They didn’t do the islamic revolution but they did do a coup 26 years earlier (for oil, of course) which installed the government that the islamic revolution was revolting against.

Edit: For more context these are some of the policies of the man the US overthrew (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Mosaddegh#Prime_Minister_of_Iran)

The new administration introduced a wide range of social reforms: unemployment compensation was introduced, factory owners were ordered to pay benefits to sick and injured workers, and peasants were freed from forced labour in their landlords' estates. In 1952, Mosaddegh passed the Land Reform Act, which forced landlords to place 20% of their revenue into a development fund. This development fund paid for various projects such as public baths, rural housing, and pest control.[34]

In March 1951, Mosaddegh nationalised the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, cancelling its oil concession, which was otherwise set to expire in 1993, and expropriating its assets. Mosaddegh saw the AIOC as an arm of the British government controlling much of the oil in Iran, pushing him to seize what the British had built in Iran.[35] The next month, a committee of five majlis deputies was sent to Khuzistan to enforce the nationalisation.[36][37] Mosaddegh justified his nationalisation policy by claiming Iran was "the rightful owner..." of all the oil in Iran.

You’re not wrong that I could have been more engaging that just dropping a link but it didn’t seem like there would be much point when the person I was responding to was just calling me a liar. I’m way too burnt out to argue with people and proselytize/do praxis in general but op asked a question so I figured I would answer.

For the most part because you can support their right not to be bombed into oblivion to further America’s imperial ambitions and also disagree with how they treat their lgbtq people. Often these countries were left leaning in the past until America installed a right-wing government.

I sing think I’ve ever seen that but in the same vein, when the game idea a terrible laggy software mouse in menus with the sensitivity tied to the look sensitivity in game

I sure love experiencing their carefully crafted intro sequence in 4fps/windowed 480p/etc.

I play walking simulators and other games, I can’t agree with that one.

The worst is when the start button instantly skips the cutscene with no confirmation/warning

To me this comic is just one mediocre joke beaten to death, and I don’t think there should be American comics in a euro community, but I’m also a filthy American so feel free to ignore me I guess.
