@RashmanTheHorse Every online Iranian I've met so far has been anti govt in a way. As big if a role IRGC plays in this preventing total destruction of resistance in Middle East pretty large portion of Iranian population hate govt.

Remember Mr Long Nails Manicure. This lowlife played his part, however small, in getting 200 school children murdered. Emblematic of the entire Persian opposition mvmt.

⭕️An Iranian Man Takes His Life After News of Possible Negotiations with the Regime Iranian citizen #PouriaHamidi took his own life after learning that Donald Trump may pursue negotiations with the Islamic Republic regime. Before his death, Pouria left behind words that now stand as a quiet indictment of political compromise with a system built on violence: “Making a deal with this regime is a betrayal of all those who were killed. Please. I beg you. Stop this deal.” His message was brief. It did not recount the prisons, the executions, the shattered families, or the stolen futures. It did not need to. Pouria’s final act revealed what statistics and diplomatic language often fail to convey: for many Iranians, negotiations with the regime are not abstract policy debates. They are experienced as a denial of suffering, a rewriting of trauma, and a confirmation that the lives lost mean little on the global stage. For over four decades, the Islamic Republic has maintained power through repression, torture, executions, and the systematic silencing of dissent. Each attempt to rehabilitate or legitimise this regime sends a clear and devastating message to its victims: that justice is negotiable, and memory is expendable. Pouria Hamidi did not die because of a single political announcement. He died under the accumulated weight of betrayal the sense that even after so much bloodshed, the world remains willing to shake hands with those responsible. His death is not merely a personal tragedy. It is a warning. When diplomacy ignores moral consequence, it does not remain neutral. It takes sides. And sometimes, that cost is a human life.

@JoeHert81 @NojTheCynic @artknapp88 @ryangrim @AnnCoulter Anyways isn’t it mighty convenient, 25 years later, to start implying Iran was the mastermind of 9/11. Who do you think you’re fooling?
English
If this is an honest question, I’d say: Americans are rooting against America because we facilitated a genocide and followed it with a surprise attack on a girls elementary school followed by attacks on universities, medical centers, more schools, a world famous pharmaceutical research center, a volley ball team, an unfinished bridge we claimed was transporting weapons and then a nuclear power plant. We are now promising endless attacks on civilian infrastructure.
We are hunting and targeting anyone who might be involved in ceasefire negotiations.
Most people do not pay enough attention to have absorbed all the propaganda about the U.S. and Iran. So people coming to this fresh see us for what we are: absolute monsters. And monsters must be stopped. That’s why people are rooting against us and for civilization to prevail.

How did we get to the point Where so many Americans are rooting against America?

@JoeHert81 @NojTheCynic @artknapp88 @ryangrim @AnnCoulter The FBI knew lol that’s a little more important than whether Florida knew
English
@BlueMangoOG @NojTheCynic @artknapp88 @ryangrim @AnnCoulter Cool...did Florida know they were sunni extremists planning a domestic attack? Because Iran knew.
English
@JoeHert81 @NojTheCynic @artknapp88 @ryangrim @AnnCoulter I really don’t think this is the hill you want to die on, the 9/11 hijackers literally got flight training in Florida
English
@NojTheCynic @artknapp88 @ryangrim @AnnCoulter And 8 of them traveled through Iran to train in Afghanistan. Why did Iran illegally allow Sunni exstemists to enter their country to train in Afghanistan?
Why not include that?

@ApacheWarProf @Alonso_GD Posthumous residence in exchange for being executed in the street. You’re out of your mind
English
@Alonso_GD David Ben Avraham was posthumously given residency, and his conversion to Judaism led to him being imprisoned and tortured by the Muslim "Palestinians"
English
Citizens of Palestine are not allowed in Israel. They are the only people denied aliyah upon conversion to Judaism. David Ben Abraham, a Palestinian convert was not only denied citizenship, he was then executed by the IDF.
You’re right Hen. Israel is racist against Palestinians.
Hen Mazzig@HenMazzig
Imagine for a second the sign said, “Palestine citizens are not welcome” or “China citizens are not welcome.” See how wrong it feels? Banning an entire people for their government’s actions is not activism. It’s discrimination and racism. And it’s illegal.

@nyaspok @_A_khalifa I mean… not shit? We don’t need that Israel does 😂😂 the USA is literally the top oil producing country, and we take oil from Alaska and South American, nigga we chilling over here

Here....now if you can read, you will see why I say what I say. The liability from any harm caused by expired food or food that has sat in the shop all day since morning...that can cause harm (not likely to but it can which would be suicide for a business). And why there are a few protections against that, most places do not have great protections against it should someone eat it and be harmed by it.
It also costs a lot more to store it in order to donate it than it does to throw it away. Among other issues that would force them to increase the prices and then no one would buy it and just wait until it's closing time to get it free or greatly discounted.
But it's mostly because of the regulations and laws on food safety that prevent them from just giving it away. It's unsafe to do so, while it's most likely just fine, if even one person got sick from it their entire franchise will be forced to undergo deep investigations on food safety....So yeah, they just throw it away....and if someone gets sick from something they dug out of the trash....well that's on them as it's illegal to do anyway. So they will often just throw it away with no locks on the trash....if homeless wanted it they can eat it with all risks.

An American showed what his local Krispy Kreme does with unsold donuts at night.
Straight into the trash.
After private equity took over, the price of a dozen climbed to $22.
And instead of selling them cheaper…
They’d rather WASTE the food than lower the profit margin.

This is romanticism. The 2020 riots were not particularly class conscious. They capped off the entire 2010s trend of leaderless, organization-less, and essentially apolitical social unrest that blew off steam but achieved (and even demanded) nothing substantial.
The fed up Chef@TheChefsGardens
We were closer in 2020 but people panicked, threw a tantrum and demanded their comfortable misery back

@nourician @Ninjeg0 Yeah we were all there, it’s been over 5 years so have you reflected on what happened at all or
English
@BlueMangoOG @Ninjeg0 that's literally not what happened lmfao, community leaders were straight up assassinated

🪶 An Iranian tribesman in the country’s southwest was celebrated on state media for shooting down a U.S. aircraft (he says a Black Hawk helicopter) during rescue operations.
In a televised interview, he described firing on the aircraft as his daughter urged him on:
“I told the kids not to come outside… After I fired a few shots, I heard her yelling, ‘Dad, shoot!’ She was shouting, ‘Dad, shoot, it didn’t come down, shoot.’”
Host (to his daughter): “Why?”
Girl: “For little martyr girls of Minab, for our dear Leader… to destroy the enemies, America and Israel.”
Host (to girl): “And why do you think they’re the enemy and should be shot at?”
Girl: “Because they’re child killers.”
Iran Screenshot@iranscreenshot
Iran's IRGC praised these nomads from the southern provinces for independently shooting down two Black Hawk helicopters that had entered Iran to rescue pilots of a downed F-15. ENGLISH SUBTITLES

@tjbate2000 @PhilGarber5 @kamilkazani I don’t share in your malicious naivety, and the majority of the globe doesn’t either.
Happy Easter, have a nice day
English
Sure, but this is a long way down the track of agreeing that there is no real conflict between US interests and a secular, deomcratic Iran.
The only reason for the sanctions was the nuclear program and jihadi proxies. No other reason.
Absent those, no sanctions would have been necessary, ever.
Give up the uranium and the proxies, and all the sanctions disappear...overnight.
If a free, sovereign, democratic Iran wants to deal in yuan to get best price for its oil and collect Hormuz tolls from China....ENJOY!
English
Everything I see suggests that the Iranian leadership is *extremely* rational, and the nearly universal premise that they are some kind of madmen who don't know what they are doing has been a falsehood hammered into everyone's head simply by repetition
Javier Blas@JavierBlas
Iran can remain irrational longer the Donald Trump (and the global economy) can stay solvent.
English
@tjbate2000 @PhilGarber5 @kamilkazani You’re literally only continuing to prove the point. Why should the US control the finances of sovereign nations? Isn’t it rational to just trade in non-dollar currencies when dollar hegemony can be weaponized against you according to the whims of any new administration?
English
@BlueMangoOG @PhilGarber5 @kamilkazani Jostle away...US does not care...
Have a good time
P.S. they have a LOT of your money frozen already...
Would you like it back?

@OUnderfolder @TheLastFarm @xx_weed_nose_xx Yeah I have no interest in this, carry on with whatever it is you think you’re doing
English
@BlueMangoOG @TheLastFarm @xx_weed_nose_xx so you didn't answer what i asked? why did you provide an answer to a question that wasn't asked?
English
It’s worse than that. A voter in Wyoming has 34x more voting power than I do b/c the U.S. Senate is an antidemocratic institution. And yet every brainwashed American thinks this is “freedom”
scrumble_eggs 🇵🇸@scrumble_eggs
Their votes count just as much as your vote.
English
@tjbate2000 @PhilGarber5 @kamilkazani First, I agree with you China is not interested in that, it’s not an imperialist nation like the US.
Second, what do you mean US bases wouldn’t be an issue for a secular Iran? Why would Iran suddenly have no more interest in jostling with GCC states for regional hegemony?
English
China is not interested in any of that and none of it would ever happen. They can buy all the oil they want from Iran at full price and pay the Hormuz tolls.
If Iran forgoes missiles, US can pull out of GCC too. But US bases in GCC is not an issue for secular, democratic Iran. Are they?
Unless Iran really wants to extort GCC?
English
@tjbate2000 @PhilGarber5 @kamilkazani Yeah people tend to “agree” when you have guns pointed at their head, what’s your point?
English
@BlueMangoOG @PhilGarber5 @kamilkazani Almost everyone agreed to sanction Russia until they agree a truceline DMZ in Ukraine. That is NOT unilateral.
English
@tjbate2000 @PhilGarber5 @kamilkazani Would your idea of a sovereign Iran be allowed to host Chinese carrier groups off its coast and have Chinese military installations pointing radars and missiles at US positions in the region?
English
@BlueMangoOG @PhilGarber5 @kamilkazani Show me the conflict between a secular, democratic Iran and the US?
On what would they differ, given that the US wants China to pay full price for oil, and big tolls in Hormuz?
English
@OUnderfolder @TheLastFarm @xx_weed_nose_xx If the Senate was proportional and representative it’d have no purpose. We’d just have a parliament; but given that parliaments are more efficient when the desire of the founders was to bake in inefficiency; here we are
English
@OUnderfolder @TheLastFarm @xx_weed_nose_xx I actually said the opposite. I said the 60 votes to vote requirement is non trivial. 41 Senators can block a vote; which functions as a veto
