    This is literally the premise of the US, isn’t it: so many franchised immigrants — who tend to be upper middle class — want to steer its imperial machine toward punishing the peasants who dared to overthrow them back home. Ergo all the Iranian chuds, south Vietnamese chuds, Chinese chuds, Cuban chuds, Venezuelan chuds ... they all gather in the US and are granted easy access to the imperial project compared to actual victims of US expansionism.

    Not surprising that (AOC’s “integrity” aside cuz who’s got the time to worry about that) US politicians need to pay fealty to these international chuds.

        Point taken — I was thinking only about the regime-change and upper middle class vibes in a good part of the Iranian diaspora in the US, but yeah, the current regime of Iran isn't comparable to the rest mentioned here.
