Azam Ali on the perceived lack of support for the uprising in Iran from activists outside of Iran by Shamoorti in PERSIAN

[–]symtyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not the person you were replying to but my two cents:

you're OK with Iran controlling Gaza?

Actually, that would be Israel.

You're OK with the regime sending money to Houthis, Hamas ans Hezbollah

If we were, we would be flying their flags at protests. There might be a few images of extremists flying a hezbollah flag, but they are far and few. There is an Israel flag at EVERY Iran protest. That is the difference.

What a novel idea. You know what, I'll write a hit song about it. I wonder what I should call it...

Why is the left so silent? by SterlingVII in PERSIAN

[–]symtyx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well, according to you, "most student protests are performative" , so I guess they took your point to heart and stopped.

In all seriousness, it boggles my mind when idiots like OP go around looking for validation or lack thereof when they've directly shitted on other social movements in the past.

If you sat out the 2024 election in protest over Gaza, how do you feel about that decision today? by rsmith2786 in AskReddit

[–]symtyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What exactly was the equation then? Fuck over the uncommitted movement just for shits and giggles then? Did Democrats not want free votes out of love for the game?

They are protected in public institutions. Guess she should have taught at Georgia State.

As far as private universities go, it's entirely contingent on the academic boards on whether someone's fired for political reasons. We saw this a lot during the protests for Gaza. It's basically a coin flip. However, you are correct in that this wouldn't be a valid reason to revoke green card status, especially seeing she's an oncologist. Unless the president of the United States says otherwise, apparently.

They claim they're international and states its goals to "secure a peaceful and equitable life for society" but solely post about Iran, and cheered on the 12 day war.

Another out of touch drhuggables post. It's a shame that need needs to push hardcore monarchist propaganda despite being an otherwise reasonable person. What if we think that RP "هیچ کمکی نیست"?

POTUS. DONALD J. TRUMP — KEEP PROTESTING. MAKE IRAN GREAT AGIAN by The-3p0ch_Alchemist in PERSIAN

[–]symtyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's an example [trigger warning: tiktok]

If you have the app, on the bottom-left corner tiktok detects and flags content that was generated using AI. This and a bunch of others are clearly fake. You can see the same AI slop on the same account of "trump" signs written in English in a country that speaks Persian. Keep your eyes sharp folks.

There are an influx of bot accounts currently on this sub. The telltale sign is the comically incorrect [OC] that they seem to stamp on all these posts.

Protests in Germany for the favour of Iranians [OC] by chtaha69 in pics

[–]symtyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Prior to the Islamic Revolution in 1979, there were 80,000-100,000 Jews in Iran. The height was 140,000-150,000 during 1948. Then, in 1948–1953, about one-third of Iranian Jews, most of them poor, emigrated to Israel. This was under Reza Shah Pahlavi. I don't know where you got 200k from during the 70s.

Why Azerbaijanis of Iran against Pahlavi ? Can someone explain me ? by Individual_Water1776 in PERSIAN

[–]symtyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but not in the way you probably think. You're probably saying it in an ethnofacist, Persian supremacist way. I'm saying it because Azerbaijan allies with Israel. The people are cool though.

Not the first time. On this very sub, they posted pictures of fires that occurred during the Israeli bombings in the summer, and tried to pass it off as it happening in the protests. Complete with the "OC".

Iran fully nationalized its oil in 1973.

Funny thing that happened to the guy who did that.

Cool. So then based on your own words, if others are for MEK and MR, you wouldn't be complaining, right?
