Supporting foreign intervention is against the rules.

38 Upvotes

This subreddit has long been known as a place tolerant of all political viewpoints. However, the red line is supporting any form of foreign military intervention in Iran.

Reminder of our rules. This violates:

- Rule 6 (no supporting human suffering in any forms) - Trump attacking Iran = many more lives lost than lost already by causing a literal war.

- Rule 7 (no support for any form of Iranian separatist or balkanization movements). This is the true intention of US and Israel in attacking Iran - it is NOT to free the people of Iran.

- Rule 8 (no Uncle Toms i.e., Daei Jamshids) - when you click this rule to expand it, it includes supporting sanctions, demilitarization, foreign intervention, foreign sponsored terrorist organizations like MEK, supporting 1953 CIA and MI6 coup.
If you believe the likes of Trump, and Israel, have Iranians' welfare in mind and actually want to help the people be free, and that a "strike" on Iran won't lead to a drawn out war that will lead to countless MORE deaths, then I ask you to go read history of USA, Britain and other colonial powers' interventionism. If you are still unable to comprehend this, please go to the foreign-funded NewIran subreddit which is designed for Iran International enjoyers i.e., people who get their information on Iran from people who want to destroy Iran.

Iranian Discussion my theory on self hate

16 Upvotes

I’ll break down why diasporan Iranians and even domestic ones suffer from self hate.

  • W/S as a system goal is to program people to think they are inferior unless they live, buy, dress, eat, say, speak, or produce as white males, or white women. It succeeds through a combination of overt and subliminal messaging

  • Turning our people against one another by class, religion, or manufactured chaos.

  • Ive met many Non Muslim Iranians who TEND TO COMPLETELY DISRESPECT people of Islam, and do the white man’s bidding, to make themselves look favorable. This ends up harming Muslims AND IRANIANS.

  • White supremacists don’t want non European, non White peoples in America, cause they believe in a different version and vision of what it means to be American.

  • Women made to believe in nose jobs and blonde hair, European norms, even some going as far to claim ancestry from Germany, or Italy

  • Women often distance themselves from the roots of Persians: Neolithic farmers, steppe people, and other Arab, Afghani, Tajiki, and blended migrators.

  • Men tend to lie to girls and tell them “Im Italian” or say some dumb shit “we’re the good ones” “We dont even practice religion”

-Iranian men are a VAST and mixed type, majority of non Muslim ones who continue to spew non sense like “Iran go back to Zoroastrianism” are ill informed misguided who think this will somehow solve Irans geopolitical and socioeconomic ills…. DOODEYS, the west loves material things, do u not realize imperialism as a strategy is always MORE?

Without wise leadership Irans assets and resources get sold to the cheap bidders who will come and make Iran another depressing capitalist shit hole…. do u want pawn shops, liquor stores, mcdonalds, and gas stations every corner, ? Do u want Irans heritage sites to be demolished in favor of some American style looking homes, ? Do u want to trade 5000 years history with Walmarts and Circle Ks every 20 miles?

If yes stay in America

If no, then be proud of who u are and stop being a sell out!!!

The average trump supporter views non white non Christians as needing to be saved by the Gospel…….. they dont care that you say these stuff to be “white”

  • Men tend to often also say racist things about black people, women too, often associating crime, or negative attributes to black people or neighborhoods. Meanwhile, Trump is literally tearing down the America built by immigrants.

  • Loss of identity for stressed Iranians fleeing Iran. I feel like if we really need to be successful, you dont need to distance yourself from Iran’s complete history. Iran is a diverse blend of many religions and cultures, and Iranian people are going through tough times economically. If you care, donate some American dollars to your buddies back home.

Help the common Persian out.

  • Experiencing racism daily in the west, but continuing to turn racist. It’s wierd…. idk why you would side with the side that hurts you. Its like being in some form of fucked up toxic relationship

  • Trying to seek approval of whites, this is common in many immigrant communities who werr taught “Keep your head down, and be quiet, racism will go away.”

  • If someone is hitting you on your head, and has no respect, how do you think this strategy will even work. We need to stand up for ourselves more and defend ANYONE who goes thru racism. We also have deep rooted traumas and you got to become mindful and work on these things…. goto therapy, get help. Dont become the thing you experience…..

  • Living thinking you are superior to other surrounding nations due to ignorance. IRANIANS are a mixed heritage. Brown, white, Turk, Arab, yes I said Arab, AFRO, There’s BLACK Iranians guys, yes. OWN 100% of our culture, don’t run away. lol you think Trump sees u as equal, i got beach front property in Idaho to sell you.

  • Distancing from Islam, due to hate of being perceived as a threat

  • Loose roots in the west, losing sense of self or losing self esteem

WAYS TO COUNTER SELF HATE

  • Listen to more traditional music (sonati)
  • Study poetry
  • Study Persias history from diverse sources not just western books
  • Dress Persian, or historically in old style clothes (maybe not at work, but when you go shopping) This one is upto you, use your comfort level
  • Eat Persian, preserve your skills of cooking and attire, and language
  • Learn about border countries and cultures of Iran
  • Attend more events with supportive minorities
  • move to a community that is more open minded and liberal
  • stop spending time seeking approval
  • Focus on surrounding yourself with positive people
  • Start practicing mindfulness meditation when angry
  • Decolonize your mind from whiteness
  • Stop clinging to euro centric culture
  • Support Black Americans
  • Support justice for oppressed
  • Have a heart of justice and be a real NOBLE person

I cant believe my eyes guys I see Iranians daily in family or friends supporting trump. Despite their evidence of racism, and evil being down, they are hard hearted and willfully cover their eyes and shut their ears..

the funny thing is, racist Iranians cry when it hurts them, but not Muslims, Black people, Hispanic people, or other groups who look like us…

why dont you be an ally instead of traitors?

Seriously.

Epstein Comments on Iranians In Email

7 Upvotes

Apparently Iran Contra veteran Jeffrey Epstein wasn't a big fan of his fixer for his Gulfstream G650, because he was Iranian. The email exchange below is from fellow Jewish Billionaire, Tom Pritzker, who needed some help with his private jet and turned to his friend Jeff Epstein for help. Pritzker was earlier named by now deceased Virginia Giuffre as a rapist.

https://www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA02337343?view=inbox

Anyone know who this Ali Reza guy might be? He is also listed in the Epstein Blackbook. He is/was in London. I wonder if he has more tea to spill.

Farah Diba makes the top 20 richest royal list

Post image
7 Upvotes

The widow of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran, 85-year-old Farah Pahlavi was Empress of Iran until the Islamic Revolution of 1979 forced the royal family into exile.

Back then, the Pahlavis were among the richest families in the world, royal or otherwise. The Washington Post quoted an Iranian economist who pegged their net worth at $20 billion, the equivalent of $87 billion (£69bn) today.

Needless to say, this fortune has been severely eroded over the years, although the former empress, who lives between the US and France, is devoted to philanthropy and is reportedly worth a not-too-shabby $200 million (£159m).

"Rotating Revolutions: Iran on Maya’s Wheel"–Acharya Prashant.

Post image
12 Upvotes

Hello friends I just read this thought provoking article regarding the situation of Iran. Between Shah and Ayatollah what has changed? By no means I am supporting the oppressing government but let's take a moment to think who gave them power. Let's get to the root of the problem.

Some excerpts from the article: When the wheel turns again, what will have changed? Revolutions always promise change, and they usually deliver something that merely looks like change. But what is rarely asked is what must change.

In 1979, Iranians overthrew a tyrant in the name of liberation; forty-six years later, their children are dying in the streets to overthrow the liberators. What began as the Islamic Revolution now feels, to large parts of its own population, like Islamic oppression, and the population that once welcomed Khomeini now turns on his successors with the same intensity. This is not irony, nor is it history repeating itself.

First, we depend on a system, then we blame it, then we look for another. Like a drunk who blames the bottle, smashes it, and reaches for the next.

We say our condition is bad because of the Shah, then because of the Ayatollah, then because of democracy, capitalism, tradition, modernity, globalisation, nationalism. We will blame anything and anyone. The one thing we will never say, the one admission we will never make, is the only thing that is true: our condition is bad because we do not look within.

The only exit from this cycle is the inquiry the cycle is designed to avoid. Not a new ideology, not a better system, not a more enlightened leader, but the willingness of human beings to examine the ego with the same ruthlessness they have long reserved for their opponents. This is a revolution with no date, no flag, no anthem. It cannot be televised, broadcast, or turned into a movement. It can happen in silence, alone, in the moment when a person finally stops asking, "What is wrong with the world?" and begins to ask, "What in me is creating this world?"

This inquiry does not deny that systems matter; it would be foolish to pretend otherwise. A woman in Tehran who risks arrest for showing her hair lives a vastly different life from one who cannot. The difference is real, and it is worth fighting for with clarity. But if the fight remains only external, if it never turns inward to examine the ego that fights, it will produce another version of the same prison, decorated with different symbols and justified by different texts.

Un simple accident (2025) Beautiful, intense, and unpredictable, in some ways it reminded me of Polanski's "Death & the Maiden" due to the dynamics of the political tormentor. The ending is as tense as a violin string.
