    Even if you believe these revolts are 100% organic, manifesting spontaneously with no assistance or encouragement from Mossad, CIA, etc

    So do you any proof of that or are you just really really sure that’s true?

    the context is that the people have already been victimized and pushed to the brink by western powers as much as their own government

    And? Does this mean there’s no possible way that these people are capable of not wanting to live under a theocratic dictatorship? Are you trying to imply they can’t make that decision on their own? If so that’s infantalizing and patronizing an entire group of people.

    Or are you suggesting that the whole reason that this oppressive regime is in charge is because of the US? Because that is entirely true. You’ll get no disagreement from me.

    Also why are you wasting your time monologing on all the terrible things the west have done to the middle east and Iran? You’ll get no disagreement from me. These were all bad actions. I don’t see how that justifys a theocratic dictatorship that brutalizes its own population.

    You can be anti-western intervention and anti-dictatorship. Actually based on your own source you so kindly provided these are one in the same. As your source said 73% of dictatorships are propped up by the US.

      Nono, the Iranian people must please stay quiet and just accept their theocratic overlords, you see. They really don’t like the US, so we must kiss their ass.

        There’s also a big push by these people from any retaliation in the US saying it’s “exactly what he wants”.

        Stay quite and let dictators do what they like. That’s the go to for dictatorship to continue.
