1/ Dictators know that Western progressives prioritize slogans over actions.
That's why Khamenei can mouth off about systemic racism in the US while he butchers minorities in Iran bc clueless woke Americans will sympathize with his regime as long as he uses their language. https://t.co/9AwzCZMPt6 pic.twitter.com/7TAiQDgwXO— Seena Saiedian (@seena_ir) March 21, 2021
2/ As I wrote in the summer, regimes like the one in Tehran have a history of coopting progressive buzzwords like anti-imperialism and anti-racism to dupe leftists into being their useful idiots.https://t.co/jBCqiXxVtA

3/ Case in point: @codepink, a group that labels themselves as progressive, anti-war, feminists yet routinely promote a regime that has enabled Assads slaughter in Syria and treats women as second class citizens. pic.twitter.com/lngWLS9m8Q

4/ The worst part is that these folks are often genuinely well-intentioned. They truly believe that promoting he IRI or CCP is progressive. They can't see the irony because all that matters to them is the verbal commitment from a regime calling itself anti-imperialist
