So we are censoring comments we don't like? Iran? No, right here in the West

Comment in question:

It's ironic to watch the contradictions unfold

On one hand, nobody actually knows what's happening in Iran, yet everyone has a rock solid opinion, complete with intricate details, as if they'd just left a classified briefing

On the other hand, those same confident voices all want the same thing: a leader who'll privatize Iran's oil for Western companies, align with US policy, open markets to Western finance, and prioritize defense contracts over local development

Funny how that works

Some random farmer from Ohio is obsessed with Iran for some reason

It's as simple as: Iranians don't want a theocratic dictatorship that oppresses women and funds terrorism worldwide. Almost anything is better than Iran's current government so anyone who loves freedom even a tiny bit should cheer them on.

Iran was executing women for not wearing hats. That is what the flyover people around me know about Iran and is enough for them to think they'd be OK with the theocratic regime gone.

The vast majority of people cheering on Iranian protesters don’t know anything about Ian’s oil. The see people in the street protesting their theocratic regime and they cheer them on. To imagine that these voices are all just oil puppets is the stuff of leftist group think.

Your comment wasn’t censored, your fellow readers flagged it because they thought it was bullshit.
