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.. ๐ค๐).
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.

Right, and they call anyone who disagrees with them, even actual communists, "McCarthyists" ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Seriously though, anyone who sees any reason whatsoever for communists to support the Iranian government mustn't have a single fucking clue what communism is about.. They're a fucking joke (if only they didn't go around giving leftists such a bad name)..
That's a fantastic, and not at all surprising piece of information though, thanks for sharing!

Let he who is without sin throw the first helicopter.
Fucking legendary.
I've found a lot of Onion headlines pretty mid and uninspired recently, but this one is aces. No notes.
They've been going pretty hard lately, it's great
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.
Really, no links?

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