      Its almost like we all actually care about one another and the elite upper class feed us an endless stream of hate mongering to divide us so we dont tear them apart.

      Yeah, I’ll never forget (lol) the images of people in the streets of Tehran waving the stars and stripes on 9/12/01. Boy, did dubya screw the pooch on that. “What? They’re sympathetic? Eew! BOMB THEM! AND THEIR NEIGHBORS! AND THE NEXT NEIGHBORHOOD OVER!”

      We had the whole world ready to step up and aid us, and we sprayed democracy liquid shit all over the place.

      You’re right, it stands on it’s own, but anything looks good in comparison to the US, that low bar is underground and heading to Hell at a goodly clip.

    As usual it’s not the citizens that are the problem, is the shitheads in charge…

    Please do hate the US “government”. A bunch of parasites and pedophiles. A kakistocracy.

      The ones I’ve seen so far have been mostly anti-Trump which is something anyone could get behind.

    While this video is very touching and speaks many truths, does anyone feel the omission of terror that the Iranian regime has put on its people? The Iranians I have spoken to in the US have said they are happy about the killing of Iranian leaders, though this was in the beginning of the war and they may feel different now. Don’t get me wrong tho, I can’t wait to piss on Trump’s and bibi’s grave

    Since the archive link still has the newsletter overlay, can someone post a link to the video?

    Iran has really been giving Americans too much credit. Either way, hits hard. The main thing i have cared about since seeing live footage of Iraq being bombed at age 12 the night the war was declared. My thoughts were wirh the iraqui children the same age as me or younger who were being subject to this living hell, i didnt have the politcal wherewithal to know exactly why this was wrong but i knew that death doesnt justify death, and the nigjt vision cnn footage I was seeing seemed like four 9/11s a second and I still cant wrap my head around it. America is an abominable apparatus that must be stopped
