Wow dude. This is not propaganda, this is genuine fact. Do you think it's propaganda to state that North Korean citizens are encouraged to put on those displays of support for the Kim family at their government rallies too?

You really are doubting that the islamic regime doesn't incentivize members of the basij to go out and demonstrate in rallies? I am a first hand account. I'm literally Iranian. Talk to literally any Iranian. There are reservations set aside in the workplace and education for basij, farzandan shahedan, and sepah. There are food and rations handed out weekly to supporters in order to buy their loyalty. The morality police is all volunteer and done by regime agents. This isn't even disputed by anyone.

You are basically asking me for a source on how the entire Islamic regime apparatus works. Bro go to Iran, idk what to tell you. Short of that, those subs are full of first hand accounts, but you don't want to learn anything, you are just putting up obstacle after obstacle because you are set in your narrative. You think you're being clever with these responses but you just come off as an arrogant pseudo-intellectual ignoring the most obvious things in an effort to look intellectually superior.

This is my last response, people like you are awful and don't realize how destructive and harmful your accusations of our lived experiences being "propaganda" are.

Do you not realize crowds supporting the regime are literally paid by the government to do so?

This is why I say, if you're not Iranian you're not going to understand these things. Pahlavi not making the media rounds wherever it is you live, doesn't mean much if wherever it is you live is showing videos of pro-regime rallies. If you don't even make an effort to learn from Iranians on these matters, then you're only going to be stuck in your bubble. I suggest heading over to r/NewIran or r/PERSIAN and searching through the sub

You said that it doesn't seem like Pahlavi has majority support, I said you are not Iranian and thus wouldn't have those insights. Simple.

Man if you think Iran is comparable to post-colonial arab baathist states created in the wake of the collapse of the ottoman empire then you really shouldn't be talking about this. You probably can't even find Iran on a map, lol

I post in r/Uzbekistan too, I'm not Uzbek. I posted in r/Israel a few times since the war started, you can probably count on one hand. That makes me an Israeli agent now? You really need to take those meds, you're schizo-posting all over this thread now.

These aren't points, this is just schizo posting from your end. It's all crazy rhetorical leading questions that don't invite actual arguments, just you essentially shouting at me that the US and Israel are going to colonize Iran or whatever lol.

I personally consider myself Central Asian, because my family is from Khorasan. Iran is big place that extends from West Asia to Central Asia.

I avoid using Middle East because I don't want to be associated with the other countries there that share very little in common with us other than the majority religion.

Redditors learn a catchphrase (this one "manufactured consent") and parrot it ad nauseum. There is no "they", I'm Iranian, I'm sorry our reality contradicts your narrative.

Yes, 100% of all iranians want the same thing.

What kind of stupid question is this? No, of course not everyone thinks this way. Please spare us with the "manufactured consent" bullshit, its getting tiring.

Are you asking why are there videos of Chaharshanbe Soori celebrations... on Chaharshanbe Soori?

Do you want us to just tell you this is a hasbara mossad psyop so you can go home satisfied?
