i'm so sick of my fellow iranians being cringe as fuck on social media and simping for the state of israel out of some insane the enemy of my enemy is my friend mentality like i know this is crazy but you can hate the iranian government without deciding to go full monarchist and act like israelis are liberators of literally anything or anyone

like i'm sorry if the best you can envision for iran is trading one authoritarian for the son of the previous authoritarian (who was literally overthrown bc he was an authoritarian puppet of the united states) solely bc of his name then you hate the iranian people more than i can image

#like why are they somehow hitting the same level of insane cringe as indian nationalists #also stop parroting these dumbass slogans that don't make any sense like iran isnt islamic republic like ok what does that even mean #it makes as much sense as hamas is isis #yall are just saying words that you think sound catchy but are ultimately meaningless #like yeah iran hasnt been an islamic republic for most of its existence #it currently is #that has clearly not worked out and it can and should change but like that's literally factually what it is rn #and it's dumb as shit to act like there ARENT people that do support it #you are never going to gain ground if you accuse literally everyone of being a paid state actor who disagrees with you #or if you see the world in so black and white that you think bc the iranian government is bad israel's government is good #or act like the actual revolution in 1979 WASNT born out of legit grievances #like obviously that went incredibly sideways but like #what is with this insane whitewashing of the shah all of you are so embarassing #sorry i cant rant on twitter bc of the Job so i gotta do it here i am so fucking tireddddddd #i wish the most outspoken public facing iranians weren't all wealthy as fuck monarchists playing activists #while sitting in beverly hills mansions contemplating their next nose jobs and doing absolutely nothing of use like wow you are so brave #it's the same energy as those rich cubans who moved to miami after castro took over #you can argue that the motive for the iranian regime's defiance of israel is not ultimately out of any desire to help palestinians #and frankly i would agree with you #but like in this specific instance i don't actually think their motive matters if it is materially helping palestinians #will it? that remains to be seen #and acknowledging that it could does not suddenly mean you support the regime all of you are so braindead i am tiiiiiired
