Um wtf kill yourself you danger to humanity and pedestrians
im 99% sure this is in reference to something ive said about fast lanes on the highway. there are neither pedestrians nor humans on the highway, at least not in america.

I still can't stop thinking about this even though it's months gone but I just have to say it and it will always be indicative of how Americans, leftists or not, will always fall short of seeing non Americans as humans.
One of the most grotesque things about the reaction to Khameneiâs assassination was watching Americans immediately pivot into fantasising about a âsecular Iranâ or a âfree Iranâ before the blood had even dried.
Not mourning the dead. Not acknowledging the 160 schoolgirls killed. Not reckoning with the fact that this violence was inflicted on actual human beings. Just instantly launching into imperial wish-fulfilment: maybe NOW Iran can become the version of the country WE want it to be.
And it revealed something deeply ugly about how Americans engage with the rest of the world politically. Entire countries only exist to them as symbols in their own ideological narratives. Iran is not a real place full of people with complicated political histories, internal movements, contradictions, factions, and trauma. It becomes a blank screen for western projection: oppressed women waiting for western liberation, secular democracy waiting to be âunlocked,â grateful citizens waiting to be saved through bombs and assassinations.
It is such a profoundly unserious and anti-intellectual way to understand politics. People genuinely talk about regime collapse like they are discussing a season finale instead of the destabilisation of an 90+ million person country with enormous ethnic, religious, regional, and geopolitical complexity. They do not study history. They do not learn from Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, or literally any other intervention where western fantasies about liberation produced mass death and instability. They reduce politics to aesthetics: âreligious government bad, secular government good,â as though societies can simply be traumatically shocked into becoming western liberal democracies overnight.
But more than stupidity, it was the speed of the dehumanisation that was horrifying. Americans could not even pause their fantasies long enough to process the bloodshed THEY were celebrating. The deaths themselves became secondary to the imagined outcome. The massacre was reframed as potentially âworth itâ if it created the Iran they wanted to see.
That is the logic of empire in its purest form: other peopleâs suffering becomes acceptable, even exciting, if it can be turned into political transformation desirable to the west.
And the sickest part is how casually this mindset appears. People say these things like they are discussing sports trades or fictional worldbuilding, completely detached from the reality that the âbirthâ of their ideal secular state would come through terror, mourning, orphaned children, destroyed families, and mass instability.
The ideal image they had of a âfree Iranâ was built, in their minds, directly on top of the bodies they helped justify.
Violence may not solve every problem but dang sometimes it's cathartic.

in other developments re german/anglo cultural exchange on breadstuffs, this image was posted to a facebook group yesterday
the following events ensued:
1. predictable lively discussion on the preparation of Wienerschnitzel, in which natives and wurstaboos are pro-puff and everybody else is like *confused dog head tilt* why wouldnât you want the crust to stay ~attached to the thing you put it on? as with other fried foods?
2. thirty âBad Schnitzel is my band nameâ jokes
3. thirty âBad Schnitzel is my stripper nameâ jokes
4. one âah yes, Bad Schnitzel! a lovely spa townâ joke
5. this absolute masterpiece:
