im sorry to the original user if i misinterpreted their comment of “” but to me that seems to be them being suspicious of a guy living in iran for disliking his own government. I don’t agree with Panahi’s political opinions, he wants a liberal democratic government more than any workers state and I think he’s overly critical of his government in this current moment but like its the country he was born in (and would be living in right now if not for the fact that he’s been told if he ever returns he’ll be thrown back in prison yet again), all I’m arguing is that he’s not some right winger or monarchist or zionist who just wants his personal favourite autocracy to replace it, he’s just some guy and it shouldn’t be treated as distrustful for an iranian to ideologically oppose the theocracy, especially when other users in the comment thread have already laid out his political position and that he isn’t using as a smokescreen to advance pro-israel politics or whatever. I don’t get why my comment was especially different from the other two users saying basically the same thing except that i was a bit snarkier than needed and also disagreed with you on an unrelated matter.
i dont care enough about your personal opinion of OBAA to write out a long message defending it in response to you saying that people who liked it are “weird about black people”, i care about your personal opinion just about enough to reply with “” to your comment, I definitely don’t care about it enough to go looking for unrelated statements you’ve made to argue against them as well.
