You may be misreading my post, I'm not celebrating his death, only questioning why leftists are seemingly mourning his death outside of the impacts it could have to Iran
My point was seeing it as something like the death of Putin on a smaller scale: aware it will cause internal and external political ripples which could be bad for the people but not someone we should be mourning
Go ahead and find any other president out there who has firmly spoken out against the Zionist entity like he has and shown as much support for the Palestinians, and who have actually executed military strikes against the occupier towards that end. That alone is respectable enough to make any sensible person feel bad to see him go.
I can understand that, but I'd be surprised to see an Iranian president who didn't speak out against the entity
He didn't do jack. He was a machine politician sock puppet, anything Iran did came from others, like generals, the political party, and Khamenei
Maybe, before I just read it like you were taking everyone reflecting on the timing of this and Iran's unusual place as a reactionary govt put in a broadly progressive position in the international struggle, especially the decolonization of Palestine, as making a knee jerk reactions here. Especially with the way you're casually feeling out how amenable this chat is going to be to Iran regime change posting today. (Genocide's still going, try again later.)
I would imagine people are disturbed by this because he was a man who many see as an ally in the Palestinian struggle for decolonization even if they disagree with him on hundreds if not thousands of points which would be deemed heretical in Iran.
People are mourning? I haven't seen it; even on Hexbear it's more of a shrug and "no helicopter" jokes
I'm not mourning his death so I cannot answer your question, sorry
Why did you mourn Matt Christman when he never did anything other than do drugs and rant on podcasts? Not to echo the contemptible Drew Pavlou...
🤔 Well until I check that he is neither alive nor dead in superposition
