In the coming days we’ll see the course. Last year there were feminist revolts and protests, many women and girls were executed for them. It’s clear there’s still a divided political will, but the theocracy has maintained its monopoly on violence. If anything is going to change for the better it’s likely going to involve some assassinations

But it’s important to remember economic collapse doesn’t end a totalitarian regime. It weakens it, but so long as they can feed enough of their people for revolution to not be a matter of survival and they have the arms to stop everyone else it becomes a matter of their will and their ability to maintain internal control.

No. It’s a theocracy and he doesn’t hold supreme power. Revolution in Iran will be a bloodbath. The best case scenario would’ve been something akin to the liberalization of Spain post Franco, but that’s highly unlikely.

Theocracies aren’t known for their long term stability, but Iran is known for its being absolute hell to invade. The regime is likely to starve itself of something, be it food, money, reproductive labor, or skilled labor. It will be slow, turbulent, and ugly

If there is a hell may the demons tormenting him be women.

Yeah we’re a weird mix of terrible but mad about it. By all rights we’re supposed to still be super purple, but our state government is so gerrymandered we get punished for passing ballot measures.

Like that’s also terrible. Technicalities are either “the prosecution broke the rules” or “that’s technically not illegal”. You’re not supposed to be punished at all for those cases for good reason, it’s just that they can’t make you not have been in prison.

It is in America too. I had to debate shit like gay marriage in high school. We even have mandatory civics classes that teach you how the government works and my teacher told us how jury nullification works and why you should never talk to cops

Also university is exactly where politics is best discussed.

And the fact that they’re only so so. Like, airplanes are just better. Once we had the ability to make cargo planes it was over

Because a fat milf with body hair is lovely

What year and country am I in?

Russia, 1917.

Unfortunately that doesn’t narrow down much except really telling you to get anywhere else asap

I’m so happy I lost weight with vegetarianism. Only negative side effects were from the increase in fiber

And neither has xitter

Our justice system doesn’t have access to anti aircraft guns yet so we can’t do them with the fanfare y’all have

May the ayatollah suffer as he dies and any gods witnessing his death remind him of the pain he brought to the women of his country.

I stand with the people of Iran suffering under the boot of their evil governance

Ok, but as someone who’s seen a fair bit of drag Napoleon Dynamite looks like the drag persona, not Taylor Swift.

I remember absinthe as delightful but I don’t remember it real well

He died of a common condition that afflicted world leaders at the time: pissing off anarchists

But that does spare them from the ravages of guacamole and nopales

Eating pussy may be her most redeemable quality. Well it would be if she weren’t so predatory about it
