also you will find that liberal / socialist revolutions tend to pick up steam quickly and internationally most in power hate this fact of life

Samovar posted:Yeah, I'm curious too as to why this is. it's very much on purpose. western media generally isn't allowed into iran at all when they are allowed in they're not infrequently jailed and/or executed https://www.insidevoa.com/a/voa-denounces-the-arrests-of-multiple-journalists-in-iran-/6764111.html theres also the fact that israel/the west wants iran to destabilize and die. not worth riling up the college students on either side of the issue about a regime you'd wipe off the planet if you could. the 'right' gains no traction from being correctly equated to religious fundamentalism and the 'left' gains nothing from being equated to iranian progressives big lose/lose for modern western nationalist propaganda here. so you won't see it on tv.

the pretty hate machine of the news would not be able to effectively channel your dissatisfaction into anything profitable, so on to the next issue that sells better

Mozi posted:i'm sorry you think this isn't in the news because it would rile up all the pro-Islamic Republic college students? uhh hmm the united states of america hates iran. they want iran to die and destabilize. this is well documented by history. it's why you aren't seeing any of this poo poo on tv. the us doesn't give a gently caress and it doesn't want its populace to give a gently caress to this otherwise EASILY-relatable cause. it screws up the narrative of iran = bad. it's not organized propaganda dude it's just world politics. edit: unless you consider politics propaganda. which you should! it is.

well thats fair and accurate, it's not a vendetta against the entire country i dont mean to start an argument so ill back off whatever point i made in favor of bashing the morality police instead i just profess: there is a reason you don't hear about liberal revolutions in "axis of evil" countries and it's because thinking "we are all one" is not conducive to nationalism. i'd love if we lived in the star trek future where every democracy can stand on its own rules of law, but clearly we're still in the phase of humanity where the government will shoot you for cutting your hair

Blue Footed Booby posted:"I don't mean to start an argument" lol gently caress off. Don't act like you're nobly backing out for the sake of the thread. You said goofy poo poo and got called on it. That's internet posting sometimes. i honestly feel like im in the bizzaro zone where saying "the united states hates iran" is goofy, but aight. backing out ignobly,
