This screenshot is cherrypicked and (maybe) not a good representation, but this is the tier of discussion going on in the worldnews live thread:
I genuinely cannot even fathom this thought process
It’s most likely a fed account trying to soft-launch this idea that Iranians want to be bombed. Don’t fall for it
Of course!
is this satire
World News is a zionist cesspool, and even there we can easily find criticism against US and Israel. They are definitely going to work overtime to keep censoring it though.
reddit cannot exist without bots and cia psyop pumping up their engagement matrix
Usually during the opening days of a conflict I keep an eye on military subreddits. So far, with 72 comments in that thread, I see one pro-war one (https://www.reddit.com/r/Military/comments/1rgvv3w/comment/o7uf6pb/) which is sitting at -21 points and one positive reply versus three antizionist ones. Everyone else is having a similar response to comments I’d see on here. The Epstein Forever Wars, Iraq comparisons, “American geologists looking for oil” with US soldiers, war is a racket and why can’t we build infrastructure instead, etc. Maybe the tone will shift over the near-future but currently commenters there are hostile to the war.
This thread covering the 5th Fleet HQ strike in Bahrain on /r/Navy is the most biased thread I could think of. Right now (12:00 UTC) that’s the only specific airstrike against the west that’s getting significant media coverage. There are a few more pro-war comments, but the sentiment so far with 99 comments leans anti-war. Some commenters are concerned for people they know on the bases, some are casually breaking OPSEC without mods cracking down yet (fun mission: archive all the military subreddit threads this morning and maybe you’ll get some troops arrested), some are debating the strength of Iran’s military, and the sentiment is openly anti-Trump.

I’ll endure some discussion with liberals later, hopefully I’m patient enough to debunk all the vile they repeat and make it clear the west are (as always) the bad guys
Godspeed to you, comrade. I find that a great tremendous deal of lib-rotted Westerners on the Internet absolutely love their imperialism. I find that folks outside of the cybersphere are far more receptive to real-world analyses than the dogmatic idealists online. Anyone who supports imperialism, I see them as nothing more than an enemy. Even during my radlib days, I was anti-imperialist despite lack of exposure to anything but Western propaganda. These people, I’d wager, have a similar exposure to the same information I was exposed to as a radlib. If despite this, they cannot at the very least, adopt a staunch, anti-imperialist stance and show some empathy for the casualties that have already happened and will only increase, they should be regarded as antagonists to the oppressed and should be given no quarter.
