You fell for NED propaganda again. Please try harder. Maybe talk to a mainlander once. Visit China. Try to find any victims.

No but generally the people that cry the hardest about communism and its threat to profit humanity are indeed fascists.

because words lose power over time if you let them, ninnyhammer.

Found the fascist.

Guaranteed he slipped and mentioned something that happened BEFORE the protests…

Because that’s what the CIA does. Like in Tienanmen Square.

The IRGC aren’t brainwashed. It’s a voluntary organization and members are usually posted near their own homes specifically so they have more reason to defend the people, not abuse them. It makes way more sense the CIA did what THEY ALWAYS DO and armed ‘protestors’ after feeding them a bunch of lies like ‘we’ll take care of you if you just do this,’ and incited violence.

It is amazing how you people fall for NED propaganda every. single. time.

Iranhr.net, the only claim for the death penalty being applied to LGBTQ people in Iran (which is weird since all of Iran’s laws are online, if it were real, you’d think they’d just link the official government site) is an Organization founded, funded, and operated by the National Endowment for Democracy; an organization founded by active CIA members, only hires CIA members and ‘candidates,’ and funds such nonsense reporting as ‘The Uyghur genocide that no uyghur has ever reported experiencing,’ and ‘Why every democracy that doesn’t support the united states is actually a fake democracy hiding a dictatorship.’

On top of this they are the ONLY source used by the UNHRC’s report linked in the article. Yes I actually clicked through and read the sources.

So is it more likely that a culture with a history of gay and trans acceptance older than the concept of white skin did a 180 in the last 60 years, especially given Shia Islam is NOT a sect that punishes LGBTQ people… or did the CIA-Backed NGO make shit up to make you hate a country in order to justify war, sanctions, and continual destruction of civilian life at the behest of its corporate and ideologically opposed owners?

Which is honestly the simpler more likely answer? The most evil empire on Earth that has a 240 year history of lying to its populace to do unpopular things in pursuit of profit doing just that… or a country more progressive (in this specific regard) than the US was until 2015 doing a 180?

Then we’d see rates at zero. We don’t so your theory is immediately discredited.

It’s truly amazing how the liberal brain fails to think.

No part of the commandment to dress modestly targets just women, and many have lower SA rates than Detroit.

So you just keep swinging and missing with these tired racist tropes.

Or ever. Germany has no natural resources and generally has not been enough of a pain since the Soviets freed you from Nazi control to be a danger to Russia. Why would they invade? Germany doesn’t even have a large contingency of Russian citizens in it.

So again with your ignorance; no woman is called brave for showing her face in public in Iran. You’re thinking of the Burka, which IS NOT A PART OF MUSLIM OR IRANIAN CULTURE AND ISN’T IN IRAN.

This is why I used the term ‘you people.’ It doesn’t matter what colour you are. You fell for israeli propaganda and culture war nonsense. As you people always seem to do.

I can promise you Russia does not care to attack any of the EU. If you’ve been tricked into believing something different, get a better education.

It’s not a bastion of freedom, but it is better than the US and UK and especially Israel at this one category that you incorrectly said it wasn’t.

That was called a correction.

As far as race, you people don’t tend to know anything about Iran but you lump it in with Arab and Muslim culture and assume all things true in Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia or Dearborn Michigan must be in common with Iran because they’re all the same right?

Nothing in islam is anti-lgbtq. Nothing in Arab or Persian culture is anti-lgbtq. There are some states that have rules banning it, Iran isn’t one of them.

Hell the ‘morality police’ that you israelis call it don’t even exist across the country. Each region has its own rules and the rules aren’t universal, much less universally enforced. Women aren’t forced to cover in general, but muslim women don’t have to cover in Tehran whereas Umira they do. And that’s awful that region is like that, but pretending it’s the whole country because you’re too lazy, too stupid, too racist, or all of the above to even try to understand a country you’re bombing is ridiculous.

He could try, and fail, and show the world the US has no hard power to back up their soft power since they’ve destroyed their own manufacturing.

Which would be good for the world, don’t get me wrong, but the likely military coup in the US to stop the losses could be devastating if the wrong general gets into power and decides being right is more important than survival and actually uses nukes.

…Russia is not wanting to and has never stated and the claim from ukraine has never been the take over of Ukraine.

Where you got this idea is beyond me, since no news coverage has ever suggested as much.

This particular conflict is between Ukraine, Luhansk, Donetsk, and Russia. The stated war goals of Russia, from the start, was to secure Luhansk and Donetsk during their fight for independence.

The Ukrainian point of view is that Russia somehow infiltrated both regions, faked a 90+% vote for independence in those regions, and invaded when Ukraine denied their independence.

Same thing with Crimea so many years earlier.

As far as ‘Russian pro-war talking points’ THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO THIS CONFLICT AND NEITHER SIDE IS MORE RIGHT THAN THE OTHER.

Russia is not ‘the bad guys.’

Ukraine is not ‘the good guys.’

Ukraine is lead by a genocidal dictatorship hell bent on creating a new Israel in the corpse of the Ukrainian territory.

Russia is lead by a genocidal dictatorship hell bent on recreating a capitalist propaganda version of the soviet union.

If Russia wins two new countries get made and fall to the Russian block of allied countries.

If Ukraine wins, at this point, they will spend the next 50 years receiving international aid to the tune of trillions per year to try to recreate what they had before the war. While still dealing with a non-zero amount of their population who DO NOT WANT UKRAINIAN LEADERSHIP ANYWHERE NEAR THEM, after kidnapping kids off the street to fight an unpopular war.

There is no winner in this war, there is no side to root for, both are fully fascist dictatorships with no sense of democracy, but refusing to understand the underlying motivations of either side hurts analysis of other conflicts.

Like the Iran war isn’t over oil, or religion, or even the oppression of the Iranian people.

It is so Israel doesn’t have any threats in the region during their imperialist expansion. If you treated the Iranian war like you people treat the Ukrainian war, you’d assume Israel is the good guys and the victims — which is how Israel has gotten away with genocide for 80 years.

3k, let’s not use CIA produced numbers. We should be better than that as a species.

Also given it was proven it was a Mossad generated ‘protest’ meant to inspire a colour revolution… maybe don’t blame Iran for defending their sovereignty against a foreign attack.

You people didn’t like it when Russia did the same thing in Ukraine resulting in Ukraine killing hundreds of protestors.

Iran has greater protections for trans women than the US or UK btw.

They’ve always been reasonable. And they’ve always been the victims in modern history.

I don’t think they’re smart enough to parse that, you really have to break down anything that isn’t what their owners’ told them.
