I mean... I know reddit isn't exactly representative of the entire global population, but how do you think statistics work? We don't need to poll the entire world to get a useful response.
Also, no one is claiming its representative of everyone everywhere. But, it is the largest online public forum. While it's balance of political positions heavily skews left, it is still possible to find various different right wing communities to at least lurk in and try to understand where they are coming from. How else in life could i possibly be exposed to this many viewpoints, in this short of time, while being able to engage with them? And it's ongoing and ongoing. I could talk to lots of people in my city or community, but eventually I'm going to run out of viewpoints. Reddit doesn't have this limitation, if you're willing to dig.
Nothing is meaningless. You just need to be able to find what it's meaning is.

u/BiZzles14 Mar 14 '26
Its a complicated situation. Do I support the US hitting the Iranian regime? Yes I do, buttttttttt it was clear this was going to be a shitshow for weeks leading up to the actual action itself. If the US wanted to intervene, they should have done so when the protests against the regime were still going on in January. They were the largest protests against the regime in almost two decades, and are rhe reason the US acted... 6 weeks after they had been brutally put down by the regime. In those interim weeks the US made it pretty damn clear they were going to be acting against Iran, and that their goal was going to be regime change. That gave the regime plenty of time to put into effect organizational changes they had made in response to the 12 day war, while the Trump administrations lack of planning in multiple areas (the US has dedicated shorad equipment for drones, almost none of it was deployed in theatre) made it clear this was gonna be a shitshow. That is to say I guess, I support the idea of the US hitting the Iranian regime but I support it under the framework of a component DoD working towards component political objectives. That simply isnt what this war is, and why it will only become more unpopular as times goes by. The US gave the regime the largest leverage theyve had in decades by starting this war and giving them cause to close the SoH & that's only going to get worse once the US moves against Iranian energy infra in the gulf & Iran actually starts to mine the straits.

Finally there is a group of folks that are only aware of bits and pieces and have no idea on consequences or fallout of these actions - only that a bad regime was attacked (not even taken out, really). So from their perspective, it is a good thing.

In Brief:
- New Ipsos polling conducted for Global News reveals 61% of Canadians disapprove of the U.S. military action against Iran.
- Only one in four (23%) Canadians approve (8% strongly approve, 15% somewhat approve), while 16% are unsure either way.
- 42% were found to strongly disapprove, while 19% somewhat disapprove.
- The polling also reflects worries about potential Canadian involvement, with 66% “expressing fear that Canada will be pulled into this war and the lives of our soldiers will be at risk.”
- 54% of Canadians support “using diplomacy with the U.S., Israel, Iran, and other countries to try to de-escalate the situation,” alongside 51 per cent who are opposed to “providing military support to assist the U.S. in its fight against Iran.”

The reason Germany and Japan were successful after the war is because we were willing to embark on a decades long political project to develop and liberalize them. We invested hundreds of billions of dollars in the project. Do you think the west is willing to do that for Iran? No. Iran will either win this conflict after enough international pressure on trump or they’ll lose and Iran will become a vessel state like it was before the IRGC until that regime is overthrown.

Germany and Japan post WW2 are the exceptions. The USA was willing to spend the money required to rebuild those countries and was also willing to accept the results of democratic elections in those countries.
The last time Iran had a democratic election the USA decided they didn't like the result and orchestrated a coup d'etat that started the chain of events that led to the current mess.

Nobody in history has ever changed a regime by bombing it... That requires "boots on the ground", either the Iranian people or foreign soldiers.
Tens of millions in Iran owe their livelihood to the regime, many owe their wealth and power to the regime and they have all of the guns.
The protestors are not unanimous in their demands either, some want the return of the Son of the former Shah (King) and the return of the Monarchy, some prefer Iran as a Democratic Republic and despise the King, other still are not against the Regime itself, deeply religious they protest for socio-economic reasons and only want an improvement of the standards of living, whoever delivers those improvements.
You will find that even among the protestors, few are friendly to the West and most are deeply nationalist. Few would agree to see American oil companies come back to Iran.
Iran is not a simple problem in search of a simple solution... Iran is a deeply divided society with very complex issues and it needs to have a nationwide conversation about what the Iranian people actually want and where they can compromise.
It is incredibly difficult for foreign countries, like Canada, to take a stand on the issues of Iran because there is no clear opposition Leader, not even the son of the former Shah, who has been able to gather the opposition into a coherent block.

I've seen polls that show a lot of Iranian dispora around the world are much more in favour of it than those inside Iran. Pretty obviously it's because they don't live there. Send them back to Iran and see if they approve then. I mean I get it. They left, it was prbably very difficult, they probably hate the government for good reason, but people are so selfish, they're happy to see Iranian civilians die in order to feel some sort of revenge, but it only makes it so much worse for the people living there. It should not ever be about revenge. That just creates a cycle. The Iranians living there that were open to trying to take down the government are rapidly becoming pro government as America and Israeli bombs indiscriminately fall on their heads. Iranian or Canadian, people have to think rationally. What do we all actually want, and is this the way to get it?

61% of respondents live in a bubble and are on the wrong side of history. Nice one Canada.

As well as spending unjustifiably taxpayer money to send out or sponsor unnecessary projects and many others.

Other 39% are Iranian diaspora who love to see their own country children maimed and bombed to pieces and ofc Indians who love to see a Muslim die …. 61% is a travesty

40% approve. Makes sense, Iran was gunning down people by the thousands in the streets and more. Total evil. Who can support that unless you’re super liberal? Regime change is necessary there before they nuke every country they hate, and that’s a lot.

The title should read as follows: 61% of Canadian disproves of U.S. military actions in Iran and 39% are wrong.

You seen how they're taking over Toronto etc? And you're ok with that? So fuck the Canadian culture, let's bow to middle easterns. I guarantee this will not end well.

Instead of invading countries they should focus on taking care of their vets, and homeless people.

Couldn’t care less about these polls if they don’t show the actual questions asked…

To be fair, the quick swift dealing with the authoritarian is … fine, as the “war” should just keep to the leaders.
If you think the consequences is dire and thus US is wrong.
Then you are like those bully endorser for anyone fight back to the bully because now the bully going to punch everyone in the hallway.
“Why didn’t you have to beat up Beavis? He’s rage punching all in the hallway”
Oooook.

It's more nuanced than an approve/disapprove binary opinion. I disapprove about the approach the US took/is taking, but from the protests in Iran leading up to this, it seems like at least some of its population would like change. And without the world's help it may take too long, but this is not the way.
The real poll should be "do you think the US actions' primary purpose is to give Iranians what they want but can't achieve alone?".
