Episode notes
Media Double Standard On Casualty Counts
- Ruslan highlights a media double standard: progressive outlets accept Gaza casualty figures but downplay unverified high death counts from Iran.
- He argues ideological bias explains selective outrage and silence on Iranian government violence.
Personal Roots In The Region
- Ruslan shares his background: ethnically Armenian, born in Baku, Azerbaijan, and personally connected to regional tensions.
- He links that history to why Iran's protests and repression resonate with him personally.
Why Progressive Silence Happens
- Ruslan cites a Free Press analysis that progressive silence on Iran is often ideological, rooted in anti-Western sympathies.
- He connects that to an oppressor-oppressed framework which can lead progressives to excuse authoritarian regimes.
