    Is this like one of those fake Venezuelan freedom videos after Meduro’s capture?

      It’s not quite the “fell for it again” award. It’s the “duped because I’m ignorant about history” award. Even if you are against Khamenei and the cleric class of leaders, the Americans are not, and never will be, your friends.

        I mean… My dad who passed and his brother who is very much alive moved here from Iran in 1968 and served in Vietnam in the Engineering corps and lived through American interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan. My Mom’s family are Iraqi lol

          Crazy how you use the word serving. It is not serving , it is participating in Illegal wars

          So they’re from the “America is the land of milk and honey, where there is endless opportunity, and dreams can come true” generation of migrants.

          My own family is the same, but the illusion has been shattered for them over the last several years.

        I’d be curious of any diaspora differences. How would a Swedish Irani expat’s opinions differ from an Irani from Teh-ronto or Tehr-angeles?

    Source?

    Edit: I saw this video mentioned in the press on February 28th, but I’m intrigued by the reference to them being ex-Muslims.

        Who wouldn’t hate cultists going back in time and making the world an even worse place to live in?

          You should hate the israel cultists who are doing settler colonialism and genocide right now. Islamophobia is a hate speech like antisemetism

            I don’t fear it, I despise it. And yes, I do hate all cults, Jews included. Islam is just the epitome. The most retrograde force.

            But cute. You want me to hate “the other cult, but not mine!”.

              I used the word hate Muslims not Islam. You are basically hating 2 millions of people if you really believe that and used the word Israel as a state which is committing the worst crime possible genocide not it’s people .

              No matter how much someone hate Islam , using it as a justification for genocide is so twisted

                What are you even talking about? Justification? I just don’t care. I don’t like neither A nor B, why should I care if they kill each other?

                I didn’t even use the word Israel. I said Jews. And, yes I do “believe” that. Fuck every cult there is. But what do I know, I’m just some filthy infidel 😁

                  I talked about the other guy justifying genocide because he hate muslims. Instead of agreeing with me you started talking about bullshit and defending the guy by justifying his hate
