That’s fucking awesome. It could do some good work on the agitprop front.
I think so too. Someone should re-upload the version with subtitles on a video hosting platform other than X.
Thank you!
It is funnily good.
That’s what tankie tube is for
Eh, the attack on the school should’ve been earlier in the story to help illustrate that there was nothing Iran could’ve done to prevent the murder of the children (they were murdered in the opening salvo; if the war had begun without that attack, Iran could’ve at least had children stay home for their safety)
if the war had begun without that attack, Iran could’ve at least had children stay home for their safety
So if the US blows up another school full of children now that the war has started it will be Iran’s fault, is that what you’re saying?
What? That’s a very bizarre leap of logic; no, I’m saying Iran would’ve had the opportunity to do something. I’m working in Qatar and we had the opportunity here to switch to working from home, so at least the government had the chance to do something. If the military blows up another school full of children NOW, it’ll still be our fault, but I’m fairly certain Iran must have told their schools to stop operating for the war and I’m sure even the Iranian government itself would’ve wanted the opportunity to tell people to work from home and to keep their kids home. Every single missile dropping on Iran is our fault, even Israel’s, but I’m saying we didn’t give Iran a chance to do something to safeguard their children. Iran itself shouldn’t even be in this situation, it’s all happening because we’re partnered with violent inhuman monsters in Israel (our own military also being inhuman monsters). It’s not the Iranian government’s fault, but if you asked them would they have liked the opportunity to try and safeguard their children, they absolutely would have taken it.
I’m sure even the Iranian government itself would’ve wanted the opportunity to tell people to work from home and to keep their kids home
So you think that Iran should close down all schools across the entire country for the duration of the war? And if the war continues for months or years? Are those children supposed to be deprived of an education because the enemies are child murdering psychopaths? Are the children safer at home than at school? The Epstein coalition has already bombed countless civilian homes.
I don’t like the victim blaming you’re implying. Ok so Iran didn’t expect that the first target hit would be a school full of children. Normal people have difficulty imagining that someone could do something so evil and depraved. That is not Iran’s fault.
The people in the Donbass have been living under Ukronazi terror bombing for over a decade and they still send their children to school, unless the school is literally at the front line. Maybe they hold classes in bomb shelters sometimes, but life has to go on, for the sake of the children’s future.

We’ve never been at war with a power that could do to us what we do to Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and even Gaza; I genuinely don’t know what the best protocol would be in that situation. If I was a parent I wouldn’t even need the government to shut the schools down, I’d just keep my kids at home anyway, but I would need for a formal declaration of war and not simply a surprise attack in the middle of negotiations. Again, I have zero idea what the correct protocol is. Remember when covid hit and lots of people mishandled the situation because it was so new to us?

If I’m implying that Iran is at fault, then I’m doing so subconsciously and you can just focus on what I’m saying instead; it is not Iran’s fault they were attacked, it is an absolute war crime and it was definitely intentional (it was in the first salvo fired into Iran), but a formal declaration of war would at least allow Iran to weigh their options. If they decide not to shut schools down then that’s their choice and their schools CANNOT EVER be a target. Ask yourself this: do you oppose Iran having the opportunity to decide how to handle their school situation? Qatar had ample time to expect retaliatory strikes from Iran and they had us all work from home (and most likely shuttered the schools) days before any strikes came, but they had the opportunity to do this rather than get blindsided by attacks. We had no right to attack Iran in the middle of negotiations, and Iran had no chance to decide how they would prepare for the war.
The people in the Donbass have been living under Ukronazi terror bombing for over a decade and they still send their children to school, unless the school is literally at the front line. Maybe they hold classes in bomb shelters sometimes, but life has to go on, for the sake of the children’s future.
The people in Donbas and Gaza (prior to October 7th) have lived in absolute misery and I’m happy they still found ways to continue to educate their children; as I’ve said earlier we’ve never been at war with a power that could actually be of any danger to us, I genuinely don’t know what the best protocol is. Do you remember when covid hit? The government had some time to judge how to handle the matter, and yet despite that people acted entirely irrationally because none of us have been in a situation like that before. I don’t know what the best protocol to do in a time of war is, but if we had to go to war with another country that could do to us what we’re doing to Iran, I would appreciate a formal declaration of war so we can weigh our options rather than be blindsided and have the choice taken out of my hands. I DON’T want to discover the war began by hearing that the school my kid goes to got attacked.
I feel like you want to see victim blaming at work; I am blaming that the government didn’t issue a formal declaration of war and just conducted a terror attack on the Iranian school. Nowhere have I blamed Iran at all, whatever Iran’s choice is in the matter is their own, but they didn’t get the chance to choose.
EDIT: For a further example, a relative of mine had a stroke, and prior to that he’d experienced medical issues; unfortunately no one was there to help him because he kept it to himself. All I keep thinking for years now is if only he had told someone we could have helped, if only I’d known I could have tried something. He has a daughter who’s a doctor, a FANTASTIC doctor thankfully, but he didn’t tell her either. She says that it’s entirely possible even she might have missed the symptoms if she’d seen them, but I can’t get it out of my head that I wish he’d told someone so that maybe we could have done something. It’s not my fault or hers for what happened to him, but if we’d known that at least maybe we could have done something. I don’t like choices being taken out of my hand.
Then i think we agree. The blame lies fully with the criminals who attacked Iran. I may have misunderstood the tone of your comment and mistakenly assumed that you were saying Iran acted wrong for not closing the schools. And i apologize for accusing you of victim blaming if that was not your intent.
I probably could have worded my statement better; I genuinely hate our government and I’ve seen the horrors again and again and the bad faith arguments they make, and now Israel is in the mix as well. The government claims to want to help Iraq, but then destroys the civilian infrastructure, the government claims they want to help Libyans, then demolishes the civilian infrastructure, the government claims they want to help Iranians and then attacks a school in the middle of negotiations. Our so called enemies oppose us while doing their best to follow international law, and even before we go to war with them they’re trying to cooperate (I say cooperate, but I mean we put a gun to their heads and demand they acquiesce) and the government and military simply treat is as a weakness to be exploited.
It never stops burning me up that we put Iraq under sanctions, they actually acquiesced and stopped production of WMDs, and then we didn’t cease the sanctions and ended up murdering a million Iraqis, half of whom were children (to Madeleine Albright saying the price was worth it), and then when we threatened them with war, they allowed in investigators to prove they were following the demands that had been placed on them, and then we STILL went to war with them, and destroyed untold numbers of lives. We literally used the investigation as an exploit to find out if Iraq could defend itself and attacked when we were sure they couldn’t.
During this genocide with Gaza, this was when I found out Lebanon apparently had some kind of restrictions placed on them to prevent them getting defensive weapons; this is absolutely deceitful on our part and it’s had monstrous consequences.
Even in Trump’s first term; he says he wants to negotiate and I think it was he himself who asked for Soleimani, and then used that con to murder him. And this attack on the girls school was conducted in the middle of negotiations and as a surprise attack and as part of the opening salvo. Our country’s behaved with nothing but deceit, after deceit, after deceit.
And you’re absolutely right, even if the kids had stayed home, Israel was still striking people’s homes; Iraq had their formal declaration of war but I don’t believe they expected the US military to strike water plants and water treatment facilities, which would have left them in horrific situations. I recall when there were I believe Iranian hexbearers asking for advice on what to do in anticipation of war, and we had to see what we could advise to keep them prepared.
I 100% blame the US government (republicans and their sniveling democrat friends) and Israel; I feel powerless and I keep imagining myself making a call to the school on that day to tell them to shut down and beg them to keep the students at home, but obviously no one could have expected something like this (main character syndrome I know, but I just wish I could have done something). There’s nothing we can do and I hate that so much; one of the most powerful countries in the world is a murderous warmonger and we’re all stuck on the same planet with it.

On the contrary, there is so much you can do. Talk about Iran, join the solidarity protests, demoralize the yankee soldiers, talk about the children that were victims of the USraeli strike at Minab school.
Don’t give in to hopelessness and don’t fall into the lie of demobilization.
