Let me put a more rational answer here.

Some time ago, a woman in Iran was stoned for not wearing a head dress. People in the West think that is how Iran rolls. The truth is many women don't wear anything on their heads, and it was news only because it was wildly out of the ordinary. But the West uses shit like that to make you think Iran is bad.

Don't confuse what some people in Iran say about wiping Israel off the map or the US Great Satan... with what the diplomatic official positions of Iran are. There are always crazy people saying extreme things, and they don't represent Iran. Iran has always been very logical and reasonable in it's diplomatic actions and foreign relations. They only recently threatened to attack American bases IF America attacked them. I'm not aware of any other threats against the US from Iran (other than the half-cocked statements of individuals which are all over the map, you must understand).

Also people think Iran wants to wipe out the Jews. But there are more than 9,000 jews living peacefully in Iran and they are not only respected, they have a say in government.

Iran and it's proxies have clearly expressed why Israel has been attacked by it's proxies for decades now. and that is in support of autonomy for the Palestinians. And they have proven they aren't lying. Every time there is a ceasefire with Hamas, all the proxies of Iran stop too. Everytime the ceasefire breaks, the proxies resume. They are enacting a cost to Israel's genocide of Palestinians so that hopefully Israel stops doing it. They haven't stopped, they are instead choosing to pay the cost.

Now you can technically call that terrorism. That is correct. Using violence or threats of it to try to change a government's policy is the definition of terrorism. But then you must admit that Israel and the US are using terrorism as much or more than Iran's proxies are.

Now you might think I'm anti-semetic. But almost all the people I listen to on social media (X, YouTube) are Jews. Go figure. There is quite a logical difference between being against the policies and actions of the state of Israel as lead by Netanyahu and his Likud party, and hating on Jewish people.

That being said, all believers in God are suspect to me. Jews, Christians, Muslims, I find them all dangerous due to the fact that they show themselves highly deluded. Delusions can make people do illogical things, and illogical people are unpredictable. That makes them dangerous.

Well in Iran like in every dictatorship things are tolerated but if you say something against the government you end up dead because of some regulation you broke. You all have short memories. They hanged people with cranes in public places. There was a revolution years ago and all the participants just disappeared. That government has to go. Forever

Are you living in Iran? Then take down the government you don't like. Otherwise don't tell other people how to govern themselves. Have some respect.

Why don't you take down the US government that steals 40% of what you earn, surveils the hell out of you and lies to you constantly. Take care of your own house.

Your generation is a mess. Your life is so short and your information just bullshit propaganda that you think you know all. I am not in the US and my taxes are 11%. 40% taxes are for ignorant people. Freedom is open to everybody. If you are there poor and angry is just because you have no idea about the rules of this world.

You don't even know me and you think you know my generation and some collectivist ageist bullshit defines me? Are you counting everything you pay? Do you think nothing is wrong with the ruling class rapacious stealing from the people? Just what the hell is it you believe? That if you get yours then it doesn't matter at all how needlessly fucked up the system is? Does it occur to you that you and everyone could have vastly more than you do now if it wasn't so fucked up? Wouldn't that be worth thinking on?

I rejected society for real before even people spoke about this issue. I am not rich but I am free to move and do what I want. Just that. People are too self focused to stay together and help plus there is a lot of propaganda that most people follow like religion. One thing is sure. Life was way easier many years ago.

You don't Iive in Iran either so shut up if you don't know. Iranians people I knew and I know told me directly they want an end to this dictatorship. Think about your life man. Not everybody spent their lives the same way and know the same stuff.
