I don’t criticize Iran because I do not want to feed into an imperial war propaganda campaign for a horrific agenda that I do not support. I want to focus my criticisms on the power structure under which I actually live, because that is what one does when one is not a groveling bootlicker, and because the power structure under which I live happens to be the most abusive tyrant on the world stage.



That’s the same reason. The “pro-monarchy insurrection” isn’t organic. It’s another facet of the imperialist hybrid war to vassalize Iran.
True, but saying “Why on earth would I support monarchism?”
is a lot quicker than six paragraphs about the workings of the US empire.
