There are pro-government rallies and there are anti-government rallies. Because like any country, Iran is not a monolithic block in which all people feel the same about everything.
I still have contact with people in Iran. They are in a very weird state between happyness and terror. They mourn the senseless death of 160 children, they cheer for the long awaited death of IRI goons. They fear the bombs on civilian targets and are indifferent to bombs on IRGC and Basij sites.
"his government was defending the people of Iran from Israel and the US" is propaganda in itself. Just from a different government. I don't know where you live, but for the Iranians I've come to know, many of the things that I took for granted just aren't normal. Dancing in the streets, wearing whatever I want, eating in public during Ramadan, saying your government is shit - all of that carries penalties in Iran. Almost everyone I know there has had one or more members of their family beaten or punished for such infractions.
And now they are faced with choosing between two powers who both tell them: "We are liberty, we are self determination, just help us", while both of them just want to subjugate them.
Did I say that anywhere? Is it so hard to believe that people actually don't like the regime AND don't like being bombed? That people were fucking Happy about the old cunt kicking the bucket while being upset about children dying? Is that too complex a thought?
Khamenei and Ahmadinejad dying are the only good things that came from this war. If the IRGC manages to bomb Trump or Netanyahu tomorrow, I'd be happy too.
Not that I condone blatantly illegal wars or strikes, not that I think that killing 160 schoolchildren is okay, but seeing tyrants die sparks joy in my heart.
"Art should not be political", he said, thereby politicizing art.
Fucking imbecile, 90% of good art is political. Now go fuck yourself with a broom handle, du Produkt einer mit Kleingeld vergüteten Liebesbeziehung.
Biden was the elected president of the US. He held power over political decisions, just like the Kims, but unlike the Danish Monarch. Kind of defeating your own argument here.
Lady Dee theories are interesting, haven't read much about them.
Hm, how much Power does a family have that is venerated like a god and that can order the assassination of family members on foreign soil?
Surely the Kim's and the Danish monarch are the same
There is a difference between 4 shootings in a population of 340 million and 3.000 on 80 million. Now repeat that process every 5 years and congratz, you have Iran.
Oh, btw, don't forget that subtweeting the supreme leader with a "." can lead to years in prison.
I am aware, that this is a limited sample of Iranians. It's better than what most people on lemmy have.
