Not discussing the racism part but the Iranian revolution was actually two-folds, like the Russian revolution. The first revolution was brought by a vast array of people, from islamists to communists. Many people hoped to keep their progressive way of life and to get political freedom on top if it. Way they got is a second revolution in the form of a swift consolidation of Khomeini’s power and a theocracy, with political assassinations and vice squads.

141·1 month agoOnce I was home in the afternoon, with my months-old baby finally napping after god knows how long nursing her (very difficult to fall asleep between chronic stomach ache attacks, choppy nights, really miserable at that time).
I hear a motorbike in the street, revving up the engine. I step outside, go to the (young) guy and tell him that my baby is trying to nap. The fucker says nothing, looks me in the eye and takes off at maximum speed/noise.
Not that I really wished it at the moment, but statistically, the bastard is dead by now. Or maybe he has kids of his own and he’s doing good, being nice to people - who knows?

100% toxic destructive behavior. It is a very well researched and doculented pattern. Next steps: guilt triggering, indirect threat, verbal abuse, direct threat (including against self), physical abuse. Sometimes it ends with an attempted homicide or outright murder.
