This is a golden era, and Iran lacks the capacity to pivot.

The propaganda that was fed to me and fucks older than me, was that everything in the middle east is bad, except for poor besieged Israel, little island of democracy.

As in, good enough fuzzy logic for even an atheist who doesn’t give a shit about what patches of dirt are considered sacred.

So clearly, that bullshit doesn’t fly anymore, and Israel has chosen to let the mask fall.

If I was Iran, id take an abrupt and transformative swing towards secularism and democracy. A callback to pre revolution times.

I recognize how ludicrous, difficult, and/or unwanted this might be, but doing a shitty job of it would look fucking amazing in contrast to the backdrop of the absolute savagery of Israel.
