We should do what we can to support Iranian moderates.
There's a reason they won the crusades. They're fucking crazy.
You said Iran doesn't rig elections. I pointed to an example of just that. Was it as bad as Zimbabwe? Of course not. But using your argument, there shouldn't be a problem with Zimbabwe's approach, as they just have a different system of government.CameronPoe wrote:
Are they being hacked at with machetes? Are voters having their identities mapped prior to voting? I think not. They are having their voting choices curbed. Quite different from the case with that old hatchet Mugabe. It was their popular Islamic revolution and that was the system of government they came up with. Mugabe feigns democracy and stacks the cards with force. Iran just have a different system of government. Apples and oranges.

Iran don't purport to have a western-style democracy - they have a 'democracy' that caters towards an Islamic Republic, the result of their popular revolution with the clue being in the name. Zimbabwe purports to be a democracy. Iran ultimately is a kind of theocracy, like the Vatican.FEOS wrote:

Pretty much... Rammunition has shown his fascistic leanings before, and you have rightly called him out for it.God Save the Queen wrote:

The question mark at the end of my sentence in post 59 infers a question was asked. I also highly observantly noticed you failed to answer it.
