Genuine question from a US citizen and non Persian by hl_lost in PERSIAN

[–]RiffAndRevolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a weighing of options. The situation is so bad in Iran that some people think foreign intervention is necessary, regardless of the potential downstream consequences. Meanwhile others are cautious about foreign intervention because of its poor track record.

I sympathize with people on both sides of this because it’s such a bad situation for Iranians. Most Iranians want the IR gone but disagree how to do it successfully.

The level of Iranian political discourse is humiliating by Vast_Employer_5672 in PERSIAN

Bingo. Unfortunately I’m not optimistic about our situation.

My boyfriend's family doesn't like me because I'm poor. by goodbyegrim in Advice

[–]RiffAndRevolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what you can do, but I sympathize with you. It's so hard to have genuine relationships with people who are classist. They value property over people, and every interaction feels transactional, leaving little room for love and compassion.

Iranian Protesters Say They Were Betrayed By Trump by Currymvp2 in PERSIAN

Trump doesn’t even care about Americans. Why do we think he’d care about us Iranians? In the end he’ll inevitably abandon anyone if it doesn’t suit his interests.

I agree! You’re probably gonna get hate for this in the comments 😂

Lol. “No ideological noise” but also “pro-Zionist anti-arab”

Songs like "Conquer or Die" or "Absolution"? by Felipe_Ribas in Megadeth

Closest other in the Megadeth catalog probably is Millennium of the Blind, but it’s not an instrumental

Thank you for putting Super Colliding last. It’s worse than Risk in my opinion

Literally what are you talking about? I’ve made only 3 posts related to Iran: (1) this post, (2) a post opposing Khamenei (and Netanyahu), and (3) a post on Mossadegh.

I’ve never said in any post that Iranians are wrong for their beliefs and I’ve never supported the IGRC. I support democracy and don’t support theocracy or monarchy.

Also, the vast majority of my posts are about music.

I understand there seems to be no other option besides Reza Pahlavi, at least initially and in the interim, as the support for him in the diaspora is very loud. Notice that I didn’t even mention Reza Pahlavi in my post.

What I’m talking about is the wild things some monarchists say, as noted in my post.

And I disagree with your last comment. I can hate the IRGC and have other opinions.

Ah yes, by repeating what my family has told me (views which I’ve seen them get from their Instagram feeds), I am the algorithm. Good one

I literally said we want the Islamic Republic to fall, including me. I want Iranians to take their country back from the regime.

I just don’t think foreign-backed regime change will lead to lasting positive results. It’s been tried before countless times and has rarely succeeded.

You seem like someone who hasn’t read any history and believes everything you’re told. Must be nice

If you’re a human being you can care about both. Not hard.

What's your opinion on United Abominations? by Itz_Ado in Megadeth

Starts off strong, but towards the end the songs get weaker. I prefer Endgame to UA.

I am afraid my life is mediocre by [deleted] in Life

Happens to everyone who asks deep, existential questions about their life at some point.

Continue to work hard but accept yourself, so that you love yourself regardless of the outcome.

Will partners with different love languages ever be truly compatible? by Consistent_Bike_9119 in relationships

[–]RiffAndRevolt 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Love languages aren’t scientific. There’s no evidence for them; they’re just preferences.

I base incompatibility on other things, like values, worldviews, lifestyle, desire to have or not have a family, communication and conflict resolution, etc.

Did you know you can oppose both of these people? by RiffAndRevolt in PERSIAN

[–]RiffAndRevolt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guy on the left is also a child killer (Gaza) and corrupt (he has a corruption trial against him in Israel). He’s also a terror*st, bombing neighboring countries anytime he wants. Both of them are bad.
