I don't know every single atrocity that's ever happened. But I do know what America has done and I don't appreciate people dismissing their actions.

Iranian Woman Brain Dead After Arrest By Morality Police Over Hijab Rules (rferl.org)

lmao i'm sorry to be the one to tell you this but the us isn't cracking down on iran to save the gays 

Anyone here listen to Cocteau Twins?

it's fine, i got the impression from the comparison. SA protects american (and by proxy, israeli) interests in the region, an alliance is natural for the time being. and my enemy's enemy is my friend.

My point is it is not your place to tell Iranians what they want. I would take regime change (and btw, I said "influence", not "American lead") over what is currently happening in the country I so wish I could proudly have lived in. 
 
I am not suggesting that American soldiers helicopter in and hand out guns, but even just a bit of economic pressure and media scrutiny from the West could create a ripple effect that finally allows one of the many protests in the last 5 years to really take off. When was the last time a story like this was even mentioned in a visible way in Western news? That is a large part of the problem, you have to go searching for these stories. There is not enough pressure put on the govt from outside sources to rile up the protest inside Iran (which there were during the lead up to the 1979 revolution, with some ridiculous and false narratives that the Shah had his food flown in from Paris via Concorde and that the Empress bathed in milk).
 
I'm also keenly aware that without a Pro-American Regime in Iran, the alternative is a Pro-China and Pro-Russia regime which would be disastrous for the Iranian people and the world. Yes the overthrow of Mossadegh was a mistake and the beginning of the end for Iran, but it would be foolish to think that The Shah's government would be worse than the current one.

this is like saying rap albums do not count as real albums because it is not singing. spoken word is just another genre. plenty of older artists have spoken word poetry albums too. i do not see the issue with counting it amongst her other albums even if you do not personally like the genre.
