I'll note that kissing is not culturally universal. Remember that colonialism has made a lot of European ideas and norms seem way more universal than they are.
I mean I kinda agree overall but this is a weird critique because he was 100% correct about Biden's cognitive decline. So that specific criticism is pretty weird.
Yeah we should be focused on the backup plan. The only one I can come up with is millions gather in DC and physically remove these people from office. But I'm open to other ideas.
Without a change in congress I have no idea what he could possibly do to get republicans to do something. It's literally a cult. He could come to their houses and rape their kids and they'd be out there the next day explaining how this is good for America, actually.
Dude fuck off. Obviously they can do what they want. I'm just explaining why it's a bad idea. Neither of what we think matters, it's for Iranians to decide how they want to handle this. But if I were them, I'd pick literally anyone else.
It's totally ridiculous to suggest that there are no leaders remaining in a country of almost 100 million. There surely religious figures, protest organizers, local heads of community, literally anyone would be better than a monarch. Or if there is truly no one then I have to believe a better exile exists who is not so clearly a Western puppet and with the same toxic baggage. Or, worst case, let there be no singular leader. The protestors can choose delegates for a council of leadership. Even no experience is better than such a dangerous outsider.
There no point in overthrowing the government if what replaces it will be no better.
I mean his only qualification for leadership is he's a prince. If you can't see that alone is a risk of reinstating monarchy I don't know what to tell you.
Surely there is a better option, someone who has actually done leadership work on the ground in Iran, not just spend his whole life whining about his birthright and being a tool for fascists.
I swear to god I get menaced by assholes in cars every single day worse than this.
Actually I didn't even make the connection but on my way back from protesting my local ICE facility last night (which you should all be doing by the way) dude tried to back up into me. I chose to just slowly move out of the way (and flip him off of course) but I guess according to DHS I should have started blasting instead?
Same exact logic the USSR used against Poland. Imperialism is always the same everywhere, sadly.
