About this listen

Iran is back in turmoil — arrests, shootings, executions, and a government hunting its own people. Meanwhile, outrage in the U.S. is pointed everywhere except toward the civilians who actually need it. In this episode, Ryan breaks down what sparked the new wave of protests, what freedoms Iranians are losing, and why the silence in America is louder than any chant.

This isn’t about picking sides.
It’s about recognizing the difference between real oppression and cartoon activism.
And it’s about noticing how Americans react — or don’t — when the victims aren’t useful to their narratives.

You’ll hear:

  • What triggered the latest unrest

  • Real examples of freedoms taken away in Iran

  • Why Trump’s strikes mattered but didn’t change the regime’s brutality

  • Why Americans protest some causes and ignore others

  • The truth about selective outrage

  • Why criticizing a violent regime isn’t racism — it’s just human
