What a coincidence! I bet Iranian soldiers were told this war signals the coming of Imam Mehdi with Jesus right behind him.

(I wish I was making this up. Twelver shias have a similar myth that’s taken very seriously.)

There are Iranian grifters with relatively large followings (they do artificially inlfate their numbers though) among the diaspora still making this claim. When they talk I just hear: “Bomb my family harder , Daddy!”

😂 I was* a slave when I lived in Iran. I don’t know a single Iranian that isn’t happy about his death.

Yes

Not completely useless. Iranians can use it to bypass the ridiculous number of sanctions western governments arbitrarily threw at them as those neoliberals pat themselves on the back for making the situaton worse. The dollar loses its centralization and I consider that a good thing.

Congratulations on killing Afghans for no reason.

Nothing about the Afghans they killed. Fuck them.

Canadian “leaders” are trying to fuck over our healthcare system too with privatization.

What if you read books on your phone? Gojo from JJK, Hollow Purple situation?

True. I wasn’t thinking of America.

Anything except going to therapy

Iranian monarchists like to pretend the Islamic Republic is leftist, then they repeat the same manipulative authoritarian behaviors in the same breath.

Don’t forget sanctions

No, they gave me unsolicited lectures about my life as though they were my therapist. I blocked my uncle after visiting him and his newborn abroad. I’d repeatedly told him to stop pretending to be a therapist and forcing me, my sister, and cousins into listening to him. Other family members have stopped by now.

I had to try really hard to stop my family from playing armchair therapist with me.
