once again vestigial-tail of humanity, religion, rears its ugly head.
all religion is bday, mkay.
Iran is an insane unhinged country, I seriously wish we could help them and Afghans because the mess we left in Afghanistan is really heartbreaking to see
Yep. US foreign policy has been helping Islamo-fascism on for a long, long time now. Coups, invasions, funding, training… you name it, the US has done it.
The Taliban only exists because of all the arms supplies the US gave these extremists during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.
Also the Iranian Revolution (which wasn’t entirely Islamist in nature, but they were the ones who won the power struggle in its immediate aftermath - the liberals were out of the picture by 1980, while the communist opposition got finished off in mass executions in 1988) happened due to the unpopularity of absolute monarch Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who was stubbornly supported by the US to his last days.
And this has roots in the western-supported coup against Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953, who was a social democratic reformer.
It’s a story that unfortunately repeats many times around the region, and globally too.
Where the hell are Western feminists?? 🤦
I’m starting to think that ayatollah guy isn’t on the up and up. Been smoking those left-handed cigarettes if you ask me.
Religious people should be locked up.
