Fair though.

Well, only if they were able to identify him. It’s possible he escaped.

Is there actual evidence he was murdered? I mean I assume that’s what happened but I’m just curious what’s actually known about his fate if anything.

Are you kidding? They literally murdered Renee Good for protesting.

But I mean yeah the vast majority of protesters are safe so I agree with your overall point. But the way you wrote it can’t fly right now.

It’s fucking annoying. CA is a great place to live in a lot of ways but the car culture is so out of control it’s unbelievable.

CA dems sure love their EVs. So much they keep shoving money at them even though research shows we could make a greater impact with e-bike subsidies. Meanwhile they’ve quietly and without explanation eliminated those so they can put more money into EVs.

It’s all typos all the way down. I was actually trying to type a totally different comment.

for absolutely no reason

🤔

Easy choice for me.

If you haven’t been accused of being a terrorist in 2026 you’re doing something wrong.

What is the evidence she ordered people to be blown up? I didn’t see that skimming the article you linked.

Dude fuck off. Obviously they can do what they want. I’m just explaining why it’s a bad idea. Neither of what we think matters, it’s for Iranians to decide how they want to handle this. But if I were them, I’d pick literally anyone else.

It’s totally ridiculous to suggest that there are no leaders remaining in a country of almost 100 million. There surely religious figures, protest organizers, local heads of community, literally anyone would be better than a monarch. Or if there is truly no one then I have to believe a better exile exists who is not so clearly a Western puppet and with the same toxic baggage. Or, worst case, let there be no singular leader. The protestors can choose delegates for a council of leadership. Even no experience is better than such a dangerous outsider.

There no point in overthrowing the government if what replaces it will be no better.

I mean his only qualification for leadership is he’s a prince. If you can’t see that alone is a risk of reinstating monarchy I don’t know what to tell you.

Surely there is a better option, someone who has actually done leadership work on the ground in Iran, not just spend his whole life whining about his birthright and being a tool for fascists.

If you think the Shah will be any better than the ayatollah then you are a fool. It always starts out temporary with these tyrants.

Authoritarian leftist is an oxymoron.

US patriotism is fucking creepy as hell.

This is literally me 🤣

Well first was this guy’s ideology really distinct or is he just a fascist who talks about environmental issues as a post-hoc justification to make his objectively deranged actions seem more reasonable? And if he’s just a fascist I don’t think he need to take his justifications seriously by giving him a newly named ideology.

But I didn’t mean there are no singular eco-fascists anywhere on earth. There are 8 billion people on the planet so I could make up a mad lib ideology and chances are it’s similar to what someone somewhere believes. But I’ve never met one to my knowledge, not even online. There’s no organized push for this or political power behind it. The vast majority of fascists don’t give a shit about the environment and the vast majority of environmentalists oppose fascism. So the only time I see it mentioned is when people get criticized for discussing the impacts of human population.

I understand why it’s a touchy subject. Past racist policies used overpopulation as a justification for crimes against humanity. But that the human impact on the earth is proportional to our population is just a fact, and it doesn’t make you a fascist to acknowledge that. You’re only a fascist if you think that fact gives you a right to brutalize people, and, as I’ve said, I just don’t hear this from any organized or popular thinkers.

Same with oaks. Down with the splitters! Lumpers are the chosen people who will inherit the earth botany.
