    ITT: Whitewashing and justifying all the protester-murdering Iran did a couple months ago.

          This one in particular. Every time we see a protest in an authoritarian regime, it is excused as a CIA plot, the actual people are never acknowledged as humans fucking pissed at having a boot to their neck.

          IRL, I’ve been accused as being a paid shill because I protest. Authoritarian shitheads literally cannot imagine people have different opinions from them, nor that they would take any action over it.

    The Iranian regime did kill a lot of protesters although the exact number is hard to verify and it should not be used as justification for war crimes and terrorism from the American Regime against the Iranian people.

    The people of Iran are in a lose - lose situation.

    Edit: The US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) reported over 5,000–7,000 deaths

      The number is like 3K-4k and those were mostly CIA/Mossad plants that were also given weapons to shoot at police, and were given Starlink satellites to receive orders to foment riots so they can be used as an excuse to overthrow a “regime”

        3k is one of the the lower estimates, there are much higher estimates as well.

        However I can assure you that not all protesters or people that had access to the internet killed were CIA/Mossad plants. I saw many videos of unarmed protesters being mowed down and driven over in the streets.

        The Iranian people are suffering, and the Iranian regime is terrible, however they will not be liberated by the US or Israel.

          The people of Iran have mobilized and bonded over support of their government. Maybe we should stop repeating CIA talking points, since regardless of the numbers, the only people served are the evil USA regime committing genocides globally, either directly or indirectly, vis proxy states or well-paid and well-armed “freedom fighters” such as SDF and Da’esh.

            Less support of their government, more support of their infrastructure. Everyone’s government could magically disappear tomorrow and life would only continue and get better. The US government, the Iranian government, neither one deserves support.

              That’s Israel and a 2 second search would have told you that. Maybe you should educate yourself instead of talking shit.

    In brighter news, the trump house near me took down their trump stuff. Now it’s just generic “god bless America” conservative stuff.

    It was probably the “praise be to Allah” thing, wasn’t it?
