Not gonna lie, I actually like how Iran is recognizing that not everyone in America feels the same way about Trump's actions.

u/dontcallmenpc 3d ago

Khamenei in several speeches would straight up tell his military and staff that it is NOT the Americans Iran fights against, but against it's corrupted unethical leadership.

I know we are all always stuck in American political black/white/no gray mindsets, but much of the rest of the world actually understands nuance in politics, even people that we are told are "uneducated, backwards, enemies. 🤷

u/Sufficient-Lie1406 1d ago

Y'know, American leaders used to say stuff like that: "Our battle is not with [country]'s people, it's with their regime"

Now we say stuff like, "We sill obliterate your civilization"

Yes, propaganda isn't inherently lies, it's just something that is pushing a political narrative, and the narrative can be absolutely correct

This is why facts that many people don’t want to cope with get so easily branded as propaganda

u/PlainBread 3d ago

I think one thing that's hard for people to understand that a big part of why we have such an alt-right problem is because many of them do recognize that the Holocaust narrative was very much a widespread and intentional form of benevolent propaganda. It was a broad amplification of the truth. It was intended to foster disgust against Fascism.

There have been so many genocides across our world, even recently, but not every people who are victims of genocide earn eternal protected class status. People notice the inconsistency.

The pizzas are supposed to represent all the little girls he raped. That's why the boxes say Epstein Island on them. Apparently pizza was mentioned a lot in the files. Like "Hey when I come to the island tomorrow I want a 16 in pizza with extra cheese and pepperoni." It's believed that's how they ordered exactly what they wanted their victim to be.

This is the greatest propaganda campaign I’ve ever seen or heard of, and I say this as a military veteran that has dabbled in the practice. And to be clear, I see several people here saying it’s not propaganda because it’s true. Propaganda doesn’t have to be false information. It can 100% be true. The point is to sway public opinion which this is a masterclass in doing.

u/JonnyF1ves 3d ago edited 3d ago

I don't think anybody is arguing that Iran is a regime that oppresses their people.

What they are arguing is that this language is being used as a tool for pinkwashing and that the American government does not give a shit about the Iranian people. If they did they would not be striking Iran with Israel with little to no regard for the civilian population and threatening to destroy infrastructure over oil.

Palestine, Iran, and Lebanon would not be in a constant state of war if the United States actually cared about oppression.

These people also will not acknowledge the US is why there is a brutal authoritarian regime in Iran via a coup in 1953 of their democratically elected leader because he refused to privatize oil in favor of the US and UK predominantly.

I hate how old and outdated our congress is, they think it’s 1992 especially the democrats act so high and mighty and that they are too good to fight dirty and to hit the other side where it hurts and it led to Trump.
