      How did this conversation go from “good-intentioned politicians” to whatever might be going on in Iran? Do you even know what’s really going on there? Because I don’t.

      Imperial core countries and corporate media feed us a lot of garbage about countries they consider their “enemy,” so you should be skeptical of what they tell us. With that said, I’m sure LGBTQ+ rights stand to be improved in Iran, but I don’t really know if they’re getting better, worse, or remaining the same right now. What I do know is that the US wants to paint Iran in as bad a light as possible, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the media should run more stories about the plight of LGBTQ+ people in Iran.

        You then don’t see the irony in telling the LGBT “we stand with you” and then going to homophobic nations and homophobic sects and saying the same thing (because they promise help with a certain advancement in awareness)?

        That goes along with what I was talking about, about people making deals with the devil (a figure of speech by the way). I’m pretty sure this phenomenon does not need any help from class phenomenon, positive or negative, in order to exist.

          The irony of who telling which LGBT people and subsequently going to “homophobic” states and saying the same thing to whom?

          If someone understands what you’re trying to say, perhaps they can translate for me.

            There is no “which” or “whom”. That’s implied in the main inquiry. Unless you just wanted to talk about class to someone.

              There is no “which” or “whom”.

              So there is a disembodied conversation going on between two non-entities, or groups of non-entities?

              That’s implied in the main inquiry.

              What is implied in what inquiry?

              I’ve actually run into you before, in another post, and you didn’t make sense that time, either.
