We are one people and one nation and IRAN will always be our homeland!!

Professor historian Dmitry Chernyshevsky on distorted Iranian history
They always say something like "I stand with the Iranian people" too. So, how exactly do you stand with us when you regurgitate IR propaganda, for example:
Push the false idea of "diaspora vs. Iranians in Iran" when we all know there is very little difference ideologically
Accusing Iranians of being "islamophobic" for criticizing Islam
Saying Iranians (especially "diaspora") just "want to be white" because we don't identify as "brown" or "POC"
Pushing narratives suggesting the "IRGC is more powerful than ever!" when the country has an inflation rate through the roof among other things
"What about the schoolgirls?!" [silent on executions and massacred protesters]
Pushing anti-Pahlavi propaganda "What about SAVAK?! He's the son of a dictator!... etc"
Insisting that Iranians are so stupid that we don't know the US/Israel are attacking for their own benefit
Some very extreme tankies that we have all seen will even deny the massacres in January as a "zionist plot"
Honestly the list goes on and on and we've all seen it.
But the problem is here is that these self-proclaimed "leftists" seem to get VERY VERY UPSET and defensive when you call them out for these things, and much like many "progressive muslims" do when you call out the crimes of Muslims (present and historical), rather than try to extend an olive branch or have any dialogue, they double down and start throwing out insults.
Let's take a common example, that also highlights the hilarious parallel nature of the modern islamo-leftist union:
"REAL Muslims/Leftists don't act like that!" -- probably the worst excuse ever. Just completely defers the blame, implies that Muslims/Leftist are incapable of acting badly, and that rather than address the genuine problems with their ideology that led to the bad actions of the leftist/muslim, they just bury their head in the sand and absolve their sacred ideology of any possible wrongdoing. Then, without a shred of self-awareness, they'll get mad about "monarchists" behaving badly in isolated incidents. Yet I've never seen a Pahlavist or Monarchist say "REAL Pahlavists don't do that!" No, they take blame for it and condemn it.
The leftists seem delusional in that they genuinely think they are the "good guys" incapable of any wrongdoing, and rather than correctly ostracize those that parrot/regurgitate IR propaganda, they ignore it and then get upset with Iranians when we call them out.
Pretty disappointed. The gloves are otherwise fantastic HHF 16oz. But the finger compartment liner is completely worn through down to the leather after just a few months of use. I don't have large hands nor do I have long fingernails as I play bass and have to keep them short. I've never had the liner in a boxing glove wear through like this. Just really upset given the price point of these gloves. I've seen other comments also report this and thought maybe they were just quality control issues or the user had long unkempt fingernails. Nope.
