Instagram and Facebook delete the accounts of Iran’s supreme leader::Ayatollah Ali Khamenei supported Hamas’s 7 October attack on Israel, which Meta said violated its policies
Our CIA is to blame for sabotaging Iran’s government (by installing a dictator) which threatened our oil monopoly. Then a few decades later, we get to pretend that Iran did it to themselves.
The Middle East was an incredibly advanced and educated part of the world before our CIA and NATO allies intentionally installed dictators everywhere.

Seriously, Instagram and Facebook would also need to to delete the CIA’s account for this to make any sense (hating how extremist Iran is without acknowledging it was an explicit consequence of the CIA forcing regime change is just naive jingoism) but this is just about pissing on Iran to curry favor with other people.
I wonder if you took the comments of Iran’s evil leader and mixed them up with statements from conservative US politicians, removed obvious references to Christianity, Islam, and countries and then sat people down and tried to get them to guess who said what it would be pretty damn hard.
Speak of the devil, here’s Netanyahu channeling the villain from Captain America: Winter Soldier in a now deleted tweet.
The weak crumble, are slaughtered and are erased from history while the strong, for good or for ill, survive. The strong are respected, and alliances are made with the strong, and in the end peace is made with the strong.
This is just textbook fascism.
It frustrates me that fascists like this can claim “this is the way of nature, the strong survive and the weak perish in competition” and no one challenges them. We are so primed to see everything through a fascist lens by neoliberalism because neoliberalism doesn’t provide any path forward but a broken, insufficient narrative.
Nature is full of cooperation, the interplay between fungi and trees for one is a dizzying network of relationships. In most ecosystems flourishing is a mutual process not a zero sum game, diversity begets stability, capacity to adapt and efficiency.
The ideology of fascists like Netanyahu will never lead a society to strength, because the point of adopting such a cruel and hateful ideology is a violent disinterest in understanding others, which is the precise opposite of an expression of strength.
The ultimate strength is realizing what others are capable of that you could never accomplish yourself and developing a mutual relationship to gain access to those things, the type of “warriors” Netanyahu are talking about here are just sad, isolated people with very little power to do anything meaningful in this world but needlessly kill and maim, they are incapable of even beginning to understand the rich, dizzying tapestry of different kinds of genius that a functional society requires to thrive and grow. They are incapable of doing actual work to retain status in their community so they clumsily fumble at violence and fear to try to fill that void of uselessness.

Use your words. Where else in the middle east have we installed dictators? You said “everywhere” so I’d like some details and not just hyperbole…
Let me google that for you, lazy man.
-
Iran (1953) - The CIA, in a covert operation known as Operation Ajax, played a key role in the overthrow of Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh and the consolidation of power by Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. This was motivated by concerns over Mossadegh’s nationalization of the oil industry and potential Soviet influence.
-
Iraq (1963) - The U.S. is reported to have supported the Ba’ath Party’s coup against the government of General Abdul Karim Qasim, who had earlier taken power in a 1958 coup. The U.S. had concerns over Qasim’s communist ties and his stance on oil concessions.
-
Iraq (2003) - The U.S. led an invasion of Iraq under the pretext of eliminating weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) and ending Saddam Hussein’s rule. This resulted in the overthrow of Saddam Hussein’s government and a long period of military occupation and instability.
-
Afghanistan (2001) - Though not traditionally considered part of the Middle East but rather South Asia or Central Asia, the U.S. led an invasion to overthrow the Taliban regime in response to the September 11 attacks. The aim was to eliminate al-Qaeda’s base of operations and bring the Taliban’s rule to an end. We then held a sham election and installed our puppet.
-
Libya (2011) - While not a direct regime change, the U.S. participated in NATO-led military intervention in Libya during the civil war, which ultimately led to the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi’s government. We then held a sham election and installed our puppet.
-
Syria (Support to opposition groups since 2011) - The U.S. has provided various forms of support to opposition groups in Syria during the Syrian Civil War, aiming to pressure President Bashar al-Assad’s regime. However, this has not resulted in a direct regime change….yet!
Wikipedia has even more information…and that’s not even all of it.
If you’ve ever read “Confessions of an Economic Hitman” you’d know that this is the MO of our CIA which is nothing more than the bullies behind the World Bank. We are in the business of capturing countries in debt with the World Bank…and if they refuse to deal, we send in our CIA and install someone who will. We have puppet governments ALL OVER THE WORLD. In fact, there are probably fewer governments that aren’t under our control than are…as evidenced by how few nations came forward to call out the GENOCIDE happening in Palestine.
So not “everywhere,” and you call me lazy. Hyperbole taints your message.
Are you sure the US is not a puppet of Britain, or Israel? I mean you really can’t say exactly who’s pulling the strings.
And still, what does this have to do with Tucker and Putin?
Putin?!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You tech bro neoliberal genocide supporters are so programmed that you can’t even identify your enemies. I’m a leftist not a Trumper. 🤣.
It’s annoying when I get baited into writing a book report only to be gaslighted by absolute disingenuous trolling. Get bent, wage slave
Haha, my bad, got confused between threads. Honest mistake ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Right, so the CIA ousted a pro-Soviet Iranian leader in, what, the 1950s? Not defending that, but it was a long time ago. At what point does the theocracy in charge of Iran bear responsibility for the current situation? Or will it always be America’s fault?
There is no statute of limitation on installing an oppressive regime in a foreign nation, CIA bootlicker.
The current oppressive regime in Iran wasn’t installed by the CIA.
Lol, are you serious about your “statute of limitations” claim? If so, I guess you think those damn Romans are responsible for Brexit. Is King George responsible for Trump, too? Get a grip, friend.
Everything bad that’s happening anywhere is the west’s fault, haven’t you been keeping up? /s
It’s pretty interesting when people denounce the west (which isn’t unfounded) but then give zero agency to anyone else.
At least you didn’t just link Wikipedia for your argument.
Argument? What I wrote is an undisputed fact.
Wow great video thanks
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Meta has removed Instagram and Facebook accounts run on behalf of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, following criticism over his support for Hamas after the group’s 7 October attack on Israel that sparked the months-long war still raging in the Gaza Strip, the company confirmed on Friday.
Pressure has been growing on online platforms to remove Khamenei in recent years, particularly after the mass protests that followed the 2022 death of Mahsa Amini after her arrest allegedly over how she wore the mandated headscarf in Iran.
Iran began blocking Instagram and Meta’s WhatsApp messaging service after the protests over Amini’s death.
Since then, Israel’s war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip has killed more than 27,000 Palestinians and sparked tensions across the wider Middle East.
Iranian-backed militias such as Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Yemen’s Houthi rebels have launched attacks against Israel in the time since.
Khamenei and his vast patronage network inside Iran have long been targeted by US sanctions – Khamenei himself since 2019 by the administration of then president Donald Trump as tensions began to spiral in the Middle East over Trump unilaterally withdrawing the US from Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers.

It’s ok as long as they’re not genocidal Zionists.
They should use nostr. Good luck removing them then. Even the fediverse would not work in this case.
Screw this guy, but what’s baffling is that Meta didn’t do the same to Netanyahu. I guess genocide doesn’t violate their policies.
maybe they just got their conversations mixed up. happens to the best of us. by which, i mean it happens to me, and i’m obviously The Best ™.
