wanting better ones…this doesn’t even include Renee Nicole Good or the other crimeless US citizens sure to be killed in cold blood throughout 2026 by the domestic terrorists in ICE…and I haven’t seen a single conservative show any decency, just a stream of AI slop mocking innocent people’s deaths months after turning the shameless bigot Charlie Kirk into a political martyr…these people will never hit rock bottom because they’ll just keep finding lower and lower depths of depravity

 

[Logiko]

Anti west brainrot. In logiko’s world an intervention during the Bosnian genocide is bad because it was lead by NATO/U.S forces

No. I'm not against intervention if they are based on international ruling or ethical necessities.

I'm simply against them when they are lead by imperialist or colonial interests. That's why I'm for an intervention in Palestine, but not in Venezuela.

Maybe your mistake is to think that an intervention in Palestine would be for philanthropist reasons.

This Political Thread should be closed. It hurts my eyes seeing the amount of inhumanity that is beeing justified here. The best thing the Admins could do is close this shit so it doesent expose the amount of Idiots that are lurking around in this Forum

People who think that Trump is seeking to own oil countries to lower the gas prices

Maybe your mistake is to think that an intervention in Palestine would be for philanthropist reasons.

An intervention in Palestine couldn’t be worst than a genocide… unless it’s just a bigger genocide…..

As a fellow Sakuragi bro who cares about Slam Dunk fans, please leave this thread and never come back bro. It's beyond saving

On that we can agree. But nobody is going to intervene out of charity.

Out of international law on the other should be made possible.
