  1. *Trump doing anything he wants, ramping up on the authoritarian violence and insanity, lawlessly destroying the fabric of this country with no end in sight* atom: this is really bad news for Trump
  2. I'm not gonna take any offense to you comparing me to a child, as this is not an emotional awakening for me. I want to be grounded in truth and reality. Nothing lasts forever. The regime has been weakened and will fall at some point. What comes next is not guaranteed to be better, especially considering the opposition that has influence and/or power at this moment.
  3. The clarity I feel now is due to unsticking myself from the expat mentality. I didn't look deeper into the issues due to some imposter syndrome, and trusted the opinions of family that I love and respect that were deeply affected by the Islamic regime. I am removing myself from the bubble. I don't understand the point of this post. That no one knows anything? Ok.
  4. When I was much younger, my dad would speak very critically of the Shah, saying that the country was going to shit way before Islamic Regime. Now he is a supporter of the Shah's son, because after almost 50 years that's all the diaspora could come up with for a replacement to the Islamic Regime. Pahlavi is a trust fund kid that hasn't even had a job since leaving Iran 47 years ago. Just living the dream life in the US off his dad's fortunes. And this motherfucker is gonna lead the battle and movement for a "free" Iran? And who do the majority of Iranians support and trust? Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, Lindsey Graham,Tom Cotton, etc. It's be funny if it wasn't so infuriating.
  5. A little bit of digging says these are Kurds protesting and we have no idea how old the video is. The atrocities in Iran are very real but the propaganda and misinformation online are as well. The monarchist movement is a fucking joke and a failure. Sorry.
  6. Takes some shots at Minnesota Dem officials for being spineless as well. Good.
  7. This dude just keeps spitting truths. What a failure.
  8. Fuuuuuuuck you. These fucking pieces of shit.
  9. We all saw it coming with CBS News, and it's all happening incredibly fast. The takeover of this country is coming from every direction. Media, tech, AI, sports, prediction/gambling markets...all hitching their wagons to the authoritarian right wing.
  10. What an absolute joke. If it wasn't already obvious already, Polymarket is a right wing coded entity that will do a lot of harm to our country. Add it to the list of why we're fucked.
  11. The main objective of AI use from civilians is to scam and defraud other people.
  12. ReutersIran protests abate after deadly crackdown, residents and...Iran's deadly crackdown appears to have broadly quelled protests for now, according to a rights group and residents, as state media reported more arrests in the shadow of repeated U.S. threats to inte
  13. A true example of Trump Derangement Syndrome. They are just hallucinating at this point. If we ever get our country back, what do you do with these people?
  14. I'm fucking furious we ended up killing it in the portal. "All in", huh? Congrats on winning the pot, assholes.
  15. Mearsheimer is awesome and completely nails it.
  16. Anyone else getting real fucking tired of Dem politicians telling these protesters to act peacefully? The "opposition" party is completely neutered. They are not doing a DAMN THING to stop the Trump regime. They have shown themselves to be powerless and willing to be run over. It's become clear that regular people in this country are the only option to stop this authoritarian takeover.
  17. All of this is complete folly, There are 93 million people in Iran. And the reality is most of the diaspora would be fine with leveling the entire country and starting over. I think most of them really don't care for anyone in Iran outside of their own family members who stayed. They miss the land, but not the people. Remember, the loudest voices in the diaspora are basically boomers. Everything is self-interest. That is my opinion based on all I've seen, and there hasn't been much evidence to disprove it. The people that were against the extremist Islamic regime in 1979 left the country or died. The people who stayed were pro-Islamic regime or too scared to leave. There is not a strong thread that ties these groups together almost 50 years later. Remove the sanctions, promote democracy with soft power, and keep relations to hold nuclear program in check. Let Iranians figure it out on there own and hold their hand if desired. The fact that we've depended on US and ISRAEL to magically solve things is so fucking embarrassing.
  18. Some people are holding onto the idea that Trump is playing possum. The reality is you cannot remove the Islamic regime with a one and done attack like Maduro. You have to be at war for weeks, months, possibly years. Obviously Trump is a total wild card, so who know how this plays out. I wish the Iranian people would give up on the Pahlavi bullshit. Move on, the guy is a clown and not a leader in any way.
