    I am Iranian and the IRGC are terrorist occupiers. Educate yourself on how violent the regime is against their own people https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_executions_in_Iran and the recent women life freedom protests in Iran https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woman,_Life,_Freedom that led the IRGC to hang nearly 1500 people.

    The tweet author in the OP is a mouthpiece for the regime

    Additionally I was not saying the author is wrong in this instance, a broken clock is right twice a day, however giving the author publicity is what I take issue with.

      Calmly explaining how the Apache and Comanche tribes colonized the Mountain West until it was liberated by the anti-imperialist insurgency of General William Tecumseh Sherman

      Thanks, for the catch, bro. Around here, we only believe news from sources we can trust, like Voice of America and The Times of Israel.

          Sure. You can be a full on misanthrope. Just insist you hate everyone and pray for their collective grisly annihilation.

          That appears to be the beating heart of the modern MAGA movement.

      How are they occupiers when they’re at least as Iranian as you? Are they occupying themselves? And where is this 1,500 number coming from? Because it doesn’t seem to be coming from Wikipedia. The Western imperialist puppet regime installed after the CIA-led coup was no angel, either. Do want a repeat of that? Because they’ll come in and 1) take the oil and 2) set Iran up for a proxy war with Russia and/or China, just as they did with Ukraine.
