          My favorite has been the shift in the definition of ‘nuanced’ to mean “the singular date in recent history that lets me assign blame in one direction and ignoring everything else”… somehow always used in a patronizing tone by someone who thinks Colonization was actually good because it brought us the iphone

      I don’t think the point is to laud today’s Iran, but to pinpoint that the shit is happening today is consequence of the actions of the U.S. of yesteryear.

      So when Americans say “why do they hate us?” it’s not really because of their freedoms.
