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

Real mature, smart and independent women do not support feminism anymore lol. Same with the private gays or whatever.

Move to Iran then

<:ohsargon:451135765368274954>

Fitz I mean

Why? There's some unnatural fucked up islamo-fascist morons in charge

You said you'd prefer that to feminism

🤷

The people that meant well and started the movements have been replaced by Marxists terrorists. Movements co opted. I'm sure you can make a compelling argument that they were meant to be from the very start and I would somewhat agree but still I'm talking about the individuals the righteously believed in a fair cause.

There's certainly more feminists in America than iran

Oh, so we're equating Islam to the Iranian state now? lol

No I only remember that state now because I can't keep track of all the shitholes around the world and their governments

Most govts are shitholes

True

Every gov is a piece of shit and for the most part illegitimate

If anything, I'm arguing that pre-CIA Iran is probably better than feminism
