I’m Iranian and I have noticed lots of these paki accounts posting lies about Iran. We do not like Islam and yes 90% of us do not consider ourselves Muslims."

    I go to Iran 4 times a year

    Since they say Iran and IR are separate entities, I’m guessing they mean they visit the home of their Shah-loving parents 4 times a year.

    I’m not completely sure this is a real person however. A lot of anti-Iranian accounts are bots. Anti-Iran hashtags trend at weird times, with young acounts all posting the same tweets. And I’ve witnessed this myself multiple times

      Iran was not so long ago target of the biggest twitter propaganda offensive in history of the platform, new bot accounts shitted 300 million tweets.

      And, boy, do we have some highly ‘‘skilled’’ contenders in the Gusanery Awards! A veritable international competition on who bends their knees the lowest, who licks boots the cleanest, who sells out for the lowest amount, who self-hates the deepest, whose dignity is the basest, who claims to have lost the biggest farm, whose grandpa lost the largest monopoly, who owned the most slaves, who comes up with flag pairings that baffle the soul, whose buffoonery was the cringest?!

      Will it be the bobaliberals with their self-deprecation towards the West? The all-time classics, the gusanos? The bolsominions who rode in front of trucks, cried like babies and threw tantrums all over Brasil? The pititas whose lives improved under Evo Morales, became ‘‘middle class’’ and started hating the MAS that brought them there? Or will it be one of my personal favorites, the escuálidos, whom follow the ‘‘President of a Thousand Faces’’, yes, the legendary Juan Guaidó, whom went on to fill the presidencies of various countries under such pseudonyms as John Whitedough, Jin Guraido, Jun Guaidosuke, John Guaidington, Ivan Guaidonov, Jean Guaideaux, and many others! Stay tuned for this year’s Gusanery Awards!

        Lmao. Underrated comment. I don’t know what the rules are here but this should be a post/ pinned thread/ competition like employee of the month.

    One of the favorites of astroturfing. “As a member of X group so that you view my take as legitimate and representative even though I have provided no evidence I am even loosely related to said group, here is my take that materially undermines said group and throws it under the bus. Also, pay no attention to the casual implication that the group I allegedly belong to is a monolith I can whimsically speak for, which is the way someone who doesn’t respect the group would talk about it.”

      Don’t forget that the group they speak for is quantumally entangled to an extent that speak for all of them globally, regardless of distance. We can observe this fascinating phenomenon with Uyghurs overseas who have never lived in China but are 100% confident about a genocide happening, Chinese diaspora who are absolutely positive that everyone in China secretly hates the government, or overseas Russians desperate for liberal validation.

      Ethnically Iranian? Absolutely the authority on all iranian issues worldwide!

    If 90% of pro-western simps in Iran do not consider themselves Muslims and 99.4% of Iranians are Muslim, then would mean only about 0.55% of Iranians are pro-west at max.
