I'm not denying anything, except the neutrality of HRAI. It looks, in my view, as a CIA front. Also, they report 10000 detained people, but it's not like you would care about it.

Ah, it's "just" 2,600 human lives cut short for protesting against authoritarianism and we'll over 10,000 more imprisoned with the regime pledging to execute them. Not that you care about it as those three magic letters clearly justify anything to you.

I don't take those numbers as facts, that's all. Don't presume you know me. The 10000 figure of dead people was plain misinformation, even taking the source as true.

Almost as if the lemmites "communist, socialist, anarchist" population are fascist authoritarians hiding behind a mask, posing for online clout.

From what I've read it sounds like they're attempting a bourgeois revolution. Historically, it doesn't bode well for the working class there, and eventually even for the revolutionaries themselves. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though.

I don't particularly care for the Iranian government (they support Palestine and are anti-imperialist, but they have some really shitty policies at home). That said, the most likely outcome if the revolutionaries succeed is the US installing a puppet fascist government, most likely reinstating the Shah. It can get so much worse from here, just look at Syria.

Leftists all arounds the world are known to be radical Islam sympathisers just because they are anti-west. It’s the hard truth and I am going to get downvoted to hell for saying this.

I hear you. I agree with you very much. Not entirely. It’s just so complex. Not looking to debate or make a strong point. Push come to shove, I’m in your camp. Hesitant to be 100% on this. Reality per my view about 75% agreed.
