lol @ “west/israel/free market”. I think you have an aliasing bug.
Why would leftists (or anyone) be confused who the bad guy is here? Generally as a rule of thumb for international conflict you can count on the left to be on the side of the underdog, no matter how naive a view that may be in a given circumstance.
- dorian-graph 9mo ago> Why would leftists (or anyone) be confused who the bad guy is here? Because there are literally pro-Palestine protests that have supporters of Iran's supreme leader[1]. I've seen a lot of comments and sentiment from leftists in support of Iran. What bug(s) do you have, that you didn't know this?

- justonceokay 9mo agoBecause someone held a flag in austrailia 8 months before this current Iranian conflict, you assume “the left” (globally!?) is in support of the Ayatollah? Even more rich because Iran is currently massacring their /leftist/ population who were protesting for rights like /free markets/. How does that dissonance feel to you?
- dorian-graph 9mo ago> you assume “the left” (globally!?) is in support of the Ayatollah? Where did I imply that, justonceokay? And no, I don't think every leftist supports the Ayatollah. Do you think every leftist, globally, doesn't support them? I was as vague as you were, in referring to leftists. I gave a concrete example of there being confusion about who the bad guys, since you questioned why leftists (or anyone) would be confused.
