I don't know what your problem is with English comprehension, but I haven't been debating morals.

But if I were to ask, what was the British moral superiority in overthrowing a democratic leader who intended to nationalise oil for the benefit of the people?
So BP could keep on stealing it.

"The US+UK MAY hold SOME responsibility for contributing to conditions that enabled Iran's authoritarianism. "

It's a simple historical fact.

"Everything is the West's fault"

I have already corrected you on this.

Try scrolling back and reading again.

Perhaps you should consider a debating style where you use facts and don't change the goalposts every time you fail to make a point.

"Ridiculous logic."

No, actions have consequences, and the coup to replace a democracy with a monarchist dictatorship paved the way for the revolution.

"It has been almost uniquely free from Western influence"

Sure it has:

I only know of two Yes/No referendums, and they have both been complete disasters.

UK (2016) Should we remain in the EU? Yes/No.

Iran(1979) Should Iran be ruled by Islamic law? Yes/No.

I thought he was attacking Iran for doing all those things.

"It is not the West's fault that Iran is a repressive hellhole, or that the regime has murdered thousands of its own people"
Yes, it is.
But why do you keep saying *The West* when its is the US/UK?

"It's not just economic "

You seem to have some difficulty in comprehending English.
I clearly stated that the beginning of the protests were economic and then widened

'West bad'
Too Iranians, the US is indeed bad. It instigated the 1953 coup and assisted Saddam in killing thousands of Iranians
January 31, 2026 at 2:11 PM
The protests started as purely economic when the traders in Tehran's bazaars refused to open up and protested against soaring inflation.
That they grew into larger protests against the regime isn't in doubt.
What's also not in doubt is that this was the US waging economic warfare.

Says the person who clearly hasn't read anything and just makes stuff up.

Monarchy is a lost cause.

And with advocates like you, it's easy to see why.
January 31, 2026 at 12:12 PM
" Iranians advocates FOR sanctions" <---- This is fiction.

Honestly, you monarchists are just as bad as religious zealots in your relationship with the truth.
January 31, 2026 at 11:56 AM
Gosh, so it's bullshit that the Iranians had been seeking ways to undermine the regime for decades?

It's bullshit that the US helped Iraq slaughter Iranians?

It's bullshit that US sanctions were deliberate economic warfare to instigate regime change?

2/2

Americans," I wonder why they hate us?"

Because America might have forgotten what they did, but the Iranians haven't.

"You’re carrying water for western hatred"

I'm not, but I can explain it
From an Iranian in Iran, last week---->

"Iran"

What would you have people do?
The protests in Iran were instigated by the West ( esp the USA) as economic warfare to create a demand for regime change.
January 31, 2026 at 11:11 AM
You keep repeating historical fiction.

You are beyond stupid.

" Islam copied from Christianity, both were abusive towards Jews"
Nonsense.
Only Christians have attacked Jews.
In Islam, "People of the Book" (Ahl al-Kitab)
refers to religious groups, primarily Jews and Christians, who follow divine scriptures (Torah, Gospels) revealed before the Quran.
January 30, 2026 at 10:18 PM
Nice attempt to distract from you posting Christian anti-semetic tropes.
January 30, 2026 at 9:08 PM
Gosh, where did I post this hatred?

Michelle"At some points, Muslims did welcome Jews. Because they knew Jews were good at business" <----

This is a Christian anti-semitic trope that dates from the time when Christians and Muslims forbade usury & relied on Jews to lend money with interest.
January 30, 2026 at 8:28 PM
You are simply writing fiction.
January 30, 2026 at 8:10 PM
"Trying to falsify or erase Jewish history is a mental illness"

Then why are you doing it?

PS, the Philistines aren't Greeks. Philistine is simply another name for Palestine

"Keep grabbing at straws. "

Thats a funny way to describe me, quoting what it says in Deuteronomy.

"In Deuteronomy 20:16–17, God commanded the Israelites," Completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites
