The impact of the fall of the Iranian regime will be far bigger than most people realise. It will be a genuine “cut the head off the snake” moment.

Because once the Ayatollahs fall, the entire political ecosystem they’ve been propping up starts to collapse with them. It will instantly strip away, and I cannot believe I’m even saying this, a huge amount of the fake “legitimacy” groups like Hamas have managed to gain over the last few years. It will drag into the light all the ties, funding routes, training links, and ideological coordination that the IRGC has had with terrorist organisations across the region.

And yes, it will absolutely delegitimise the modern “pro-Palestine” movement as it currently exists in the West, because so much of it isn’t actually about Palestinians at all. It’s about extremist propaganda, anti-Israel narratives, and the constant repackaging of extremism as “social justice”. The fall of the regime would rip the mask off that entire performance.

But perhaps the biggest slap in the face of all will be that it will expose the one subject liberal leftist activists fear the most, because it destroys their whole worldview.

It will prove, in the clearest possible way, that the biggest struggle the Iranian people have faced was not “Western imperialism”, not “Zionism”, and not some abstract geopolitical grievance.

It was life under deadliest terrorist regime on planet oppression....

And once millions of Iranians are free to say that openly, without fear of prison, torture, or execution, the activist class won’t be able to spin it anymore. They won’t be able to pretend that radical extremists is “resistance”. They won’t be able to sell the lie that terrorists are the oppressed heroes of history.

The fall of the Iranian regime will create an ideological earthquake.
 
Roger Waters, the co-founder and former bassist of Pink Floyd, is a highly controversial figure, frequently described by critics, industry peers, and former bandmates as a deeply unpleasant or "appalling" person
. While some fans and commentators defend him as an anti-establishment artist standing up for human rights, he has faced intense backlash for his behavior, political views, and interpersonal relationships.
Key factors driving the negative perception of Waters include:

Accusations of Anti-Semitism and Extremist Views: Waters has been accused of using antisemitic tropes, notably during a 2023 concert in Berlin where he wore a costume reminiscent of a Nazi-era SS officer, leading to a police investigation. He has consistently denied these accusations, stating his issues are with the state of Israel, not Jewish people. He has been accused of demonstrating "historical ignorance" and dismissing accusations of violence against Israelis.
Bitter Feuds with Former Bandmates: The relationship between Waters and fellow Pink Floyd members David Gilmour and Nick Mason has been hostile for decades. Gilmour and his wife, Polly Samson, publicly labeled Waters a "Putin apologist" and a misogynist, which Waters dismissed as "wildly inaccurate". He has been described as a "control freak" who attempted to "destroy" Pink Floyd after leaving, according to band-related forums.
Hostility Toward Other Artists: Waters has drawn criticism for insulting other musicians, including calling Ozzy Osbourne "sick in the head" and stating he "couldn't give a f*ck" about his music, which resulted in sharp condemnation from the Osbourne family.
Behavioral Issues and "Nasty" Temperament: Reports have described him as a "miserable," "ugly," and "nasty" person who is "deeply rooted in his beliefs" and pessimistic. His behavior in interviews has been described as aggressive and sometimes "inadequate".
Controversial Stance on Foreign Policy: He has faced backlash for his views on the war in Ukraine, leading to accusations that he has "sold out to hate" and holds views that contradict his earlier, more progressive, and anti-fascist work.

Conversely, some supporters view him as a misunderstood visionary, arguing that his actions are aimed at fighting authoritarianism and that he is being unfairly targeted by the media for his anti-establishment, pro-Palestinian, and pro-Assange views.
Note: The results indicate a highly polarized view of Waters, ranging from him being seen as a "musical genius" to a "horrible human being".
