“Believe iranians, except the ones inside iran that dont agree with us, which is like 99% of them”. This is often applied to every country lol and when people say believe x people they just mean the diaspora. Idk this just pmo recently. Like people still believe in north korean defectors even after ridiculous claims made by that woman yonmi park or whatever her name is that rats eat people and then people eat those rats, or when she said that people push trains by hand lmao like its so ridiculous you would think that its comedy or something but people do believe her which is insane, even tho they probably disagree with their western government they think “they cant be lying about this one no way”. “Believe x people except for x people who are in their x country”, fucking dumbass logic lol
“Believe X people but only those who hate their country and want to see it bombed.”
it’s tokenization and it’s so racist
The “Iranian” diaspora aren’t going back to Iran. If usa wins and they get what they are cheering for the country will be a ruin and they wouldn’t want to go live there. They are cheering because someone their parents told them to hate is going to suffer.
Oh some of them will absolutely go back to take advantage of the chaos and be part of the looting & plunder that follows. They’ll get rich off of enslaving their own people and will be quite proud of that.
the country will be a ruin and they wouldn’t want to go live there
they just need a puppet who cares for the reconstruction business and let them expoil resources or let them sell to US for a good price after privatizations
Much like how you are supposed to ask eastern europeans about communism except for the ones that tell you it was actually good, which are obviously brainwashed or just grumpy old people who are nostalgic for the times they were young and their gentials worked (literally heard this one on redditfront a few years back).
