      Even in this fucking quote right here they say it basically straight up who is really causing the suffering of Iranian people, but they will still ride their white man’s burden hard.

      Do you think the writer actually believes this horseshit, or are they just doing it for a paycheck?

      I think I might respect a cynical money-getter more than a true believer. The writer doing this for a paycheck has a motivation I can actually understand; the true believers are freaks, completely alien in ways that I find disturbing and inhuman.

      Damn this is do annoying. West media outlets acting like the anglosphere is such a beacon of civilization, democracy and human rights, while the countries they bomb are such backwards and villanous entities that are simply evil. It’s insulting.
