confirmed my #auntifa tingly senses:
beautiful women smoking cigarettes became THE THING in 1920s #movies, especially after 1927 when talkies were invented. the technology was patented. talkies needed to be subsidized, so they became defacto ads for the gringolarchy; producing “the white gaze”.
these pics from #Iran scream white gaze.
REMEMBER: the #petromafia want #Venezuela and #Iran. images like these are grooming y’all for an invasion.
LET ME BE CLEAR
am not questioning the authenticity of the uprisings in #Iran. Iran is part of the global south that is running out of potable #water.
you know who is too? Saudi Arabia. why do you think they are using #techbros & #AI data centers to access resources from water rich countries?
the images am reading in the above post are meant to #americanize #europeanize the insurgency in Iran. THAT IS THE POINT OF THE WHITE GAZE.
you know who were experts at it? THE PAHLAVIS.
