I’m Persian, from Iran. I don’t give a fuck why those yank butchers signed up to go murder my family. They already killed my moms side in Iraq now they’re going to go kill my dad’s side. Fuck them and I hope they burn in hell. I wish they would skip to the part where they shoot themselves drunk and spare my family that remains in Iran.
Frankly, yea you’re right. Our military is absolutely brutally evil. And the reason they were there was to make the rich richer. Frankly when Americans sign up for the military, they should choose a branch and an oil company to serve as well.
I can’t really convince you of anything else, other than know that most everyone I talk to knows we have more in common with you halfway around the world than either of us do with the people who send the military to kill. We don’t hate you, and I’m so sorry what they did to you.
On this side of the world, keeping our class divided will only perpetuate this cycle. War is as profitable an industry as healthcare, so why expect peace or cures if the people in charge are only in it for their own gain?
I’m so sorry for what this horrible country did. No one deserves that fate. But one day hatchets between comrades need to be buried and replaced with guillotines for kings.
I hear you, it’s heartbreaking how power and profit drive so much suffering. The real connections between people are far stronger than the systems that divide us.👌
Small story time because I realize the Neo-Futurists don’t seem to record their show and this should be in writing somewhere.
Context: The Neo-Futurists are an experimental theater company based in Chicago but have spread internationally. They have a show where they do 30 scripts in an hour, so each “play” is like… 2 or 3 minutes.
When I went they had one play called “How to Kill a King”
The lights went dark. Then the projector turned on and said “put your phone and wallet into the bucket”. The cast came out holding buckets, and everyone did just that, including me. Then the cast left the theater with the buckets.
Then the projector said:
“Your possessions will be waiting for you in the lobby after the show”
“Trust that you will have your wallet and phone back at the end of the show”
“Trust that the people around you won’t steal your wallet and phone”
“Trust that the people around you have your best interest in mind, and don’t wish you any harm”
“That is how you Kill a King”
And sure enough when we left, everyones stuff was splayed out on some tables and everyone got their stuff back.
Iran is a horrifying dictatorship that deserves nothing less to be taken out with force. The only travesty is that American, on our own path of dictatorship and horrifying capitalism is the one who might do it.

As an Iranian, I agree. Oh, poor baby needs to pay for college, so my dad needs to die? Disgusting ghouls.
But it is Iranians in North America urging Trump to invade.
350,000 chanting “King Reza Pahlavi”, they want to restore the monarchy and bring back the elite class.

To be replaced by King Reza Pahlavi, another dictator.
That’s why I think it’s horrifying that the usa is the one invading, yes
