Instagram and Facebook delete the accounts of Iran’s supreme leader::Ayatollah Ali Khamenei supported Hamas’s 7 October attack on Israel, which Meta said violated its policies
Our CIA is to blame for sabotaging Iran’s government (by installing a dictator) which threatened our oil monopoly. Then a few decades later, we get to pretend that Iran did it to themselves.
The Middle East was an incredibly advanced and educated part of the world before our CIA and NATO allies intentionally installed dictators everywhere.

Right, so the CIA ousted a pro-Soviet Iranian leader in, what, the 1950s? Not defending that, but it was a long time ago. At what point does the theocracy in charge of Iran bear responsibility for the current situation? Or will it always be America’s fault?
There is no statute of limitation on installing an oppressive regime in a foreign nation, CIA bootlicker.
The current oppressive regime in Iran wasn’t installed by the CIA.
Lol, are you serious about your “statute of limitations” claim? If so, I guess you think those damn Romans are responsible for Brexit. Is King George responsible for Trump, too? Get a grip, friend.
Seriously, Instagram and Facebook would also need to to delete the CIA’s account for this to make any sense (hating how extremist Iran is without acknowledging it was an explicit consequence of the CIA forcing regime change is just naive jingoism) but this is just about pissing on Iran to curry favor with other people.
I wonder if you took the comments of Iran’s evil leader and mixed them up with statements from conservative US politicians, removed obvious references to Christianity, Islam, and countries and then sat people down and tried to get them to guess who said what it would be pretty damn hard.
Speak of the devil, here’s Netanyahu channeling the villain from Captain America: Winter Soldier in a now deleted tweet.
The weak crumble, are slaughtered and are erased from history while the strong, for good or for ill, survive. The strong are respected, and alliances are made with the strong, and in the end peace is made with the strong.
This is just textbook fascism.
It frustrates me that fascists like this can claim “this is the way of nature, the strong survive and the weak perish in competition” and no one challenges them. We are so primed to see everything through a fascist lens by neoliberalism because neoliberalism doesn’t provide any path forward but a broken, insufficient narrative.
Nature is full of cooperation, the interplay between fungi and trees for one is a dizzying network of relationships. In most ecosystems flourishing is a mutual process not a zero sum game, diversity begets stability, capacity to adapt and efficiency.
The ideology of fascists like Netanyahu will never lead a society to strength, because the point of adopting such a cruel and hateful ideology is a violent disinterest in understanding others, which is the precise opposite of an expression of strength.
The ultimate strength is realizing what others are capable of that you could never accomplish yourself and developing a mutual relationship to gain access to those things, the type of “warriors” Netanyahu are talking about here are just sad, isolated people with very little power to do anything meaningful in this world but needlessly kill and maim, they are incapable of even beginning to understand the rich, dizzying tapestry of different kinds of genius that a functional society requires to thrive and grow. They are incapable of doing actual work to retain status in their community so they clumsily fumble at violence and fear to try to fill that void of uselessness.
Use your words. Where else in the middle east have we installed dictators? You said “everywhere” so I’d like some details and not just hyperbole…

Argument? What I wrote is an undisputed fact.
It’s ok as long as they’re not genocidal Zionists.
maybe they just got their conversations mixed up. happens to the best of us. by which, i mean it happens to me, and i’m obviously The Best ™.
Screw this guy, but what’s baffling is that Meta didn’t do the same to Netanyahu. I guess genocide doesn’t violate their policies.
They should use nostr. Good luck removing them then. Even the fediverse would not work in this case.
