Iran being smart enough to do the thing the US admin is too stupid to: win the hearts and minds of your adversary's civilian populace.

The US has given up on all of it's real strengths because Trump is too stupid to see anything but raw military might as important. The US used to be so good at winning people over through its promotion of human rights and liberal values of freedom. It was always a mask, but it was a very valuable one. It certainly never won over everyone, but it bought them enough good will to allow Pax Americana to persist. Trump has torn that mask clean off, not realizing just how much he would change the game for everyone. The very confidence and desire to be the dictator of the most powerful empire on earth has made that empire significantly less powerful.
It's not just him though, there is a whole admin that is also happy to do this and these people will still be around ready to start over in another future republican government, even if it's democrats that get in next time. A bug chunk of America appears to be happy to be on this path now.
They won't be so happy when they get to experience the Great Depression 2: The Real Electric Boogaloo
they won't give a shit, the economy is just something for poor people to suffer through
That big chunk of Americans ain't all rich
Thet never care.
2008 wasn't that long ago. Do they remember it? Or 2020?
but those recessions were obviously the fault of the undocumented transgender immigrant women with disabilities who had all their surgeries paid for by their hard earned tax dollars
So true. I'm glad that people acknowledge this "Liberal values" shtick was opium.for the masses. The global south has always known the US as a rapacious imperial force for resource theft, exploitation and violence
They needed the mask when the USSR offered competition. Once there was "no alternative", they went mask off.
And I don't hate the Iranians. I hate both of our governments, however.
Yeah, it's funny how many shills tried calling me racist for supporting the Iranian protestors in 2021 and later in 2025 and 2026.
Like, if I was racist, then why would I care about their problems and empathize and express solidarity?
The Iranian people don't deserve to be bombed by the US and Israeli militaries. They don't deserve to be massacred for protesting against police brutality either. Or to be beaten to death in police custody for not wearing a hijab "properly."
There are some wild mental leaps that some people will go through to support a violent regime just because it's anti-West.
Here's the link for anyone who cares.

Got anything besides youtube? They apparently don't want me to watch it (at least not without IDing myself to them...)
Also, how the fuck does verifying the viewer's humanity protect the fucking community? I'm not commenting or liking shit.
Well that's annoying. Sorry, I did a search and that popped up and let me watch without logging in. VPN maybe?
Muslim Iranian's have more in common with your everyday American's than your American Zionest Evangelical.
I wonder if that's why all the Iranian accounts suddenly stopped calling everyone "zionazis"?
I won't comment on how/why they got that memo a few days before the video, but it clearly wasn't working and makes sense they're pivoting.
From a purely technical standpoint, it always made more sense for Iranian trolls to commiserate with Americans online; play it as "the only country that wants this is Israel" would be super effective.
Insisting anyone who disagrees is a Zionist just makes the label mean nothing and makes people disregard anything else the propaganda is saying, even the true parts.
All they were doing was diving people who were already against Israel and trump
yep. hate and despise are accurate words for this
and tbf, I hate and despise a good number of my own countryfolk as well. it's disgusting how many don't give a fuck about other people
None of those 40% are on this website lol
