Correct. The modern extent of China was acquired by genocide, but the notion of China itself was not.
I think the deciding difference is the foreign invasion and colonization that funded the US vs. the near mythologic cycle of violent fracture and violent reunification of China.
I dont want a war. I dont want military intervention. I just want these protestors to succeed. I know some of them. They should not have to live under the IRI anymore.
I've been suckered into this by knowing Iranians who don't want to live under the Mullahs any more.
And western meddling did not force the IRI to enact a brutal gender apartheid while also effectively putting Persian Iranians above all other ethnicities. Western meddling did not force the IRI to beat Mahsa Amini to death.
The Regime is under constant threat? Good. They should be.
Nono, the Iranian people must please stay quiet and just accept their theocratic overlords, you see. They really don't like the US, so we must kiss their ass.
Oh Israel does not want a free Iran. We're on the same page here. But Iranians do. And just going "tHeY'rE aLl MoSsAd AgEnTs" is fucking hilarious when you see how many of them are willing to get shot for their freedom. Surely it must all be done by Mossad agitators.
I feel really icky defending a prince, but Reza Kiri has, on multiple occasions, denounced the gender apartheid in Iran.
His father being misogynistic, like any patriarch, does not negate the fact that women are de facto second class citizens in Iran. Their testimony in court is worth less than that of a man, their right to divorce is severely limited and let's not forget how Mahsa Amini got beaten to death for not wearing her hijab correctly.
The current regime has been enforcing a gender apartheid system for over 45 years. I reserve the same hatred for these fuckers like I do for Netanyahu and Trump.
Yeah man, it's all the Mossad, actual Iranians are totally happy and totally support their very friendly government. They are totally not writing songs about how they are going to tear government officials limb from limb.
RT posts headlines like "Canada will declare War on US over Greenland" but its the BBC thats fearmongering lol
