If only there were a mesh network of satellites allowing remote internet-disconnected areas to access the web which WASN'T run by the egomaniacal fucktoy of a despotic psychopath...

    Good move. The violence were caused by external US/Mossad influencers/agents, and they rely on the internet to disperse their garbage propaganda.

    I can ask the Iranian side of my family to explain exactly how full of shit you are. Wouldn't be for constructive reasons; I doubt you can be taught anything. But it sure would be entertaining.

    A lot of communists here are like Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Their existing living condition is shit and they think that going to a different place will magically fix all their problems because everything just has to be better there.

    There are plenty of Iranians who worship Netanyahu, especially Pahlavi.

    tHiS mUsT bE tHe WoRk Of ThE CiA aNd IsRaEl

    Can't let the people have their own say, they're infants who have to be controlled to take their country back to what it was before the US meddled

    I've recently assembled in my head one story, that went on for 13 years, that is, roughly speaking, connected to antisemitism (also cowardice).

    I won't go into details, but honestly Mossad and the state of Israel have a reason of existence bigger than my mood swings and feelings on the scale of this decade or that, and I can understand the ethical logic that, if there's going to be plenty of bloodshed anyway, then rather it'd be their way.

    I might have said very rough things about the state of Israel many times, but with all its crimes its existence means that some Jewish people don't have to live at someone's mercy saying "thank you daddy" every day. I'd drink to that if it weren't work time.

    There's no point explaining this to NPCs who dont have object permanence and can't see the decade + long regime change that Netanyahu has been engineering:

    • making Trump pullout of JCPOA,
    • Max pressure campaign,
    • killing Soleimani,
    • murdering nuclear scientists,
    • sabotaging industries and
    • going to war against Iran's shia allies in the region.
    • faking negotiations while planning a sneak attack in June.

    Not to mention the constellation of anti government Iranian propaganda outlets in the West, funded by Mossad and Western intelligence, braying for regime change.

    These NPC think the protests organically happened, by sheer coincidence just days after Netanyahu met with Trump in Mar a Lago, the fifth time in a year, to set a timeframe for attacking Iran.

    Even Israeli media is up front about the nature of these protests.
