Me too until I realized it also saved lives

Yes, your racism is clear, you think democracy and peace are only for Westerners

Free Iran! I honestly donโ€™t know the best way for this to happen. But it must.

As a Middle Eastern myself, I confirm.
But just like Gaza is not Hamas, Islamic republic is not Iran, so let's not use one word instead of another.

The Islamic Republic are "the invaders". Iran has been occupied for 47 years. America and Israel are the rescuers. Iranians BEGGED them to attack the the IR. U.S. and Israel are sending targeted attacks, destroying the IR's military HQ. The places they used to massacre the Iranian people.

No, IRGC parents sending their girls there especially during war are to blame. Not America.

The Far Left was silent when 30,000+ Iranians were brutally slaughtered just days ago.

Now they're shouting for 'no war.'

Listen to what Iranians say.

Continue to ignore it as 30-40K people (including kids) are murdered in 2 days, bodies held hostages, womenโ€™s bodies mutilatedโ€ฆ

Then when the regime is targeted, bring up international law from your sofa to join the virtue signalling crowdโ€ฆ

07.03.2026 15:01 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

So, go ahead, ignore international when it suits you, when a bloodthirsty regime oppresses its people, denies basic human rights to women, labels who they want as an enemy of Islam and hangs them from a crane, uses proxies in the entire regionโ€ฆ.

1/ How did I break this international law ?
2/ Itโ€™s funny to bring international law when it can be used to display virtue signalling, but ignore it when mullahs break it every day. In the end, international law protectsโ€ฆ bloodthirsty tyrants

Itโ€™s easy to talk like this from your sofa in I donโ€™t know what privileged country that didnโ€™t suffer from countless bloodshed with a mullah always behind it.
Of course a war is not good. Sometimes itโ€™s the only way out

If you have never rushed into a shelter in your entire life, if you have never lied with your hands over your head in the middle of the street, just stop imposing your point of view on wars. Itโ€™s that simple.

07.03.2026 14:33 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Iโ€™m just tired of Westerners living with Western privileged who have never known war in their entire lives to feel entitled to lecture others, speak over them, erase the hope we are hanging on just to survive, etc

Oh and Iranians are a very educated and organised people, they donโ€™t need anyone to have a plan for installing a long lasting democracy. They already have theirs, theyโ€™re not incapable people who canโ€™t handle democracy.

07.03.2026 14:27 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

1/ I didnโ€™t break any law, international or not.
2/ I have stopped expecting anyoneโ€™s (even conditional) sympathy for a very long time.
3/ Iโ€™m just a human, not inherently virtuous or good or right, just like everyone else.

Pathogen Factors Promoting Fungal Infection
Infectious Dose
- High initial inoculum exceeds immune clearance
Immune Evasion
Eg:
โ€ข B-glucan masking (C albicans, Histoplasma capsulatum)
โ€ข Capsule formation
(Cryptococcus neoformans)
โ€ข Melanin production (dematiaceous fungi)
โ€ข Biofilm production (Candida spp., A fumigatus)
Tissue Tropism
Examples:
โ€ข Aspergillus fumigatus for lung parenchyma
โ€ข C neoformans/
C. gattii for CNS tissues (meninges)
โ€ข Basidiobolus ranarum for bowel wall
โ€ข Trichophyton spp. strict tropism for keratinized tissues
โ€ข Aspergillus and Candida spp. for external auditory canal
Host Factors
Enabling Fungal Persistence
Immunosuppression or Innate Immune
Deficits Examples:
โ€ข CARD9 deficiency
โ€ข Diabetes mellitus
โ€ข Idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia
โ€ข Hematologic malignancies
โ€ข HIV/AIDS
Conditions and Comorbidities (Non-immunosuppressive)
Examples:
โ€ข Chronic lung diseases (e.g. prior pulmonary TB, COPD))
โ€ข Eczema/atopic dermatitis
โ€ข Heightened estrogen
โ€ข IVDU
โ€ข Previous surgeries
โ€ข Smoking
โ€ข Wounds or burns
Clinical Factors
Delaying Disease Resolution
Antibiotic and/or Steroid Use/Misuse
Eg:
โ€ข Bacterial pneumonia abx for coccidioidomycosis or histoplasmosis
โ€ข Topical steroid misuse for ringworm
Delayed Diagnosis or Misdiagnosis
Delayed diagnosis due to:
โ€ข Non-specific or overlapping clinical presentation
โ€ข Empiric treatment
โ€ข Limited access to diagnostics
โ€ข Long test turnaround times
โ€ข Lack of provider awareness
Misdiagnosis
Immunosuppressive Regimens 
Eg:
โ€ข Chemotherapy
โ€ข Organ transplantation
Steroids
Chronic Disease States
Affecting Body Systems
Respiratory
โ€ข Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis
โ€ข Chronic pulmonary coccidioidomycosis
โ€ข Chronic cavitary pulmonary histoplasmosis

The more I see reactions like this, centring the discussion on an US presidentโ€™s oversized ego when itโ€™s about an entire regionโ€™s safety, the more I understand why so many people are radicalising. Iโ€™m not there yet but Iโ€™m a human and canโ€™t guarantee it wonโ€™t happen to me as well.

Destruction of oneโ€™s society is actually what the mullahs have been doing for almost 50 years now.

I donโ€™t know a single person inside Iranโ€”family, friends, people in contact with orgs Iโ€™m involved withโ€”who opposes the intervention. โ€œDonโ€™t dieโ€ for them isnโ€™t about strikes, itโ€™s about daily lives under this regime.
Highlighting an outlier POV as an unquestionable truth is low, @theguardian.com

Middle Easterners arenโ€™t very forgiving people actually. We will never forget all those who tried to silence the voice of our peoples and centre the discussion on an US presidentโ€™s oversized ego.

Anonymous who says Iranian government instead of regime, that says a lot.
Those who had nothing to say about 30-40K targeted, tortured murdered in 2 days, bodies held hostages, executions of minors are suddenly waking up.
Meanwhile, IRL the dominant position ๐Ÿ‘‡
