The hypocrisy of the luvvies over Iran is sickening

[excalibur]

We all see it.

The silence is deafening.

Where are the luvvies when you need them? Where is their outrage, their fury, their passion as thousands of freedom-loving Iranians, sons and daughters, are being massacred by millenarian Islamist theocrats?

Many Leftist entertainers, personalities and activists spent years occupying our streets, flooding social media, denouncing Israel’s just war of self-defence in Gaza as “genocide”, and yet now, when actual crimes against humanity are being committed in Iran, their near-silence is deafening. Every horror they claimed, falsely, Israel was inflicting upon Palestinians, the Iranian regime is actually meting out to its own people: protesters are being shot in the back of the head or machine-gunned in the streets, hospital rooms are being broken into, young people summarily executed, dissidents tortured.

It is pure, unadulterated evil, an obscene moment in history, a stain on humanity. So where are the chants of “from the Gulf to the Caspian Sea, Iran will be free”? Where is Greta Thunberg’s flotilla? Why isn’t Bob Vylan firing up the crowds against the Ayatollahs? Where are the pins, the Shir o Khorshid emblems, the pictures of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, the emojis, the student protestors, the sit-ins, the storming of lectures, the mass demonstrations taking over central London?

The hypocrisy is sickening, the double standards despicable. The luvvies don’t really care about Iran, just as they are largely unbothered by deaths in Sudan, the persecution of the Uyghurs and the pogroms of October 7. They are more interested in demonising Israel and the West than in saving innocent lives.

The human rights lawyers, the ICC, the ICJ and all the other acronyms have proved equally useless, and we are still waiting for the UN resolutions and investigations. Three months ago, the UN Human Rights Council elected an Iranian regime diplomat to its advisory committee, an Orwellian parody if ever there was one. Tom Fletcher, the UN under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs, falsely claimed last year that “14,000 babies” were facing starvation within 48 hours in Gaza, fuelling much anti-Israel hatred. As of Wednesday evening, his X feed has so far made no mention of the horrendously real Iranian massacre.

Have any on the left come out in support of the Iranian regime? We support protestors in many places, Russia and Minneapolis. for example.

I'm just curious what you think these "luvvies" are supposed to be doing, exactly>

We already have Iran under every kind of sanction there is for picking a form of government we don't like.

The thing is, the demonstrations are winding down, because everyone realizes they don't have a "and then what" for after the Ayatollahs are gone.

Why would anyone wear a pin of Reza Pahlavi? His idiotic family largely caused this mess.

At the end of the day, we've been trying to overthrow the Mullahs for 45 years... how's that going?

The Shah ushered in the White Revolution, and the mullahs hated that. Iran was a fine nation under the late Shah. But Soviet meddling caused many problems, along with radical Mohammedanism.

The White Revolution (1963-1979) was Iran's Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's aggressive, bloodless program to modernize Iran through sweeping reforms, including land reform, women's suffrage, literacy corps, and industrialization, aiming to weaken traditional power structures, boost the economy, and counter leftist influence, but uneven benefits and social disruption ultimately fueled opposition leading to the 1979 Islamic Revolution. ​

What were they doing when Israel was duking out with Hamas and Hezbollah?

Okay, but that isn't what most Iranians wanted, was it?

He also suppressed all political parties that didn't lick his boots and set the SAAVIK secret police to 'disappear' people.

You guys whine about what a bunch of meanyheads the Mullahs are, but the reality is, the Shah eliminated any secular oppossition, and the Clergy were the only people who could fill in the gap.

What were they doing when Israel was duking out with Hamas and Hezbollah?

Pointing out that an apartheid, colonial state committing genocide against the indigenous people was wrong.

You see, here's the thing. It looks like this "revolution" is already over. People have gone back to their homes, maybe 1200 were killed in street clashes. Because at the end of the day, Iranians fear chaos more than they hate the Ayatollahs.

MEANWHILE, the Zionist Entity has been killing and murdering its way through Gaza for 2=1/2 years now, have conservatively killed 72,000 Palestinians (most of them women and children).

This is what the "Luvvies" (whoever they are) are protesting.

Now, there are a lot of countries with shitty governments, including our own starting this year. That's really not the issue here. The issue is the inherent racism and genocide implicit in Zionism.
