        Yeah. Iranians have a shitty government, but in all honesty they’ve been kind of pulled into all kind of bullshit most of the time. If you look at history, they’ve rather rarely been the aggressor.

    Their governments should just rotate each leader once in a while just to keep things fun … I doubt anyone would notice or that it would change world politics

    Seniority should demote individuals, from positions of power, to those of advisory.

    Privilege readily blinds those who experience it.

    Authoritarianism is most attractive to the weakest.

    Religion is the most destructive human invention.

    I’m not into kink shaming, unless practicing it inflicts harm in a non-consensual manner.

      Well modern Iran is built on persecutions. Be it Zoroastrians, Jews, Christians, Mandaeism, Ba’hai all were persecuted, even sunni and sufi muslim also persecuted.

        The zio regime is still being “built” on apartheid, theft, genocide, etc. Everybody who isn’t a zio is eligible for persecution and murdering.

        More generally every “state” is based on violence and murder.

      As long as enough people are narcissistic and lack empathy, this will happen. Because at the end of the day, conservatism is narcissism. As is easily demonstrated in all tthe “leaporads ate my face” social media groups. Where you can see them cheering something on when it’s hurting others, and then crying as soon as it impacts themselves or someone close to them.

    This is what bugs me the most, old people saying crazy shit is normal. The blame is kind of on the rest of us that they got into power.

    Don’t forget sending people into offshore jail and refuse to let them go, and support and indirectly encouraging genocide.

      Yeah, out of all of the things to list… Not releasing Epstein files is at the bottom of the list.

        Dunno. Being a violent pedophile/rapist is pretty important when it comes to being on any ballot. In a society not entirely brainwashed that list might be useful to keep future monsters away from power.
