    Thank you for being patient. This morning I woke up to the news that distant cousins of mine were executed in the West Bank.

    You can make rational arguments, but I am at the point that I just want revenge. They’ve been massacring for almost a century now, nobody in their society is innocent. I don’t care if I sound crazy saying this, I would side with the devil if it meant wiping them off the map.

      Stink, as someone who also is following this war with constant updates, I understand your frustration and your desire for imperialist blood.

      However, I will share with you a simple sentiment that I have found in the Iranian Telegram channels that I am currently subscribed and that is: “We are not like them”.

      It is simple yet powerful. We are not like those imperialists/fascists/zionists. We are not like those beast so we don’t need to fight like those beasts. Beasts like them are inhumane and genocidal. They don’t even care for their own people -> https://lemmygrad.ml/post/11040580

      They only worry about profits and plundering the world. That’s the place where we have to fight. We will defang the tiger and take their teeth away which will nullify their way of harm.

      Trust in the resistance and, if you have the means to help, please do! Even joining a solidarity rally and humanizing our fellow Iranian comrades suffering aggression is a great initiative.

      Don’t stay idle and don’t keep this anger to yourself. Use it as fuel to stir the world into the desire for this genocidal empire to end.

      I’m so sorry to hear that. Just know that we (in the lemmygrad community) are here if you need to talk about it. I know talking is never going to take the pain away on a thing like that, but it can be a help as opposed to being alone in it. I don’t have experience with that kind of grief, but I do have some experience with loss and I know words can feel kind of hollow after. I just remember that it’s important to look after yourself in those moments.

      Thank you for being here. 🫂
