An Iranian man left this comment on my YouTube channel. This is without a doubt the single best explanation of the reality facing Iranian people today👇

"As an Iranian, I can tell you the situation is no longer just political—it's existential. We are trapped between two collapsing structures: one internal, one external. On one hand, we face a deeply dysfunctional government, led by the Supreme Leader and the Islamic Republic’s unelected institutions.

Decades of economic mismanagement, suppression of dissent, and brutal ideological control have alienated multiple generations. No one believes in reform anymore—because every attempt has either been co-opted or crushed. But here's the paradox: We are also terrified of regime collapse—because we've watched the aftermath of Western intervention in countries like Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan. Each was promised freedom; each descended into chaos, civil war, or foreign occupation.

So no, we don't trust the U.S. or Israel. Not because we support our regime—but because we know how imperial powers treat ‘liberated’ nations in the Middle East.

Freedom, in their language, often means vacuum, fire, and permanent instability. Right now, many Iranians live with three truths at once: The Islamic Republic is morally and politically bankrupt. The alternatives offered by foreign actors are not liberation—they’re collapse.

A bad government is survivable. No government is not. We are not silent because we agree. We are cautious because we’ve learned—too well—what happens when superpowers decide to "help." In a sentence: Iran is a nation held hostage by its own regime, but haunted by the fate of its neighbors. We are stuck in a house we hate, surrounded by fires we fear more."

Breaking Away (1979) is one of those small miracles that never gets talked about enough. A coming-of-age film with real heart, sharp writing, and a cast that feels completely lived-in. It’s funny, touching, and quietly profound.

They aren't going to lower the flags in this country for the 3 police officers from my local PD who were gunned down by a 24 year old with an AR.

These dudes were actual heroes, since it seems like people have forgotten what actual heroism looks like

Hanson represents the calcification of public thought - an ossified relic of white anxiety, preserved and paraded like a national artefact long past its relevance.

She is what happens when grievance becomes a lifestyle, and ignorance becomes a brand.

Apparently we had to have a referendum for ‘The Voice’, where Indigenous Australian’s endured months of racist shit, but zionists just get appointed a voice, and we have to endure threats to cut government funding to Uni’s and the ABC 🤷‍♂️

MEDIA RELEASE: Jewish Council Rejects Special Envoy’s antisemitism plan

The Jewish Council of Australia has today warned that the newly released Special Envoy’s Plan to Combat Antisemitism risks undermining Australia’s democratic freedoms, inflaming community divisions, and entrenching selective approaches to racism that serve political agendas.

The report is riddled with misinformation and claims about nefarious funding sources for protests and universities that verge on conspiracy theory.

The Council is especially concerned about the plan’s strong endorsement of the widely discredited IHRA definition of antisemitism, which has been used to silence legitimate criticism of Israel and Zionism.

The Council criticised the plan's emphasis on surveillance, censorship, and punitive control over the funding of cultural and educational institutions: measures straight out of Trump’s authoritarian playbook. We caution that some of the recommendations — including visa powers and judicial inquiries into student activity — risk censoring criticism of Israel, deepening racism, and failing to meaningfully address the root causes of antisemitism.

The Council is calling on the government to:

Ground its response in anti-racist principles that include tackling Islamophobia, anti-Palestinian racism, racism against First Nations people and all other forms of racism;

Engage a broad spectrum of Jewish voices, including those critical of Israel, who have not been consulted in the development of this plan;

Reject authoritarian proposals that erode civil liberties under the false guise of Jewish safety.

Dr Max Kaiser, Executive Officer, Jewish Council of Australia:

“This document reads more like a blueprint for silencing dissent rather than a strategy to build inclusion. The report’s vague language around ‘antisemitic narratives’ or ‘affiliations’ , coupled with its emphasis on the discredited IHRA definition of antisemitism, make the actions recommended dangerously unclear. Consistent with her past statements erroneously linking antisemitic attacks with Palestine solidarity protests, Segal seems fixated on driving a pro-Israel narrative and repressing legitimate criticism of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Antisemitism is real and must be taken seriously. But it does not exist in a vacuum. Any response that treats antisemitism as exceptional, while ignoring Islamophobia, anti-Palestinian racism, and other forms of hate, is doomed to fail.”

Your dad had sex with a porn star two months after your little brother was born to your second step-mom. He has talked in public many times about dating your sister. He was a close friend of Jeffrey Epstein.

He had sex with your first step-mom and bragged about it in public while still married to your mom.

Maybe the Nobel Prize Committee doesn’t want to associate itself with Jerry Springer level white trash.
