| The college students and the left support the Iranian regime. |

| That’s quite the claim. Do you have any examples? |

| ▲ | acdha 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | There’s a subreddit for almost anything, why should we think that is broadly representative of US college students? Do you have a poll or something? | |
| ▲ | komali2 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | How can I know if this subreddit is populated by college students, let alone leftists? | | |
| ▲ | redwood an hour ago | parent [-] | | It's not, it's populated by Iranians wishing to take down the regime but frequently they reference college student posts from elsewhere, in sadness |

| Are these really left and right issues? IE as the right is becoming more anti-Israel, you find a lot more pro Islamic Republic stuff there these days. The boomer and zoomer right are very different beasts. I don't follow the left as closely these days, but imagine there are a myriad of opinions on the matter. |

| ▲ | LAC-Tech 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | right, Russia/Ukraine is another thing which isn't as neatly left/right as people think. I used to read the English version of Russia today, and it was almost comical to seem them oscillate articles that fit the "Based Mother Russia of Traditional Values" trope, then right next to it nostalgic Tankie stuff or the anti "Western Imperialist" think pieces. It's like they didn't even know who their useful idiots were anymore. |

| No, no we don't. Nor do we want to get involved in a civil war in Middle East on behalf of Trumps, Saudis, and Israelis. |
