a “ceasefire” that lasted 17 hours and killed 254 people in lebanon is not a ceasefire and referring to it as one is inaccurate

meanwhile people can’t even remember what the last two presidents did or didn’t do for the country, so yeah… I wouldn’t bet on that kind of memory

Propaganda can be true, it just means disseminating ideas with a certain worldview. Propaganda can be a positive thing if the ideas and worldview are positive and true.

Extra note, Iran has about 90 million people. Religion: - ~90% Shia Muslims - ~5–8% Sunni Muslims - minorities: Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians Being the largest Shia-majority country shapes much of Iran’s regional politics.

Even if the Leader were removed, the regime wouldn’t simply collapse, power runs deep in a web of entrenched rulers. Many Iranians feel that, imperfect as the system is, foreign interference has caused far more harm than their own government, and the country’s problems are best solved from within.

Iran has: -elected institutions (president + parliament) -Supreme Leader with ultimate authority It’s often called a theocracy, where religious leaders hold major political power but...

In 1979 people finally said “enough.”. Mass protests overthrew the Shah. A revolution led by Ruhollah Khomeini replaced the monarchy with an Islamic Republic. Iran became a political system combining elections with strong religious authority.

After the coup, the Shah ruled for about 25 yrs. His regime was strongly aligned with the West and pursued rapid modernization, but it was also widely criticized for: -political repression -corruption -growing social inequality -strong Western influence inside the country Opposition slowly grew.

The US and UK feared losing economic influence and backed a coup. CIA and MI6 ran Operation Ajax, overthrew Mossadegh, and put the Shah (Mohammad Reza Pahlavi) back in power. Many Iranians saw this as democracy being stomped by foreign interests (nothing changed).

In 1953 Iran had a democratically elected prime minister: Mohammad Mossadegh. One of his main policies was nationalizing Iran’s oil industry, which had been largely controlled by the British company Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. For many Iranians, this meant economic independence.

lemonhousekid @santaprisca.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

In the 1950s, Iran had two centers of power: - the prime minister, chosen through parliament (closer to a democratic system) - the Shah, the monarch of Iran This fragile balance between elected government and monarchy would eventually collapse.

Every time Iran is in the news, it’s framed as “threat” or “rogue state.” If we want to really get why tensions exist, we got to go back 70+ years, not on the day the recent war started. 👇

Andor (and the whole Star Wars universe) is basic politics 101 for anyone who says they’re apolitical. just a reminder that occupation gets branded as “order,” and resistance as “terror.”

For me, it was super easy. I had to wait for verification the first time I signed up, but after that everything was smooth. I love how the app handles translations automatically, except the shop, but orher than that it is really straightforward.

The lesson was never for them. It was our homework assignment. We spent 20 years thinking "never again" was a policy shift. Turns out it was just the PR department taking a smoke break. They're back, the branding is refreshed, and the oil is still the syllabus.

it's not even boredom. more like the mechanical output of a system that rewards short-term extraction and shields its architects from any blowback. also the 'stupidity' is a feature for them and it keeps us arguing over their competence instead of their logic.

The silence on illegality is the coverage. When they don't call a war crime a war crime, that's them telling you who the law actually works for.

a fancy word for "I skipped the history chapter on all the other times we did this." the correct term is "traditional." They just hope we forgot the last dozen times.

Maduro could be a literal cartoon villain and it wouldn't matter. If we used his rule sheet to judge the former presidents, half of DC would be in an offshore black site. but funny how that standard only flies south

lemonhousekid @santaprisca.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

add to that the former 5+ presidents of the usa cause whatever maduro is judged for, the us leaders are 10x worse but that standard only flies south apparently

lemonhousekid @santaprisca.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

It's baffling because we're looking for strategy. This isn't strategy. It's a violent mood ring. They wanted to show they could snatch a president, consequences and a coherent plan be damned.

They're not demonstrating capability with Venezuela. They're manufacturing a perception of capability. The actual logistics of doing this to a major power are impossible. But if they can make Beijing or Tehran believe it's possible, they win without firing a shot. It's a bluff wrapped in a war crime

lemonhousekid @santaprisca.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

I mean they kidnapped Maduro not because he's corrupt; they do business with worse every day. Not because he's “authoritarian” - they arm them. They did it to prove they still can. To show that the "international community" is a list of addresses for delivery of ordnance and ultimatums.
