It’s incredible to see a free people destroying their city in the name of “solidarity” with criminals, as an entire nation across the globe is fighting for the freedom to have access to simple necessities like drinking water.
I’m not in favor of war or oppression.
Keeping updated on the uprising in Iran has been incredibly emotional. I wish I could say the same for the Minnesota riots, but no. I don’t really have anything in common with people who support attacking law enforcement, burning down businesses, or harassing those who believe in upholding the law.
It is easy to empathize with individuals who are subject to violent human rights offences, no matter what they do. The Iranian people have a long way to go, but I hope they succeed and that they restore law and order to their nation with grace and dignity.
The Iranians are everything that leftist agitators wish they could be. Leftist rioters in Minnesota have grown up hearing romanticized versions of the civil rights movement. They long to “be a part of history” and want to “make an impact” so badly that they don’t seem to care what side of history they’re on or what impact they’re making. The civil rights leaders of the past had the law on their side; they were simply seeking to receive the freedoms that are inherent. Rioters nowadays are just seeking fame, and people are fed up with their tantrums.
