@JayInslee Share something relevant to our moment. Jan 6th, really? How about strategy for families going forward. Be the man, not the Schmuck!

@ItsDecado Bro, don’t listen to stupid Main Stream Media induced sycophant’s. Stay safe and be ready. Your moment is near. Trump is the only guy with balls to free you.

[Steve Novotny @SteveNovotny]

@burrytracker @KobeissiLetter I agree with you. A place for Mavericks move together.

[Steve Novotny @SteveNovotny]

A really good assessment of Iran and its current status. The main stream media out of intense prejudice toward Trump muddy the message of current status an end game purpose. What a disservice to America.

An Al Jazeera opinion piece on the American and Israel attacks on Iran — and how hugely successful and organized they have been — is somehow better analyzed than any American media piece I’ve read on Iran. Seriously, read it: https://t.co/WSEV7bosMa

Update: didn't realize my parent-teacher conference went viral

Until the teacher called my wife saying she saw it

My wife asked why strangers on the internet care about our life

I said "I don't know. I just write down what happens."

She said "that's the problem"

She's probably right

A follow-up conference has been scheduled

This time she requested my wife come alone

I was not invited

First time I've ever been excluded from a meeting I didn't want to attend

It stung more than I expected

But I have my wife's calendar synced to my phone

Will I attend anyway?

Of course

Plz fix. Thx.

Soon… let the old Iran rise.

Have you considered this…

[Steve Novotny @SteveNovotny]

A great explanation. Pray for the people of Iran.

[Tahmineh Dehbozorgi @DeTahmineh]

The Western liberal media is ignoring the Iranian uprising because explaining it would force an admission it is desperate to avoid: the Iranian people are rebelling against Islam itself, and that fact shatters the moral framework through which these institutions understand the world.

Ideally, to cover an uprising is not just to show crowds and slogans. It requires answering a basic question: why are people risking death? In Iran, the answer is simple and unavoidable. The people are rising up because the Islamic Republic of Iran has spent decades suffocating every aspect of life—speech, work, family, art, women, and economic survival—under a clerical system that treats liberty as a crime. There is no way to tell that story without confronting the nature of the regime.

Western media refuses to do so because it has fundamentally misunderstood Islam. Or worse, it has chosen not to understand it.

Islam, in Western progressive discourse, has been racialized. It is treated not as a belief system or a political ideology, but as a stand-in for race or ethnicity. Criticizing Islam is framed as an attack on “brown people,” Arabs, or “the Middle East,” as if Islam were a skin color rather than a doctrine.

This confusion is rooted in historical illiteracy. Western liberal media routinely collapses entire civilizations into a single stereotype: “all Middle Easterners are Arabs,” “all Arabs are Muslim,” and “all Muslims are a monolithic, oppressed identity group by white European colonizers.” Iranians disappear entirely in this framework. Their language, history, and culture—Persian, not Arab; ancient, not colonial; distinct, not interchangeable—are erased.

By treating Islam as a racial identity rather than an ideology, Western media strips millions of people of their ability to reject it. Iranian protesters become unintelligible. Their rebellion cannot be processed without breaking the rule that Islam must not be criticized. So instead of listening to Iranians, the media speaks over them—or ignores them entirely.

There is another reason the Iranian uprising is so threatening to Western media is economic issues.

As you know, Iran is not only a religious dictatorship. It is a centrally controlled, state-dominated economy where markets are strangled, private enterprise is criminalized or co-opted, and economic survival depends on proximity to political power. Decades of price controls, subsidies, nationalization, and bureaucratic micromanagement have obliterated the middle class and entrenched corruption as the only functional system. The result is not equality or justice. It is poverty, stagnation, and dependence on government’s dark void of empty promises.

Covering Iran honestly would require acknowledging that these policies are harmful. They have been tried. They have failed. Catastrophically.

This is deeply inconvenient for Western media institutions that routinely promote expansive state control, centralized economic planning, and technocratic governance as morally enlightened alternatives to liberal capitalism. Iran demonstrates where such systems lead when insulated from accountability and enforced by ideology. It shows that when the state controls livelihoods, non-conformity becomes existentially dangerous. That lesson cannot be acknowledged without undermining the moral authority of those who advocate similar ideas in softer language.

Western liberal media prefers not to hear this. Acknowledging it would require abandoning the lazy moral categories that dominate modern discourse: oppressor and oppressed, colonizer and colonized, white and non-white. Iranian protesters do not fit. They show that authoritarianism is not a Western invention imposed from outside, but something many societies are actively trying to escape.

That is what terrifies Western liberal media. And that is why the Iranian people are being ignored.

So the silence continues.

@ryangerritsen What a pussy. Be an American and defend your rights. We’re better off without guys like this. We need steel not sacks. I’m the opposing team but I would respect you more if you stood up for what you believe than running.

@bowtiedshredder Search YT with the interview of owner of Janoshik who is the biggest tester of hormones and peptides. You’d be surprised how much bro science is being put into the mainstream as accepted truth.

@JoeyMannarinoUS I agree. My exact thoughts. Must be left liberal media. Aka Kamala?
