Right, so the CIA ousted a pro-Soviet Iranian leader in, what, the 1950s? Not defending that, but it was a long time ago. At what point does the theocracy in charge of Iran bear responsibility for the current situation? Or will it always be America’s fault?
Comment on Instagram and Facebook delete the accounts of Iran’s supreme leader

Our CIA is to blame for sabotaging Iran’s government (by installing a dictator) which threatened our oil monopoly. Then a few decades later, we get to pretend that Iran did it to themselves.
The Middle East was an incredibly advanced and educated part of the world before our CIA and NATO allies intentionally installed dictators everywhere.

There is no statute of limitation on installing an oppressive regime in a foreign nation, CIA bootlicker.

The current oppressive regime in Iran wasn’t installed by the CIA.
Lol, are you serious about your “statute of limitations” claim? If so, I guess you think those damn Romans are responsible for Brexit. Is King George responsible for Trump, too? Get a grip, friend.

Everything bad that’s happening anywhere is the west’s fault, haven’t you been keeping up? /s
It’s pretty interesting when people denounce the west (which isn’t unfounded) but then give zero agency to anyone else.

Everywhere in the middle east? Where else?

Use your words. Where else in the middle east have we installed dictators? You said “everywhere” so I’d like some details and not just hyperbole…

Watch the video I linked. It’s actually, IMO, a conservative list (since much of our meddling is done in the shadows).
I’m not here online to do a book report for some MIC astroturfer (or perhaps amateur basement dwelling tech bro CIA bootlicker) who can’t use Wikipedia or google.

At least you didn’t just link Wikipedia for your argument.

Argument? What I wrote is an undisputed fact.

Seriously if Instagram and Facebook would also need to to delete the CIA’s account for this to make any sense but this is just about pissing on Iran to curry favor with other people.

Speak of the devil, here’s Netanyahu channeling the villain from Captain America: Winter Soldier in a now deleted tweet.

This is just textbook fascism.
It frustrates me that fascists like this can claim “this is the way of nature, the strong survive and the weak perish in competition” and no one challenges them. We are so primed to see everything through a fascist lens by neoliberalism because neoliberalism doesn’t provide any path forward but a broken, insufficient narrative.
Nature is full of cooperation, the interplay between fungi and trees for one is a dizzying network of relationships. In most ecosystems flourishing is a mutual process not a zero sum game, diversity begets stability, capacity to adapt and efficiency.
The ideology of fascists like Netanyahu will never lead a society to strength, because the point of adopting such a cruel and hateful ideology is a violent disinterest in understanding others, which is the precise opposite of an expression of strength.
