I wish I had the patience to go and post this in reply to every tankie I've seen today defending the "honour" of this piece of shit in the name of Iranians who they've convinced themselves they can speak for (yet somehow never speak up for their best interests, only in defence of their "great leaders" interests, curious.. 🤔🙄).

Yeah, western tankies especially can be very weird. Meanwhile, the actual communist party of Iran has nothing good to say about him.

Quote:

The only regret of the people of Iran and the families of the survivors of the horrific crimes committed by the mercenaries of reaction and tyranny, over the death of Ebrahim Raisi, is that the opportunity for his historic trial in the not-too-distant future has been lost.

I've found a lot of Onion headlines pretty mid and uninspired recently, but this one is aces. No notes.

I saw the crash site in an aerial photograph and it looks like a big scorch mark. As if the devil reached a burning hand up out of the ground to personally invite them all down to their final destination.

Actually, Iranian courts put a moratorium on stoning to death over 20 years ago, and the practice is still legal in American-allied Saudi Arabia.

Yes indeed, what about the US.

Will the zealots and their goons consider this a message from Allah, that their ways might be wrong?
Nah!
