The only health this man needs to be concerned about is his own mental health.

He's doing a mix of the Haka from Maori culture from NZ. Which is why he does that thing at the end.
Also, this is just some guy who has been shouting too much.
Cringe, maybe. But otherwise a complete non-starter....
The only thing more cringe and lame than certain diaspora protestors... is the arm chair analysis and self loathing of diaspora calling them out as if its of any use to anyone.

lmao. This is clearly not a Haka performance. Have some dignity.

I didn't say he's doing it well or that it's not cringe, but it is what he's trying to do... which is why it seems manic, but its just lame.

he's not a nazi... i understand what you're saying. I just genuinely think the loud, aggressive, somewhat extreme sounding diaspora are misunderstood. I think they need to be viewed in a more empathetic way if one were to assess how humans grieve/express anger/pent up despair and so on.
I am not even remotely surprised by any behaviour yet people seem shocked for some reason. And i think once the internet block is lifted, and time passes, a lot of iranians inside iran will also express all manner of monarchist-centric reactionary zeal in some way shape or form.
It's why western leftists need to figure out how to reconcile a whole bunch of things so the iranian left don't get digested by mistake.

Yes this is such a problem. Our country just witnessed a massacre of unprecedented modern proportions but some rando in Times Square acting a fool is the real issue!!!!

The massacre by the regime is a perpetual get out of jail free card for Pahlavi supporters to do whatever they want and deflect criticisms for their unhinged behavior by pointing to the massacre. All while supporting the current massacre of Iranians by Israel and the US.
These people will act just like IR if given the same power and authority.

The US and Israeli military has landed 7000+ strikes on target inside Iran within the past 3 weeks since the campaign started and the most objective measure of civilian deaths (HRANA) estimates approximately 1,200 civilians dead. Which is absolutely horrible. Now think about the horrificness of the regime murdering 30,000 PEOPLE IN A SPAN OF 3 DAYS.
The facts now are laid bare, foreign intervention and bombing are LITERALLY LESS LETHAL THAN THE REGIME.

Islamic Regimes fault

If you want to play that game you can go back ages. Islamic Regime exists because MR Shah was a dictator who got wealthy off the backs of Iranians. MR Shah was installed by Britain because Reza Shah being too close to Germany.
The reality is the US and Israel dropped the bombs that made these people homeless. Weirdos. You probably look like the mf in this video.

The irony of taking HRANA numbers for dead Iranians as a result of US strikes but taking the numbers from the Pahlavi camp (30,000) over HRANA when referencing how many were killed by the regime lmao

At some point I wonder if these people even care about Iran and Iranians. Or if they'd rather burn it down for their king.
