@AfshinBehran @SquintFeastwood You’ve been seething all day that she’s being mocked after dying, fill up my cup with your tears

Marjane Satrapi's persona is tailor-made for a particular Western and especially French intellectual aesthetic: the rebellious, self-aware, permanently alienated individual who stands apart from both tradition and society. the classic postmodern protagonist, skeptical, forever at odds with the world around her. "So confident. tortured. very cool. ME,ME,ME, Nobody understands me." less concerned with collective social forces (French Marxist apparently)

do people see how brazen this is? to spend an entire life railing against Iran — and not only ignore the state committing one of the worst exterminations of our time, but say "military intervention in Iran would be good because it'd lessen resistance to Israel!"

[XamarPapi @XamarPapi]

Writing all this nonsense to handwave away from the fact she’a a traitorous Zionist bitch who committed suicide because Iran won the US/Israel v Iran war 😂😂😂

[adelvafa @iran0pessimist]

I'm going to be as sensitive about this as possible, because Satrapi likely either ended her life from depression after losing her husband or "died of a broken heart" (this kind of thing does happen, albeit with older people). Satrapi was one of many authors whose unique experience in Iran was woven into the GWOT-industrial complex's consent manufacturing regime. Though not as egregious as Ayaan Hirsi Ali or others of the Sam Harris Islamophobia wavelength, Satrapi's depiction of Iran fed into the same liberal capitalist justification for aggression and neoliberal regime change that vanquished 4.5-4.7 million human lives since 2001. This is NOT saying she is responsible for that- decisionmakers in Tel Aviv, Wall Street, and Washington are. But authors like her, filmmakers who make films like Rosewater and The Stoning of Soraya M, all have something of a part to play in the grand machine of imperialism. It's a tough call to "see the human" in a situation like this and I can see both people who don't want to address her political effect and just want to focus on her sad passing, as well as those who want us to contend with what her story did, and how it was weaponized for genocide. There's somewhere in between and both sides have valid points. It's worth keeping in perspective that the culmination of what started with the Iraq invasion in 2003 occurred in Gaza, and would have continued to its ghastly end if Iran was balkanized easily. With that in mind, it behooves us to pan out and take a longitudinal look at how Satrapi's work functioned in this horror. Believe it or not it is indeed possible to say her passing was sad, and yet to acknowledge how her work was propagandized and weaponized.

Often, authors just want to share their stories- and Satrapi is no different, and she ultimately was a liberal who was more amenable to the type of society found in America or Europe than the one she lived in in Iran. That's a personal proclivity, certain people find certain systems confining. Ergo, her experiences in Iran and her desire to voice them were picked up by publishers and the media complex and turned into a propaganda angle. She likely felt what she was doing was right; there was certainly a mutuality to it. And just like Iranians who may indeed love Iran but whose experiences with Iran's government had led them to the insane conclusion that war on Iran would bring change, she too, knew the smell of ghormeh sabzi, the gossip of old Iranian grandmas, and the tunes of Shajarian, and had an attachment to these things. It's important to not forget that. These people who ultimately play a part in the machine that destroys Iran genuinely are attached to Iran in their own ways and just want, what they believe, is their "right" vision for Iran.

I hope that raises a few points to consider going forward; hopefully we third world monkeys are capable of rational, nuanced discourse about things like this.

@SquintFeastwood I was literally 11 years old when I realised Persepolis was slopganda about cruel Muslims for curious Westerners, literally clocked it the second I saw the depiction of the two Iranian women chastising her for wearing a punk jacket.

@hothotZawalia @gothichijabi She made it up to defend her gusano idol

[man with no game @SquintFeastwood]

You're a baby. She was a tool of Empire and her writings led to mass death and destruction. They were a direct tool of imperial propaganda

[XamarPapi @XamarPapi]

@razzynr @o_li_si LMAO at the “leftists” in your replies claiming you don’t care about those kids. They’re projecting so hard, they would sign off on a dozen drone strikes on Iran if it was in the name of feminism or communism

[XamarPapi @XamarPapi]

Rest in piss

[Victims of Capitalism Memorial Foundation @karaokecomputer]

On December 11, 2023 – just two months after October 7th – Marjane Satrapi had this to say about Palestinian resistance to genocide: “Even if you calculate in the most cynical way … a democratic Iran is a more feeble Hamas.”

[XamarPapi @XamarPapi]

@Igi_POLCOM Polack talking ACK

[Rocko @Rocko64_]

Libbed up 🌹🚩🇺🇦 accounts are retconning the near consensus we had a few months ago on it being one of the most egregious orientalist depictions and rallying point for French islamophobia. Cuz now you gotta respect the dead. This is politics I'm not interested in some person.

[afia🇵🇰 @ROKSDXEBECC]

Is the term islamist supposed to be insulting
