And like I said before, most of them especially the foot soldiers who kill people randomly in the streets aren't even Iranian.

Troops from Syria, Lebanon

based

i mean that sucks i bet you guys wish you had freedom democracy and feminism

Feminism probably caused the reactionary backlash that led to the revolution

what?

that wouldn't surprise me actually

I SAID FEMINISM PROBABLY CAUSED A REACTIONARY BACKLASH

kek

I mean obv yeah the Islamists weren't so happy about that lmao

I think it was something other than feminism...

wow islamic people displeased by feminism? shocking

It was part of it. Fueled the Islamists' cause even more.

lol how can it NOT be feminism?

Rock music, feminism, THE HIPPIE ROAD

Islam was the biggest reason, CIA's fuck ups on the ground and Shah's own shortcoming being other factors.

obviously increasing authoritarianism, corruption and the extravagance of the royal family didn't count, not to mention that the stat was pretty much a puppet to the US and the British, selling its oil at very low prices

saying Islam is the reason for the revolution, is like saying "America" is the reason for US politics

Not to mention the extremely hostile and unpopular secret police

But I mean anyone with a functioning brain would take the side of Hippies and Shah over the Islamist terrorists but oh well the people weren't so bright back then

@Capitán Alatriste I'm talking about the 1979 revolution

yes

the Islamic revolution

Now they're paying the ultimate price

They are objectively better what can I say. Even if you hate the libtards.

Where the country was liberal, but then it went hard core traditional authoritarian.

So.... feminism and liberalism caused the revolution

You are using the lenses of hindsight. For the people at the time, they demanded change, and the only ones that were offering change were the Islamists

okay?

The change they offered was worse. Even at the time. The smart people saw through their lies.

The Islamists weren't the only ones offering solutions. That's bullshit.

smh, overthrowing a legitimate monarch in favor of 'social justie'

Islam is poisonous

Better than feminism

Noooope

k

I don't mean current day feminism

It's all the same shit

People lie to themselves if the think there's a difference.

The intent, and the motives are the same
