hello folks. i finally got through the iranian internet blackout so im here doomposting. it's fucking hopeless here. i can see no hope in the foreseeable future for this fucking country. every political faction sucks in major ways, all of them are some form of reactionary. the spectre of war is looming and the only way i can see this go is the path of libya.

i know i know revolutionary optimism yada yada but at this point it feels like being optimistic about any improvements in this god forsaken place is completely ignoring the actual conditions on the ground. even if war doesn't kill us, climate change will soon make most of this place uninhabitable, if the lack of water hasn't already. worse than that, people don't just lack political education, they are completely politically "dis-educated", festered with propaganda, paranoia, conspiracy theories and hatred. imagine if everyone were in some sort of qanon MAGA cult, maybe even worse.

so im giving up. fuck this entire country it's cursed. fuck every racist monarchist piece of shit i hope they die from the fucking bombs they wish for. fuck every person i can't fedpost about. im this close to losing my sanity.

Your rage is justified and it is normal to feel despair in difficult times. Take care of yourself comrade.

Death to America

Not trying to invalidate your feelings here at all but from my perspective it seems like Iran managed to fight off yet another major zionist attack. The situation is obviously far from perfect there but the revolution is intact.

even if the state is intact it's going to be extremely shitty in a lot of places for a lot of people.
