I would say to stick to criticizing what you know, because as soon as you try to do “socialist” criticism of the enemies of your state it’s all just narrative manufacturing of consent, it’s just trot shit. You don’t have any power over Iranian politics, the only way a westerner could possibly affect the situation is to throw in with the imperialist bloodthirsty mob and push to breach their sovereignty. It becomes clear when people try to do “critical support” but their critiques are not based in knowledge of the culture and contexts, and you get things like this… western leftists attacking Iran over a made up event of police brutality that they have no business being involved in, right as Iran is mobilizing to assist Armenia and defend against the western-backed Azeris.

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
