They just raised taxes on the lowest tax brackets btw. Like today

Yeah sure, but the difference is that this absolutely could be easily documented. Most iranians have phones, most could record evidence and save it for when they do have outside communication. Most news agencies would jump on this evidence and even pay money for it because it would support their narrative. We have significantly more means and a significantly greater motive (in the eyes of the american state atleast). We are not in the 1940s anymore. Not to mention that the US and Israel had access to Iranian street surveillance footage for years and would have produced video evidence for their claims if they could. You should read the brookings institute plan for US policy towards Iran.

I never denied that the Iranian government was repressive to be clear.

I read your other comment? i misread a username

Listen, I don’t doubt that the Iranian state killed some people. I am not a fool. However, I don’t buy that they slaughtered 10s of thousands of peaceful protestors in the street as the enemies of Iran claim. I am assuming that this is what the original commenter was referencing as that is the most commonly propagated story.

I consider it propaganda because the protests in Iran were obviously a foreign instigated attempt at regime change which failed. The actions of the Iranian state, including the internet blackout (which was an attempt disrupt communication between foreign agitators and their agents) and violence, are in some part why it failed. The current war in Iran is a result of that failure. This is not to say that the Iranian people have no reason to despise their state or resist it violently. I only claim that this sentiment was heavily exploited for the purpose of regime change, and had it succeded the greatest threat to the genocidal state of Israel would have been eliminated.

In that context any reporting from western sources should be treated with the utmost scrutiny or, given their record of manufacturing consent for violence, utter distrust. The sources given for their claims are completely unreliable and I encourage to search for any hard evidence.

You fell for propaganda

uncritical support for stealing corporate data

Get ready to have ads in your dreams folks

This feels like an manifestation of The Spiral from the magnus archives. It’s literally meant to represent madness. Like I’d be shocked if TMA doesn’t make an episode like this considering the setting and style of their sequel.

Largest petroleum producer in Africa and second largest petroleum deposits in Africa.

I do that but its actually because I just don’t own a laptop and don’t want to buy one

Oh weird. Why would they call themselves that lmao

Wth is a groyper

Yeah, couldn’t you tell? He clearly called them a very good ally after approving the bombing of their capital. /s

Who is out here filming at that resolution anyway? Cannot fathom the file sizes of anything made for these TVs

It would probably be done with lasers. Its not perfect tech rn but it is possible. If not the most efficient for its price
