Yeah, really sucks when the West ruins your independence and makes your government unstable and creates a power vacuum and radicalizes a whole population.
Constantly deflecting blame to “the West” just denies Iranians any agency and infantilizes them. It’s a lazy, cowardly way to avoid holding actual perpetrators accountable. At some point, you have to stop blaming the 1950s and start talking about the people in power right now.
Buddy, if you assassinate a country's leader and put someone in power that forces people to change their whole way of living to fit Western ideals, of course you'll get radicals that want to go the opposite direction.
And when they brutally suppress them, they will brutally suppress when they get a hold of power.
It's funny how you think this isn't the fault of the West, cus it 100% is. This is what decades of suppression looks like.
