alt Hacker News> Why would leftists (or anyone) be confused who the bad guy is here?
Because there are literally pro-Palestine protests that have supporters of Iran's supreme leader[1].
I've seen a lot of comments and sentiment from leftists in support of Iran.
What bug(s) do you have, that you didn't know this?

Because someone held a flag in austrailia 8 months before this current Iranian conflict, you assume “the left” (globally!?) is in support of the Ayatollah?
Even more rich because Iran is currently massacring their /leftist/ population who were protesting for rights like /free markets/. How does that dissonance feel to you?
