I hate saying this. And I want to state I'm uneducated on Irans ideologies and culture, but Iran looks like a boss right now. And America's culture is pretty shitty in terms of how it's abused... Like legal abuse is America's game. It feels like America is a Mafia. Or like the kkk... It adopts a highway while it rapes life at the same time.
The mafia comparison is actually spot on, that's what we have the IMF for. "Nice country you have there, it would be a shame if something were to happen to it. Why don't you take out some exorbitant loans with my friend here, slash your social services and open your resources to corporate pillaging to pay for them, and I'll park this aircraft carrier nearby to keep an eye out, make sure nothing unfortunate happens to you."
Not to imply that Iran’s government is utopian, but everything you know about it came from imperial core states, corporate media, and NGOs (which are funded by corporations), and the imperial core has wanted regime change in Iran ever since their comprador government was booted from Iran in 1979. Not as large a portion of Iranians are anti-government as we’re told, and almost none want to get bombed and then have their current government replaced with another comprador one like before.
