The February 27th edition of the Global Crisis Management Report is now available at: https://ow.ly/6MvE50YnEHE We will resume publication of the weekly edition on March 13th.

All at once, everyone is anti-war from the comfort of American apartments. A country filled with people who do not know what it is like to have bombs dropped on them. Who have never had their internet cut during protests so the world cannot see what is happening. Who have never lived under a regime where dissent can get you killed. Where dancing can get you arrested. Where showing your hair can get you beaten. Where tomorrow is never guaranteed. And now those same voices are telling Iranians how to feel.

Yes, I am anti-war with Iran. I did not think that needed clarification. The only people who truly benefit from war are the billionaires who profit from it. But being anti-war does not require mourning a dictator. The Iranian people have been desperate for years. A kind of desperation that no American can fully understand. The authoritarian control enforced by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is not just a human rights violation. It is a human rights catastrophe. A sustained system of repression designed to silence, imprison, torture, and kill its own population.

I am not claiming bombs equal liberation. But it is also not accurate to pretend that we are currently free and stable. We are already subjugated. Subjugated by our own regime. When conversations fixate on hypothetical future chaos while refusing to acknowledge present oppression, they erase what is already happening to us.

But watching those deaths immediately weaponized to invalidate Iranian grief and Iranian relief is something else entirely. Watching people who were silent when tens of thousands of Iranians were brutally killed suddenly find their voices now, and use those voices not to mourn universally, but to undermine Iranian pain, exposes a selective morality that is difficult to ignore. How privileged you must be to betray your people when hundreds of children were killed today

Everyone should read this

“All at once, everyone is anti-war from the comfort of American apartments. A country filled with people who do not know what it is like to have bombs dropped on them. Who have never had their internet cut during protests so the world cannot see what is happening...”

Well hello troll. I stand by my statement. Bring your evidence and refute it.

Trump 2.0:

-Bombed Iran (twice), Venezuela, and Yemen
-Allowed Israel to repeatedly violate a ceasefire and kill civilians
-Ripped healthcare and SNAP away from millions
-Deployed masked ICE agents to terrorize American cities

Just to be clear: Watch out for ice AND Watch out for ICE.
Both are cold and slippery and will kill you for no reason.
