Incredible to see so many comments claiming this is propaganda and claiming there are no such maps of the US, when a simple google search results in dozens of hits for such maps. It is impossible to walk around in any major US city without witnessing protests about various topics, we have never been shy about protesting and it’s a key element of modern American culture.

Feel like every submission that I see on HN which is even vaguely political just devolves into “America bad” and conspiracy theories. I honestly preferred the “AWS bad” meta over this

You see, Iran is sanctioned by the west for decades now, and these sanctions eroded the Iranian economy greatly, causing much pain and suffering for the people of Iran.

These sanctions a major reason for the protest, so they are largely legitimate. To archive regime change, mix in (paid) violent protesters with AK's and Molotov Cocktails and add a Truth Social Post like

> If Iran shots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We are locked and loaded and ready to go. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J.TRUMP

there is your regime change!

Conspiracy theory isn’t even a smear anymore. It used to refer to idiocy like Reptile Overlords. Now Conspiracy Theory just means the belief that organized groups have an agenda and can lie about their real agenda.

People who yell Conspiracy Theories are just smearing themselves at this point.
