Doing a deep dive in marjane satrapis politics in France in the last few years and guys...this is horrendous. She was friends with so many right wing politicians. Called out the French left as "antisemitic" all bc they didnt have a view on iran she didnt like.
Despite my support for iran against the US empire, I never believe in demeaning people like satrapi who have a more complex relationship with iran and was victimized in childhood by religious dogma. But at the end of the day her worldview was "theres fanatics and everybody else" without ever really questioning who the fanatics are, why Europe and America with false civil liberties would be concerned with the civil liberties of the mena region. Its so easy to fall to the liberal to neo to right wing pipeline when u never confront your worldview
Here she just regurgitates zionist propaganda that iran is the head of all these resistance groups
She said about leftist politician Melenchon saying his relationship to "hamas is quiet" and thinks hes an antisemite which is just lines repeated by right wing zionist media
She really just was at the end of her life a zionist idc about her earlier views when shes siding with the right wing and using her victimhood to platform views to continue to shit on my people and our resistance
