@timkmak You aren't so naive to think there won't be another ayatollah, are you?!
@KraftTea “after the Ayatollahs”
@timkmak Judging from Venezuela and what Trump told journalists today, we should expect essentially the same people in charge as before, under Sharia law.
You may know that, but I'm just putting that out there, so that nobody is surprised when the hopes for democracy are basically betrayed, and when ICE picks up the level of deportation of Iranian immigrants to live under sharia law.
A 40-year-old former animal rights activist from Tehran, Arman had joined thousands calling for the end of the Islamic Republic.
They chanted:
Death to the dictator.
Death to Khamenei.
#Iran
Flags with a lion and sun, the flag of #Iran before the 1979 Islamic #Revolution, waved alongside depictions of the former Shah’s son, Reza Pahlavi. Arman held one straight above his head.
Long live Reza Pahlavi.
@timkmak It doesn't look like the monarchy was such a democratic leadership.
"Republican fossil fuel fascists want a puppet like the Shah, who will violate human rights wholesale, but turn a blind eye to the looting of its oil wealth."
