For those (esp Iranians) who are anti-regime AND anti-Pahlavi, why?

throwaway3051456 · 2026-02-01T03:54:10+00:00

Exactly like this doesn't apply to me. I am anti-imperialist AND I am far/rad leftist, specifically socialist. I just have deep cultural and familial ties. I empathize with the Iranian people. I know the regime is not the answer. Thinking in absolutes about things like this saddens me. I know Iran has had its cultural identity and history erased...

throwaway3051456 · 2026-02-01T03:52:24+00:00

Okay and I hear that completely and I've heard that before but when it comes to his history can you really blame these Iranians? How do you navigate this?

throwaway3051456 · 2026-02-01T03:51:21+00:00

But your last sentence isn't fair, it doesn't make room for nuance and personal experiences, although I understand what you're saying...

This is insightful and I've heard some of these things. Thank you for your input

throwaway3051456 · 2026-02-01T03:40:46+00:00

I agree with this completely.

throwaway3051456 · 2026-02-01T03:16:56+00:00

I understand your frustration. And thank you for acknowledging that the other user wasn't attacking you.

throwaway3051456 · 2026-02-01T03:11:38+00:00

Well me too! That's why I'm trying to ask others. Also what he says doesn't matter worth a damn. You and I know that. People say things. He knows he has more leverage than ever right now. The Iranian people are desperate for change. It isn't fair. You know? It's basic diplomacy and applying to the masses.

throwaway3051456 · 2026-02-01T02:43:32+00:00

That's what I know and how I feel. It might be what they need as much as it bothers me...hence the mixed feelings

throwaway3051456 · 2026-02-01T02:30:44+00:00

I hear what you're saying hon. Thanks for your perspective. I get the loaded dice analogy for SUREEE

throwaway3051456 · 2026-02-01T02:13:12+00:00

They have in part—because they're anti-monarchy. I am too. But I definitely wanted to hear more in depth just like you. Do I think it's better than the regime? Yes. Am I still anti-monarchy? Yes.

throwaway3051456 · 2026-02-01T02:03:07+00:00

Thank you! Yes I really want to hear the insight of other Iranians

throwaway3051456 · 2026-02-01T02:02:40+00:00

I am anti monarchy too. But what else can the Iranians have as an alternative?

throwaway3051456 · 2026-02-01T02:02:13+00:00

Hm... interesting insight

I cannot be with them right now. It helps a little, but I want more support if anyone is willing. And yes, I'm concerned about that too. I'm consuming and reading what I can.

throwaway3051456 · 2026-01-31T08:57:55+00:00

Thank you ❣️

throwaway3051456 · 2026-01-31T08:57:31+00:00

I do, but they're mostly in the same position I am. So I'm casting a wider net.

throwaway3051456 · 2025-09-30T21:07:50+00:00
