For the uninitiated: Western propaganda about Iranian women all forcibly wearing headscarves is exaggerated into oblivion.

It is so blatantly fake that it’s debunked by a few seconds on Youtube:

Go to any random point in this video, which after the intro is one continuous long shot: https://youtu.be/HpCMThYr8WU?t=212

Or any other video on this channel. Or search the words “Iran walk” on youtube and go to some other channel and you can see a woman without headscarf every 20 seconds in busy areas.

    We cannot trust the info our news is fed. Even the well intentioned ones. The ones with the wherewithall to call out such campaigns for war, like the nytimes, gave up already. I think israel broke their brain, they had an identity crises and realized they are fascist removed.

    Iran’s government being bad like every govt is beside the point. This instability was fomented by the west after a war on false pretexts by the west, now propagandizing for more bad faith military action. The protesters are pawns of the west, iran will assiciate them with the enemy and rally around the flag.

    If the west cared to help they would keep their fucking mouths shut. Nothing good will come from this. People cheering this as democracy coming are removed from reality to say the least. To celebrate the shaw to boot is just ignorance.

      It’s spelled The New YorKKK War Crimeϟϟ because they’ve supported every imperialist war.  I remember them manufacturing consent toremoved Iraq.  They’ve never not been an imperialist rag.  May as well drop the pretense and change their name to Der Stürmer

        They have supported every war that is true, from the spanish american war on. They have always been partisan. Iraq though their editorials did call out lies, while articles did the classic fairness bias and reported on manufactured causes for war like they were credible.

        But they still broke stories, they still had guts to cross politicians where others would not. They lost that by 2025, like Reek in game of thrones. They have done nothing of note yet this term. Nothing good that is. Too busy accusimg the left of being anti salmon I guess.
