Still War

The war started more than a month ago when the US-Israel coalition assumed this was the very moment that the regime was at its "weakest". The objectives of their invasion since then have been changed almost every day. From Trump's "liberation" catchphrases (bullshit), to "weakening Iran's capabilities" (more bullshit), to the more recent "returning them to the stone age" (illiterate bullshit). What baffles me is not only how irritating he is, but the level of illiteracy that the "president" of the so-called most powerful country in the world has, who can't even comprehend the fact that Iran/Persia has one of the richest histories and cultures among all the nations in the world, something that any Iranian truly appreciates and any American brat (like Trump himself) has the dream of. Apart from disgusting comments from both Trump and Netanyahu, I also had to sit and watch more disgusting comments from some dear Iranians in diaspora who still think this war can actually help and free them from the Ayatollah(s). As an unfortunate member of this community, I cannot hide my anger. I'm furious that some still believe the very same leaders who command the total destruction of Palestine, south Lebanon, and Syria have any level of sympathy for Iranians. Oh, I forgot, IDF is issuing "warning messages" before attacking an area in Iran. What an amazing party they are that cares about Iranians. They will notify you to leave your house and forget all the money you spent on your future before they burn everything to the ground. They recently also warned the Iranians to stay away from "railway lines" and "trains," like sure, an average Iranian doesn't use them, and now it's cool to bomb infrastructures, but don't remember to inform them on a platform that nobody can use without internet (which btw, Iranians are still without internet after almost 40 days).

I have so much hatred for the Islamic Republic, which I have stated so many times that I'm tired of mentioning it again, but what is happening in Iran is not really harming them. The infrastructure, the oil industry, and the ports that are getting annihilated by the US and Israel are the assets of any Iranian who has ever lived and will live in that country and has any level of attachment to it. By sabotaging them, neither the IRGC nor anyone else in the regime will be gone, as they also have no care for Iranians, as we saw a couple of weeks before the war. I saw an Iranian "journalist" tweeting about how Trump should drop nukes on Iran so the regime leaves power, and I'm genuinely speechless by how people are effortlessly dehumanizing each other with no remorse. Are we that deep into the age of AI and algorithms that we don't have any emotions left for the struggles of others that deliberately cheer for NUKES?

Another thing that freaks me out is how people are sharing these AI-generated bits on their social media. Both the US and the regime are heavily pushing some AI propaganda that is somehow linked to the Lego out of any other element, and users share them and are like "haha this shit so tuff" like ffs people are dying at the hands of these clowns and you found it funny?

I'm so angry, and I have a lot of words to describe this anger. It's just so devastating to witness your country going through this chaos, and you have a bunch of idiots in diaspora imitating Trump's dance, Trump himself tweeting like Nicki Minaj, infrastructures getting hit, and those with power have zero care for the civilians. In the end, the people who lose are the weakest, and surprisingly, nobody cares about them.
