An open letter to @rogerwaters (my ex-idol),
I am an Iranian #PinkFloydGeek who fell in love with your music as a teenager, listening to The Wall and Animals like contraband, because in Iran the wrong music in the wrong backpack could destroy your life. We hid your music from school authorities, from the Basij, from the state. Not because it was loud, but because it was dangerous to dictators.
Your music mattered to us because it questioned power and gave agency to individuals (to tear down the wall and not become sheep).
“We don’t need no education” Because what we were given was indoctrination.
“We don’t need no thought control” Because the Islamic Republic survives by crushing independent thought.
And the wall was never abstract. It had names. It had uniforms. It had prisons. It had execution cranes.
When you sat across from @piersmorgan and declared that Iranians do not want regime change, you did not just get it wrong. You crossed a human line.
You erased the dead. You spit on the imprisoned. You spoke over women who have been beaten, raped, blinded, and murdered for saying the exact opposite of what you claimed.
That is not ignorance. That is collaboration.
You once warned us about Dogs. Power-hungry enforcers who serve authority for scraps. You once mocked Sheep. Those who repeat what they are told while pretending it is insight. And now here you are, confidently regurgitating the Islamic Republic’s most cynical lie: “The people don’t want regime change.”
That lie is used to justify bullets. It is used to justify torture. It is used to justify executions. And you repeated it anyway.
This is no longer Us and Them. You chose them.
From your safe studios, stages, and western comfort, you denied an entire nation its agency while congratulating yourself on being “anti-imperialist.” That is moral bankruptcy. It is the obscene arrogance of a man who thinks ideology matters more than lived reality, more than blood on the streets.
You did not listen to Iranians.
You did not ask them.
You did not see them.
You did not stand with them.
You stood above them, like every authoritarian you once claimed to despise.
You did not question power. You outsourced your thinking to IR apologists, conspiracy peddlers, and anti-Semitic activists who see dictators as acceptable as long as they oppose the “West” and “Israel. You did not challenge propaganda. You became its delivery system.
When did you decide that denying people their voices was acceptable, as long as it fit your narrative? When did you stop tearing down walls and start mortar-mixing for tyrants? At what point did you confuse being anti-Israel with being anti-human?
I will not address your views on Venezuela or Palestine. Those belong to people who lived under Maduro or Hamas. But I have lived under the Islamic Republic. I know what it does to bodies, minds, lives, and futures. I know its lies because I have experienced and lived them. Hearing those same lies come from you is not just disappointing. It is obscene.
This letter is a rejectionof you and everyone else who thinks like you.
We are done explaining ourselves to people who think they know our country better than we do. We are done being props in your ideological anti-Israel theater. We do not need your validation, fake support, your pity, or your lectures.
We will tear the wall down ourselves, and history will remember who stood with the people and who chose to become comfortably numb (or comfortably dumb) while repeating a dictator’s script.
You (Yes, You) are not a rebel anymore. You are not a voice of resistance. You are now just another brick in our wall!
Tear down the wall…Tear down the wall!
