    I’m no fan of American imperialism either but the regime in Iran is actively massacring their civilians on a scale never before seen during protests, I have Iranian friends and they know full well that America and Israel don’t have their best interests at heart, and yet they still want them to intervene because they don’t see any other way for change to happen. My Iranian friends don’t even really like Reza Pahlavi but he’s the most significant figure in these protests and so they’re supporting him purely in solidarity with the people.

    It’s a very complicated and nuanced situation and it can’t really be reduced to a meme like this without losing important context.

      How many countries do you have to destroy before you stop falling for regime change justifications?
