Dude, Khatami and Rouhani are still alive, what the everliving blaze are you on about?
It’s just complete ignorance of the Iranian political system and at some level, a buy-in on the media’s relentless anti-Iranian propaganda.
Far be it from me to defend a theocracy, or Mullahs, but…wait, I won’t they’re horrible.
However, Iran’s theocracy is far less insidious than the Gulf Monarchies, so I guess it’s better by default?
Oh, and no candidate is allowed to run unless they are signed off on by the Ayatollah, so there’s that caveat as well.
More and more I feel we just transported the worst of reddit to lemmy. All the crap, none of the painstakingly built community
Yeah… Well it’s easy to transplant. All you need to do is show up in comments and reproduce the culture. We all know it. Some of us are even amused or comforted by it.
Whereas building up for example a niche community takes concerted effort, mostly thankless, over years.
Still worth it ofc
