seeing so many ppl defending this shit is insane. as if the united states intervening is gonna make things better for women 💀 historically, whenever the american government gets really concerned about women’s rights in the middle east, those women are about to get bombed. but no imperialism is actually feminist ig

If the U.S really cared about women in the Middle East, they would have voted with the UN to say that Afghanistan is contributing to human rights violations.

yeah hon i’m not saying the iranians are ‘dumb asf’, i’m not expecting them to be familiar with american history. but we’ve been seeing the same thing since the 50s💀 “wow they’re celebrating in the streets!” —> oh there’s no authority now, look there’s warlords and militias! —> US troops are stuck there for 20 years… ask your parents about afghanistan (taliban 2001), iraq (saddam), libya (gaddafi), somalia (barre), guatemala’s civil war… lmao look at the vietnam war💀💀

You don’t understand that the people of Iran are so tired and oppressed and threatened by their own government that truly ANYTHING is better than the IRGC. Atleast the killing of khomeni can give them the chance to put someone of their own choosing into power

Thhe people would never be able to determine their government without foreign intervention because the government is a dictatorship that is too powerful and just speaking against the government will get you killed. Like you really think they haven’t tried to run him out of power themselves?

We’d NEVER meddle in another country’s politics unless we had some way to benefit. Y’all the United States is doing this out of the goodness of their heart you’re fucking stupid. If you think after killing their supreme leader that we’re just going to go “oh and now you can pick whoever for president dw we’ll stay out of it” you’ve NEVER read a history book. We’re going to put someone in office for them, and last time we did that we picked a dictator because he was better for the US

no one thinks the us is doing it out of the goodness of their heart but sometimes two different parties can achieve a common benefit from something and for the iranian ppl anyone is better than their current leader. i truly don’t know why a bunch of privileged americans who have never been to the middle east think that they should be the ones to tell iranian ppl how they shouldfeel. how about we listen to the actual iranians instead of a bunch of privileged social justice warriors

you don’t get it. the oppression the ppl in iran face from their government is so bad that anything besides the IRGC will give them freedom. israel isn’t going to seize iran and even IF it did that’s still better than the islamic regime that’s how fucked up it is over there.

You’re the one negating that the US is the most violent empire? I simply responded that, no, millions is a lot more than 60k so clearly the US is the most violent empire and the one that needs to be destroyed in order for the rest of the world to have sovereignty
