  • This comment thread is literally on an article about people in Iran rallying to his call for a mass demonstration. Read the room.

    Are you in Iran right now, participating in their protests? Cause if not, you have no right to tell them who they should or shouldn’t follow. That’s your own unexamined colonizer mindset showing.

    “The lack of a viable alternative has undermined past protests in Iran,” wrote Nate Swanson of the Washington-based Atlantic Council, who studies Iran.

    “There may be a thousand Iranian dissident activists who, given a chance, could emerge as respected statesmen, as labor leader Lech Wałęsa did in Poland at the end of the Cold War. But so far, the Iranian security apparatus has arrested, persecuted and exiled all of the country’s potential transformational leaders.”

    Keep waiting for your perfect leader, but the Iranian people are moving on without you.
