It’s not just “something negative” it’s an entirely made-up narrative, right at a crucial moment in geopolitics
This is trot behavior and reeks of chauvinism
I’m usually those users lol, but Iran’s protests just seem like the result of a conservative society with unaccountable cops, rather than the color revolution some are calling it
Yeah, the young woman who died was Kurdish, the protests started in Kurdistan, and the Kurds will happily revolt against the Ayatollah without any help from the CIA. Frankly, the hexbear line that any antipathy towards a regime unfriendly to the US must be due to outside influence is pretty dismissive of the agency of oppressed people.

Why aren’t you considering the lived experience of Miami Cubans and the Falun Gong? It’s pretty dismissive to the agency of oppressed people. You privileged white leftists should stop talking over POC :fedposting:
True there’s a tendency to oversimplify overseas domestic conflict, and also that exact line, about the denying the agency of chosen dissenters has been specifically weaponized to give cover for regime change ops, most recently, to my recollection, in Bolivia and Cuba. You’re still correct imo in this case
