Masih Alinejad would be the most left-wing figure in modern America.

Yeah he did but the sad truth is the prople were starving more during Qajar and are starving even more right now...

Not gonna act like the Iranian govt doesn't mistreat women, but that's pretty crazy I had no idea

eActivism is poppin these days on social media

Assuming I’m a socialist cuz I ask you a question? yikes.

You know what they say about assuming right smart guy??

In a lot of muslim countries women are the most educated

They make up like 70% of tunisian uni students or something like that it’s crazy

Cool argument bro

Imagine living in a country where when you go to a job interview they ask you questions like.. what time was the morning prayer this morning? How do you wash up before prayer? Unrelated s*** just to discriminate people based on their beliefs. The people in charge, the "interviewers" are the likes of Soleimani.

Word up.

They literally enforce women to wear scarves and degrade them if they don’t in the name of god.

well, there are a lot of people who espouse left wing economics and right wing cultural values. many modern white nationalists for example are basically communists economically but believe in communism only for their race/religion.
that said i'll cut the s*** most dumbass armchair twitter revolutionaries just have a twisted perception which is based on contrarianism and hive mind

Lmfao bro ik its such an American thing to say but i agree, theres so much s*** to know going on here idek how you can keep track of all these other countries. I can't even pretend to have an opinion on this cuz im just simply ignorant on this one

They may be socialists with reactionary views on ethnicity, but they're not Communists.

Also this strain of white nationalism is irrelevant, both in today's politics as historically. They've never come to power anywhere.

just because Trump is a complete dumbfuck does not mean you should be on Iran's side

a lot of people itt would sacrifice any self-worth to prove themselves anti-American in every capacity and moment. and vice versa

imagine ever being on american governments or militaries side

Implying Trump is the reason we don't support American imperialism

i really don't see any reason not to be on Iran side, except if you're ignorant about Iran

well yes those exist too, but there are literally ethno-communists out there. not saying they have any power or influence per-se, but they're a bigger thing with younger generations on social media as well as on reddit and 4chan. You're right it's "irrelevant" historically, I'm just saying these people exist. social media gives every dumbass a voice and that's why we're seeing an over-representation of stupid or hypocritical opinions

you can be on the side of the iranian people without being on the side of the iranian government. while the west has certainly done a great job of making the iranian government seem more evil than they really are through propaganda, let's not act like their government deserves sainthood or something simultaneously

ok kankerkut

have several friends from iran and they 100% would rather the shah return than keep the current islamic republic

listen, I'm not saying America is right and Iran is wrong, or the opposite. im saying that certain people that are angry about the attack (and rightfully so) are emphasizing their support of the Irani government, which is ridiculous.

the focus should be on the Irani people, because they're the ones suffering by both sides of the coin.

implying that's what I said
