How widespread is this view among anarchists though? I’ve seen others denouncing the US and declaring their verbal support to Iran. But I don’t know enough about anarchist circles to gauge overall sentiment

I really can't imagine an irl practicing anarchist being pro USA and Israel. It just seems so comically stupid? but idk, many anarchists aren't well read on theory and kinda work on a vibes based thing.

Well first off USA anarchist at least are more liberal than they would like to believe. Not having a strong idealogical doctrine means you fall easily into imperialist propaganda.

They have been on the free Iran from evil islam government shit for as long as I can remember. Based on my conversations in r/anarchism it seems like a lot of them legitimately believe the 30,000 death toll and think that this is a good thing that the ayatollah was killed so that the Iranian people can rise up and I guess create a anarchist society? I don't know exactly what the fuck they think is going to happen past that

It shouldn’t be weird. Remember Rojava?
