Historians are going to have plenty of work to do describing how the US threw away all of their soft power over the course of some decades. Absolutely wild to see.

It's not just him though, there is a whole admin that is also happy to do this and these people will still be around ready to start over in another future republican government, even if it's democrats that get in next time. A bug chunk of America appears to be happy to be on this path now.

So true. I'm glad that people acknowledge this "Liberal values" shtick was opium.for the masses. The global south has always known the US as a rapacious imperial force for resource theft, exploitation and violence

Yeah, it's funny how many shills tried calling me racist for supporting the Iranian protestors in 2021 and later in 2025 and 2026.

Like, if I was racist, then why would I care about their problems and empathize and express solidarity?

The Iranian people don't deserve to be bombed by the US and Israeli militaries. They don't deserve to be massacred for protesting against police brutality either. Or to be beaten to death in police custody for not wearing a hijab "properly."

There are some wild mental leaps that some people will go through to support a violent regime just because it's anti-West.

I guess Israel is so hated in the US by younger more receptive audiences that they don't need to highlight it.

Sign in to confirm you're not a bot. This helps us protect the community.

Got anything besides youtube? They apparently don't want me to watch it (at least not without IDing myself to them...)

Also, how the fuck does verifying the viewer's humanity protect the fucking community? I'm not commenting or liking shit.

but is this video being put out by the same regime that [...]

It is not, actually. The group behind this is mostly a collective of around 9-10 Iran-based, Gen Z creators operating independent of the IRGC and/or official government of Iran. Their group/org name is "Explosive Media".

Lumping everyone in Iran as somehow part of "the regime" is kinda a shitty thing to do.

That, and Trump's ACA/Medicaid cuts are estimated to cause upwards of more than 50,000 premature deaths in the US, so you're also objectively wrong if going by numbers, alone.

In Trump's first term, U.S.-led coalition forces killed more than 29,000 non-combatants in Iraq and Syria.

But sure, the government fighting a CIA-backed, armed rebellion is worse than the government that--checks notes--drops tomahawk missiles on other countries' elementary schools.

Has more direct, violent control of their own people? Sure. Worse than trump and friends? Dunno bout that. Due to trump's malice and incompetence, he's getting people killed in the US as well as abroad. Plenty in Cuba are suffering and dying because of him right now. Africa too. They're both shit and I won't root for either. I certainly won't begrudge them killing our soldiers following illegal orders over there invading at least.

Please decide yourself. The regime killed 20,000, 30,000, or 40,000? The USA is responsible for millions of deaths. I am sorry, but the USA is way worse than the Iranian regime.

Two things can both be bad.

Bad people can be right.

Saying "this video by the Iranian regime roasts the US regime" doesn't automatically mean that the Iranians are right. I see the rebuttal that there's an implicit boosting and platforming of this which normalizes it. I don't know which is worse. I think we'll need hindsight for that.

Mossad and CIA operatives kicked off a violent uprising in Iran in January, following economic protests, which targeted police and other protestors. It was a cynical attempt to encourage a crackdown so Western propaganda could use it as a basis for "humanitarian intervention"

It didn't work but that absurdly false death count has stuck around like a bad smell. Verified death count is 3,000 and many of those were police.

I heard it was 20 TRILLION!!

Sorry. I don’t buy into western propaganda. The 20,000 is clearly made up.
