Half the people I work with are Persian and have been talking about this all day for the last 2 or 3 days or so. They’re extremely pissed. There’s a bit of a selection bias since most of the Iranians I interact with are already in the us but from their pov quite a lot of people are pretty anti govt bc of material conditions (a lot of poverty for a lot of people there) and the oppressive religious stuff. I think it’s likely this is an inciting incident to a homegrown thing. Not saying it’s not possible foreign actors couldn’t take advantage of the situation, but it seems like alot of zoomer Iranians in particular are pretty against the treatment of women and seeing this as a protest against that in particular

Nobody seems to have touched her. Western “Persians” are biased and cannot speak on events happening in Iran with accuracy, as they are evidently just repeating the western story with contradicting evidence

Are we really just repeating gusano vibes as facts here?

At no point did I insinuate any of this was “facts” I literally mentioned it was their pov and mentioned the selection bias to make a point of not suggesting that their perspective on it was sacrosanct.

Take the confrontational tone down a notch until you sort out your reading comprehension please. I’m more than happy to hear any other perspective or info you have on the subject, this is what I’ve had thus far and i was simply relaying that conversationally not pushing a narrative

“Long live communism!”

I think this is a good protest and if this is the prevailing sentiment then it’ll be harder for the US to pull a color revolution.
