    Is the implication that we shouldn’t be upset about bombing Iran because they’re also doing other awful things?

    Whenever they do anything people seem so eager to claim that it’s just a distraction from whatever it was that was just happening, which itself was also just a distraction.
    I’ve seen literally everything mentioned hear described as a distraction meant to draw your attention from something else.

    Maybe, just maybe , none of it’s a distraction, they don’t care what you care about or notice because it won’t change what they do and they’re just absolutely awful people working their way down their terrible agenda.

      None of it is a distraction, you are 100% correct. Steve Bannon called this “flooding the zone”. When Fascism takes over, it hits hard.

      The invasion of Netherlands is just a distraction from the invasion of Denmark… which was really a distraction from the invasion of Poland!

      This is how society sounds to me right now. I concur, these events are not distractions from each other, but additional fronts which must be fought and resisted. We need our eyes on all of it.

      I interpreted it as reinforcing that we need to pay attention to all the things on the list and not fall for the distraction.
