That's not the point. The point is that "progressives" soapbox for \*selective\* issues like "free palestine", but for far graver issues they are silent. It just shows that they don't actually care. They are either bots, shills, brainwashed, sheep, or virtue signalers.

They are either bots, shills, brainwashed, sheep, or virtue signalers. Or maybe... Just maybe... you've failed to grasp that protests are about domestic politics. Americans protest against Israel's apartheid regime because Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign aid over the last 50 years. Whereas, Iran, is already heavily sanctioned, diplomatically isolated, intermittently bombed, and now possibly at war with the US. What US foreign policy change should we protest for in your view? A ground war in Iran with US troops going house to house in Tehran? For the US to bomb Iran into failed state and a years long civil war? From a humanitarian prospective attempting to put additional pressure on the regime only hurts the people of Iran more.

Uzul Apr 26, 2026 +44

Evil on that scale is not happening on the daily, no. The god damn school the US military hit by mistake got 10 times more coverage than tens of thousands of Iranians getting intentionally murdered by their own government. Even today, despite what's left of the Islamic regime continuing to commit war crimes and other atrocities on the daily, there's still an obvious push in the media, left leaning especially, to try to paint the US as the bad guy in all of this. It's sickening honestly.

A ton of people on social media are sharing Iranian propaganda and having a good time about it. Probably the first time I've seen a positive reaction to AI generated shit from the social media crowd. That helps the Iranian regime and these people could make the choice not to do that. They are not.

Traditional_Tea_1879 Apr 26, 2026 +6

There is coverage, there was very little support shown to the Iranians who suffers from the regime on the street level, where the organisations that raised their voices, marchws and protested, sometimes violently, were largely absent. There were few demonstration in support of the Iranians, but these lacked the volume and mobilisation that have been so impressive and disruptive in the pro Palestine demos. To make things worse, it looked like at least some of the left chose to actually support the Iranian regime in counter demos instead. So no. The left has largely ignored what was happening in Iran and when it did, it was few and inconsistent support.

Couldn't agree more but that's nuance and we can't have that online anymore. Iran, Israel and the US aren't football teams where supporting one means you are against the other or whatever, you can think and accept they are all fucked up in their own ways and you know what, your head won't explode.

Estimates go from 30 to 40k depending on your source. I trust the number is higher because verification of the dead is impossible in iran.

These conservatives don’t care at all about sexual assault, these people in Iran, nor anything else. This is just part of their latest attempts to run diversion from their cult leader. He is losing the PR war on every platform and the only thing they can do to try and quell criticism is to post how everyone is some secret Iran lover simply because “orange man bad.” Go to any post on Iran and you will find this.

Way to make up absolute nonsense. So you have a Scream-O-Meter in your household that you monitor daily whenever someone around the world is assaulted to measure the reaction from various people? How can anyone take a comment like yours seriously? As if people walk around their daily lives thinking sexual assault is perfectly okay as long as it happens "over there".

DuskOfANewAge Apr 26, 2026 +10

So you just make up random thoughts in your head that you want to believe are true, and then decide to tell the rest of the world that they ARE true, without recognizing any fault whatsoever in your logic? It's not like western reporters are able to interview Iranian women and girls about their sexual assaults any more than they can go to remote villages in Africa that are uncontrolled by any stable government. That doesn't automagically mean people don't f****** care. That fact that you imagined it in your head is part of the problem. You just jumped to the assumption that because we don't have resources in the world to cover every single story that somehow we're all apathetic to what is going on.

Only someone living in an US/Israel-brain broken conservative bubble would think progressives - the people who have been fighting the hardest for decades to improve human rights - would be silent because it’s Iran.

Does that make it any better? https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-media-line-bias-and-credibility/ They’re biased in favor of Israel and often don’t show sources. > Media Bias/Fact Check found that The Media Line focuses primarily on Israeli perspectives while frequently omitting Palestinian viewpoints. Their articles tend to use emotionally loaded language centered on the challenges faced by Israelis — such as farmers working despite tensions or rescue efforts during attacks — while often leaving out coverage of the Palestinian experience or the broader impacts on other populations in the region. MBFC characterized this as “bias through omission,” resulting in a narrative that centers Israeli stories. In short, it leans pro-Israel in its framing — not necessarily through overt editorializing, but by consistently choosing which stories to tell and whose hardships to highlight. If you’re using it for research on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict specifically, it’s worth supplementing with outlets that give more weight to Palestinian perspectives.

The people of Iran are under siege by a minority who holds strong to power. I highly suspect brigading based on how the comments are going right now. I also expect heavy downvotes.
