So I was reading user comments beneath articles on this year's riots in Iran, at the website of a dissident political movement of a European country.
Here are some interesting ones I selected to translate and share. The level of awareness of this website's readers proves relatively high in comparison. If only these views were representative of the western public as a whole.
Considering the suffocating, meticulous system of media propaganda, brainwashing and social engineering implemented by oppressive western regimes in accordance with the fundamental fallacy of their liberal ideology, we're not quite there yet. Although the proportion of citizens who no longer believe in the state-sponsored narratives is doubtlessly higher than what those mainstream media and the internet would have you believe, with popular anger against NATO regimes simmering beneath the surface.
Iranians back home are invited to pay particular attention, as these comments tend to shatter numerous delusions about life in Iran versus life in the west, generated by the constant stream of western and zionist propaganda Iranians are exposed to.
Comment 1
"Met a nice Iranian in her thirties, librarian in my French city, dressing European-style, without a veil. She confided to me that after all, she's envying her sister who staid in Iran despite the mandatory veil, for the latter founded a family with children already! Whereas my Iranian here hasn't made lasting encounters since university and is ending up alone!"
Verdict: Gold!
Comment 2 (Responding to another user who took aim at Islamic laws in Iran)
"@... you, you can bear well living in a degenerate society where mass divorce is king, where the family is destroyed, where there's no longer anything sacred anywhere and where children are encouraged to change sex before age ten.
If this is what you wish for Iran you don't belong here, you came to the wrong site."
Verdict: Gold!
Comment 3
"In Iran celebrities are openly calling for riots without getting troubled by the government, which has turned soft and is corrupted. In China they would get hanged, in France they'd lose their jobs. In Iran there's anarchy, moronic oppositionists have become enraged. Therefore when they arrest people down there, they DON'T DO IT WITHOUT A REASON."
Verdict: The current Iranian administration as opposed to its predecessor is not corrupt, and some show-business figures were finally arrested weeks after this comment was posted (although they'll probably be freed soon). Hats off to the comrade nonetheless for their adequate perception of the comparatively great levels of tolerance displayed by Iranian law enforcement and judiciary for quite some time in the face of brutal rioter violence. On that aspect, the comment's simply brilliant.
Comment 4
"True but problem is that in case of a downfall of the regime, Iranian institutions will automatically fall under the American yoke. So the question is, which dictatorship do you want?"
Verdict: Our friend has yet to learn that the Islamic Republic is a democracy. Moreover, Iran is actually guaranteed to get balkanized and dismantled if the IR were to fall. Thumbs up however for their accurate understanding of USA imperialism, namely the fact that the zio-American empire would not let such an opportunity slip and would fully interfere in Iranian affairs, much to the detriment of the Iranian people.
Comment 5
""In a besieged fortress, any dissidence is treason."
Fidel Castro."
Verdict: Gold!
Comment 6
"Why do some here want the same thing which happened to the West, to happen to Iran?
Those who've read René Guénon know that no worldly power can truly last without obedience to a spiritual authority.
When the worldly power rebels against the spiritual authority, the clergy will fall as with the French Revolution, and there'll be a plunge into the "frozen waters of the egoistic calculus".
Iran must stand her ground: because she's one of the last traditional countries alive, with a legitimate clergy; because she is the main axis of anti-zionist resistance in the Middle East; because she is preserving spirituality in an era where materialism reigns supreme, because she is one of our last hopes in this Kali-Yuga!"
Verdict: in Iran's case, it's not the worldly power that has caused disturbance but a misled group of citizens conditioned and manipulated by existential foreign enemies, but it's just as evident that the above comment is worth no less than Gold! Kudos to our friend's clairvoyance.
