    I’ve seen Chem’s posts every once and a while, and ove held the opinion at this point that he’s a coin toss between a genuine principled opinion or the most terminally online hot take you’ve ever seen.

    Like his Iran posts drip with that annoying as fuck Western atheist drivel can’t admit that the IRI unquestionably had the more correct political line during the revolution while the Communist MEK stabbed the masses in the back by working with Sadaam.

    I’m sick of western leftists trying to do the whole “although I don’t like the regime” bullshit.

      I’ve always had an occams razor opinion to that sort of thing. [I know that’s not how Occams Razor works I just don’t have a better example]

      If

      I hate the Iranian regime

      But I support it against US imperialism

      And

      I support Iran against US imperialism

      Are effectively the same opinion, then opinion 2 is better because it “trims the fat” so to speak. Better yet, usually the first one spends 75% of the post complaining about Iran and such before saying “US imperialism bad.” Ergo the 2nd statement is also better because it focuses on the right point. Im hoping this makes sense typed out as such
