That's only convincing if you ignore the mass rioting that happens every other election cycle when the popular liberal (relative to Iran, eg he still hates America, but thinks maybe women should be given more freedom) candidate who promises reform gets removed from the ballot.
Having seen the rioting and resulting crackdowns in person, it's absurd to say that the people are particularly happy with the state of things.
- tibbydudeza 3y agoLike Jan 06th in the US where a fairly significant chunk of voters still believe that the election was stolen ? I think there is liberal minority of young people but reckon the majority of Iranians were not happy with the Pahlavi regime either that the CIA engineered on them. And I did mention that the clerics needs to approve all election candidates btw.
- dotnet00 3y agoThanks for clarifying that you were only putting up a facade of being unbiased.
- tibbydudeza 3y agoAnd there is no such thing - but I don't live in the US so my perspective is probably far more balanced than most people here.
- dotnet00 3y agoCarrying water for tyrannical regimes while eating up the regime's propaganda and replying to any other information with whataboutisms doesn't make you balanced. It makes you, at best, a useful idiot. Not all too different from those supporting Russia's invasion of Ukraine citing Russian propaganda about how NATO was preparing to invade Russia.
