- ifwinterco 7mo agoExactly, I have a hard time seeing how that will ever play out how they want. The whole reason the 1979 revolution happened in the first place was because the Shah was a blatant US/Israeli puppet
- reliabilityguy 7mo agoYou've missed the part where islamist butchered the leaders of the actual 1979 revolution. In reality it was: unpopular shah -> 1979 revolution -> islamists take control, prison and kill the leftists of 1979 revolution.
- ifwinterco 7mo agoThat is true but that’s often how these things go, you pull together a coalition of factions to overthrow the existing elites and then afterwards it devolves into infighting
- violentapricot 7mo agoIt worked with Machado, so why wouldn't it work with... oh wait. We're governed by a shadowy criminal network of idiots.
- reliabilityguy 7mo ago> who is generally hated by Iranians in power. So that’s why said Iranians chant Javid Shah?
- swat535 7mo agoIranian here, the Shah has surprisingly many supporters, both inside and abroad. Iran is a big complex country and is more diverse than people think.
- thomassmith65 7mo agoWhen someone from the ME comments on a story about the ME, it is customary on HN for the community to downvote them into oblivion.
- AlexeyBelov 7mo agoThey are not downvoted into oblivion as far as I can see. Why do you say it's customary?
- thomassmith65 7mo agoWhen I left the reply, the comment was light gray. I quipped that it is 'customary' based only on a few previous instances I noticed on HN. They drew my attention because with ME issues, I feel like most takes here (including my own) are based on received ideas, rather than first-hand experience.
