Has anybody read up on the 1979 Iranian revolution? Shits surreal
>Iran in 70s
>pro-west Shah in power
>Iran is like America
>prosperous, no economic issues due to oil wealth
>no hijabs, Iran is secular
>Muslim clerics get mad at this
>Ayatollah Khomeini starts talking against the Shah
>convinces leftists college students to start protesting in masse against "American imperialism"
>they see Khomeini as a peaceful Gandhi-like figure
>protests get larger and larger
>Shah steps down, Khomeini takes over
>hangs all the leftists from cranes
>turns Iran into an Islamic theocracy
Iran is the way it is now because a bunch of college leftists wanted to feel important

It saved iran in the long run because they don't have a central bank.

College leftists are just pleb tier commies. They had a long term plan and it was thwarted.

The US just wanted cheap oil. That's all.
Everything that threatens the petro dollar gets shut down . Ask Gadaffi and hussein.
Now China wants to buy oil with Gold backed Yuans.
WW3 is coming boyos

???

History didn't start in the 1970s. Go back to the 1950s to understand why 1979 happened.
Julian Edwards
This is a very very simplified version of events, with many ommissions. Please do not discuss things you don't understand fully

The Shah wanted to modernize the country too fast. He ignored the fact that the majority of the population were conservative Shia Muslims.
Charles Rogers
Iranians are the whitest nonwhites.

Yeah. The shah had a group called Savak (I think) and they would regularly round up, torture, and kill anyone that opposed the CIA installed Shah. You want to blame someone for how Iran turned out?; blame the shitlords at the CIA.
Cooper Jenkins
Yeah Iranians can't control themselves
Jace Flores
It'd be okay, if he provided jobs for the displaced ruralites, but he didn't. Hence, protests.
Urban Iranians were always party animals.

>Shah steps down
That would be in the same sense that Gaddafi "stepped down."
Lucas Fisher
He was also dumb enough to piss off nearly everyone.

Iran in 1953.

--CIA overthrows democratically elected
president. Installs shah.
Fast forward to 1979. Folks don't like
shaw because he tortures folks and stole
money.
King ayatolla muzzrat inserts himself into this
equation and comes out on top.
Zachary Powell
Lol leftist cucks; always getting played by chads from the right, left, and above.

You know about the 1953 coup that the West led? The anti-American Islamic Revolution wouldn't have happened without that.
Chase Thompson
Says the stupid fucking leaf. Fuck off.
Jordan Edwards
The US also blew it because they feared leftists students and USSR intervention. Religious conservatives were a good counter. They didn't realize how anti American the Ayatollah and Republic would be.

Shareef don't like that

Previous government was a US puppet state, and failed. The US has been trying to take down Iran and steal the oil fields since the revolution.
Carter Perez
(((The Arab Spring))) was CIA funded
Austin Jenkins
Fucking sjws know nothing about history. Thats why they defend communism and Islam without question. At least conservatives are smart in the fact that virtually all of them own guns.
COME AND GET THEM YOU FUCKING KEKS. Deus Vult!
