They know nothing about Iran. They just know it’s bad there so they make flawed comparisons to feel legitimate. They also do this with Holocaust comparisons.

Here is the other spectrum of brain dead takes. You do know that massive protests were staged over the forced covering of Iranian women. The irgc jailed and killed thousands. The irgc is forcing them to cover up. Shitheads on both ends of the political spectrum who know nothing about the struggles of Iranian people should not speak on their behalf.

IRGC is not forcing them to cover. Every Muslim country or even American Muslims cover. I will speak on the behalf of Iranian people all day as your criminal war mongering country massacre innocent children there. You goddamn buffoon. I will defend Iran before I defend any nasty democrats or magats. I have no political affiliation.

Buffon? And defend Iran? https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-briefing-notes/2024/04/iran-crackdown-hijab-law I can’t tell if you are a troll, misinformed or actually a shill for the IRGC. Either way you just sound like another misinformed schmuck equating their own personal politics to an unrelated population.

You know what else they don’t want? Dictatorship. Then again trump isn’t the solution bc he’s a dementia ridden moron

The bombing isn’t gonna get rid of the dictatorship. The US doesn’t want Iranians to have freedom, it just wants a US-friendly dictator like the Shah was who will open up Iran’s oil to US oil companies. There’s a reason that most US media outlets left out the second half of the most prominent slogan amongst the Iranian protesters “death to the dictator, Ayatollah or Shah”

I already said trump doesn’t have Iranians best interest in heart. I’m aware of that. But inaction isn’t helping them either. Iranians want radical Islam in their government gone. They want khameini gone.

Yeah they don’t want a dictatorship that’s why the US should stop interfering in foreign affairs and destabilizing nations to put their own leaders in power

Yes and the irgc is also a dictatorship that destabilises the region…

#5 and #6 are perfect examples of people who never even considered iran until a month ago. I’ve seen so many people unfamiliar with the geopolitics swing to support the IRGC because their whole political view is only binary. Trump is bad therefore Iran is good.

It’s a very westernized version of the story. They look at the evil in Iran and blame western intervention only. They refuse to see how radical Islam like the irgc has desecrated the region. They’ve been silent for 80 years on the brutality of the irgc. Nothing of the women life freedom movement. Nothing of the recent uprising of civilians against the irgc. They only find their voice when they can blame the west. So one-sided, so blind-sided, and so self-centred.

That was directly caused by us intervention in the region by implementing the shah lol

Anonymous #6 1w

No it was caused by by Khomeni taking advantage of the power vacuum in the aftermath of the revolution. He betrayed the revolutionaries that helped oust the shah. Consolidated power and installed clerics into positions of power while executing opposition and creating a theocratic dictatorship. Do some research instead of regurgitating twitter talking points. It’s embarrassing.

I mean yes, he did that, and the Shah wouldn’t have needed to be overthrown in the first place if the US and the British didn’t orchestrate a coup against the popular elected leader of the country, but they did, leading to the consolidation of the Shah’s power and a lot of repression of the people

So instead of giving agency to the Iranians who want freedom from their tyrannical government now, you choose to just finger point at actions decades ago. Fuck the Iranians and their self determination right? Some bozo arm chair activist says they get what they deserve because the west is bad.

I fully support the Iranian people revolting against the IRGC, what I don’t support is going to war with Iran and bombing a girls school

Anonymous #5 1w

Literally where in this thread do you see support for the war or bombing innocent people?! Ffs. It’s a post about people saying misogyny in the us is equal to Iran. You have repeatedly shifted focus and pointed fingers that the IRGC is just the fault of others then tried to morally capture the conversation by shifting the focus to different topics.

Anonymous #2 1w

Thank you! My original post was insinuating that misogyny in the US is not as bad as misogyny in Iran. People making this comparison are tone deaf. Trying to shift that to cry about western intervention is odd. Since the current dictatorship is because of khameini and other revolutionaries. The US getting involved only exemplified a country that was already suffering and being abused.

It’s a post about that in the context of the US being at war with Iran You said “but inaction isn’t helping them either,” what action are you suggesting? We are currently at war, and bombing Iran I didn’t say nor imply the IRGC is the fault of “others,” what I was saying is the US—not just Trump, the US more broadly—does not have Iranians’ interests at heart and that any US involvement will be to advance its own imperial aims, not for the sake of the people

The US has always been involved And if this conversation isn’t about US intervention, what were you suggesting when you responded to me talking about the bombings with “inaction isn’t helping them either”?

Anonymous #5 1w

Other western powers like the UK and France have been involved longer. Not the US as much until more recently. What I was insinuating is that their dictatorship is largely because of the irgc.

Yes of course the IRGC is responsible for the IRGC, I feel like that goes without saying But you said “inaction isn’t helping them either,” what action are you suggesting by who?

Civilians have tried uprising in every way possible. It has not worked. At this point foreign intervention is needed to destabilise the regime. Then again the US doesn’t have that interest in mind, making them the wrong option to step in.

Anonymous OP 1w

That’s what I was saying by bringing up the history of US intervention on behalf of the Shah, that the US doesn’t that interest in mind Nor do the UK or Israel, who were also involved in the 1956 coup (Israel to a lesser extent but it still supported it)

I’m going to hold your hand when I tell you khameini is worse than the shah. Thousands of Iranians are saying death to khameini and return the shah😭. Often western powers do not have Iranians best interest in heart. They just want more power and resources for themselves. They heavily participated in destabilising the region. Being in this weakened state radical islamists have taken advantage saying they’re our scape goat and we’re the solution.

The main slogan of the protestors is “death to the dictator, Ayatollah or Shah”… There is a reason our media focuses on the much smaller number who want a return of the Shah, however, and that reason is also why I would not trust any action taken here be the US or UK..
