    (🇮🇷) Reza Pahlavi lost 200 thousand followers on Instagram when restrictions on international Internet in Iran was lifted.

    Looks like Pahlavi is increasingly becoming unfamous and more hated, even among its own supporters from Iran.

    Pahlavist bots

    I’m personally convinced this guys account is botted to shit. The pahlavist bot farms are probably some of the largest in the world, as can be proven by the Zan, Zendagi, Azadi (Women Life Freedom) uprising a few years ago being one if if not the largest online mobilizations cooked up by the west. After the start of the Ramadan War, I’m trying to determine just how much of diaspora is actually deranged, because it’s obviously way less then is represented online and in western media.

      Trita Parsi spoke of this a while back. iirc he said around 10% of Iranians in the US supported some form of actions against Iran back in 2010 - and that now at the start of this conflict it had increased to around 25-30% (from good polling). So this is still a minority - and that is only the Iranian diaspora in the US. So it is definitely NOT a majority position even outside of Iran, but of course it is elevated in the propaganda as if it is 99% of all Iranians inside and outside of the country lol.
