They aren't saying no internet = holocaust, that's a strawman of what they're saying. They're saying that, in the context of there being no internet, there are human rights abuses going on that they're comparing to a concentration camp. If you want to engage with their actual point, feel free.

The lives of Muslims only matter to so many of you when their govs aren't in favor of US imperialism. They don't matter when the illegal sanctions kill hundreds of thousands every year, they don't matter in Gaza, they don't matter when Europeans set refugee camps on fire or murder random ass civilians. Unlike you, we understand the real issue here is imperialism, not an abstract good vs evil type nonsense. If you want Iranian people to be well, like we do, OPPOSE SANCTIONS NOW.

They're not comparing it to a concentration camp, they're saying outright that it is one. Which is a fucking ridiculous and disgusting narrative to repeat for the media of a country that's helping genocide people in the world's actual biggest concentration camp, Gaza.

Impressive that this "activist" knows what's going on during a blackout. Millions have died surely.

Someone broke out their alt accounts to upvote this bullshit.

That account is a hardcore Zionist defending Israel wherever they can it's pretty obvious what they're doing here.
