If you say anything negative about a country that hates the US you're automatically branded :cia: by certain users of this this website.

It’s not just “something negative” it’s an entirely made-up narrative, right at a crucial moment in geopolitics

This is trot behavior and reeks of chauvinism

And you're pushing CIA supplied crisis actors in Iran of all places. I'm a trot, I'm an anarcho-bidenist, I'm a chauvinist, but at least I'm not on some Alex Jones level conspiracy bullshit.

I'm usually those users lol, but Iran's protests just seem like the result of a conservative society with unaccountable cops, rather than the color revolution some are calling it

Yeah, the young woman who died was Kurdish, the protests started in Kurdistan, and the Kurds will happily revolt against the Ayatollah without any help from the CIA. Frankly, the hexbear line that any antipathy towards a regime unfriendly to the US must be due to outside influence is pretty dismissive of the agency of oppressed people.

Why aren’t you considering the lived experience of Miami Cubans and the Falun Gong? It’s pretty dismissive to the agency of oppressed people. You privileged white leftists should stop talking over POC :fedposting:

Everything that ever happened was done by the CiA, I am very smart.

[–] AssadCurse@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nope, but made up narratives that incite civil unrest in our enemies almost certainly involve CIA and US empire media perpetuating them

[–] Commander_Data@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes. A healthy 20 year old woman dies from COVID, a deep cover CIA asset bribes her family to say her body was bruised and manages to orchestrate near country wide protests is definitely the most likely scenario. You've cracked the code! Fucking CommAnon is real.

People die randomly from medical ailments all time, even young healthy people.

Then western aligned comprador media groups and NGOs all get ahold of the random death and start to weaponize it for their own agenda.

Western mainstream media picks it up and perpetuates it.

CIA calls in their favors with all their assets within Iran to start pushing discontent.

It’s not that complicated, it’s what happened in Hong Kong. You sound like a credulous liberal

[–] Commander_Data@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You sound like :alex-no-supplements:

[–] Mrtryfe@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Sounding like Alex Jones is when you consider American foreign policy since the turn of the 19th century

True there's a tendency to oversimplify overseas domestic conflict, and also that exact line, about the denying the agency of chosen dissenters has been specifically weaponized to give cover for regime change ops, most recently, to my recollection, in Bolivia and Cuba. You're still correct imo in this case

[–] AssadCurse@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

How are they correct in a case that’s literally made up? Video evidence shows she collapses due to a medical reason and there was no evidence of police brutality.
