Maybe, before I just read it like you were taking everyone reflecting on the timing of this and Iran’s unusual place as a reactionary govt put in a broadly progressive position in the international struggle, especially the decolonization of Palestine, as making a knee jerk reactions here. Especially with the way you’re casually feeling out how amenable this chat is going to be to Iran regime change posting today. (Genocide’s still going, try again later.)
I would imagine people are disturbed by this because he was a man who many see as an ally in the Palestinian struggle for decolonization even if they disagree with him on hundreds if not thousands of points which would be deemed heretical in Iran.
lol protecting the rich from jet tracking… of course
That an interesting way of looking at it. If you can find any purity argument for why a politician wasn’t progressive (he wasn’t btw) then it’s a good thing for them to just go up in a fireball. Politics by process of elimination! Say, Yemenis invited Jackson Hinkle to a Zoom conference. Maybe they should go die, too, because they’re more backward than you and the removeds got to them first! Hell, my favorite Burkina Faso reporting account randomly veers into Christian grimposting about gay people (me).
Just ignore all context for why people are nervous about this in the first place (Iran is playing a critical role in breaking the illusion of US hegemony and this could even be a pointless assassination)! Woo hoo! Billionaire down!
It’s not like this is going to make the political situation better in Iran if you view it that way. Now he will be memorialized for dying in the midst of a great struggle.
🤔 Well until I check that he is neither alive nor dead in superposition
