I dunno man there doesn’t seem to be the conditions for a self actualising revolution atm and isreal and the usa are undoubtably interfering. I mean the shah prince? the lion and sun flag? really?
Don’t get me wrong, braindead monarchists exist in iran and the diaspora in the same approximate proportion as every where stained by that transgression but this doesn’t seem like it’s going to lead to a government that cares for the people.
I hope I’m wrong but I am distinctly lukewarm on this. The current gov has been pretty effective at preventing organising and using misogyny as a wedge to divide the people.
Yes, it’s very likely there’s strong interference, but I also think that people put entirely too much faith on a rapidly collapsing empire like the USA and entirely too little faith on the people doing shit. I hope their revolution succeeds and then they turn their gifted arms against their wannabe manipulators and do their own thing. It wouldn’t be be the first or last time US interference has spectacularly backfired on them.
What I will say is that the only ones at fault for the revolution, as the corrupt theocrats at the top which have been so spectacularly bad at governing (and being decent human beings), they caused this.
At the end of the day, what some internet randos say on an obscure forum matters not at all. It’s just an excuse for more purity testing of allies.
I am not very hopeful personally, and my own opinions are largely relegated to shitting on people who think a king will solve problems and don’t know shit about why the theocracy was seen as a better alternative.
This is a huge tangent and a bit niche, but this guy kinda reminds me of the UK comic character Rupert Bear. Bit like Paddington, but never became as popular.
This guy was once telling the story of how he came across someone who was dressed almost exactly like Rupert Bear, so the guy thinks he’s doing cosplay and compliments him on the Rupert Bear costume. Except the other guy isn’t dressed up as Rupert Bear, he’s just very posh and dressed like a twat.
So he does not take the compliment kindly. At. All. LOL
Even if that’s what’s going on in Iran, no, it is in fact a revolution if one top is overthrowing another top as long as there’s enough non-top participation, which there is in Iran. What you’re thinking of is social revolution, which is a subcategory of revolution.
Another day, another regime change supported by “progressives”.
And another revolution opposed by “revolutionaries”

Yeah fair.

I mean, we do say “No Gods, No Masters” for a reason. :D Fuck the Theocrats and fuck the Monarchists.
Just following up re interesting reporting from Al Jazeera today maybe explaining some of the weird monarchist propaganda that has been spreading on socials: https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2026/1/15/network-linked-to-israel-pushes-to-shape-external-iran-protest-narrative
Revolutions start from the bottom and dismantle the top. It’s not a revolution if one top is overthrowing another top…
And thus I refer you back to the original meme.
I got a better one for ya

By this logic every US election is a revolution 🤣
how many bottoms have to participate to ensure enough non-top participation?
I mean, you have massive protests all over Iran. I’d say that’s enough.
Nope that’s still not a revolution, that is just regime change.
