Politics removed, I consider Iran to be one of the great societies of history and respect it for that.

2019-02-23 02:00:33 UTC  

thanks man

2019-02-23 02:00:41 UTC  

I hope we can have close ties once again

2019-02-23 02:00:50 UTC  

like the times of the great Shah

2019-02-23 02:01:23 UTC  

There is quite a lot in the way of that, I too hope we can re-establish friendly relations in the near future.

2019-02-23 02:01:29 UTC  

isnt that where theres honor killings on woman?

2019-02-23 02:01:40 UTC  

wait what?

2019-02-23 02:02:19 UTC  

@Obungus it's crazy how far apart we're now, not too long ago Iran was considered one of America's closest allies

2019-02-23 02:04:17 UTC  

It's quite fascinating what a revolution can do

2019-02-23 02:06:01 UTC  

I'd call it a "devolution' lol

2019-02-23 02:48:47 UTC  

Most revolutions are devolutions.

2019-02-23 02:48:59 UTC  

Or at least they have no visible positive outcome in the short term.

2019-02-23 02:52:15 UTC  

Hi republicans

2019-02-23 02:56:12 UTC  
2019-02-23 02:57:03 UTC  

I’m not a republican

2019-02-23 02:57:09 UTC  

I’m a constitutionalist

2019-02-23 02:57:21 UTC  

I'm leaning Constitutionalist.

2019-02-23 02:57:33 UTC  

@Colonel Sanders™ The American Revolution was an exception, yes.

2019-02-23 02:57:50 UTC  

The french revolution

2019-02-23 02:58:08 UTC  

i guess i would agree that a lot are devolutions

2019-02-23 02:58:09 UTC  

The French Revolution IS a Prime example of failed revolution in the short term.

2019-02-23 02:58:10 UTC  

but not most

2019-02-23 02:58:24 UTC  

but short term is not the goal of a revolution

2019-02-23 02:58:59 UTC  

True.

2019-02-23 02:59:12 UTC  

But for the short term, a lot of revolutions are failures.

2019-02-23 02:59:22 UTC  

i mean

2019-02-23 02:59:30 UTC  

i dont know what revolutionaries expect

2019-02-23 02:59:49 UTC  

I believe a lot of revolutionaries are misguided.

2019-02-23 02:59:54 UTC  

overthrowing the current social structure and government is obviously in the hsort term going to lead to chaos

2019-02-23 03:00:00 UTC  

Not all but certainly a lot

2019-02-23 03:00:06 UTC  
2019-02-23 03:00:40 UTC  

Maintaining the status quo is important. If one wants change, a violent overthrow is not the way. It is important to engage in civil discussions.

2019-02-23 03:00:53 UTC  

agreed aswell

2019-02-23 03:01:02 UTC  

that's why we see less revolutions in western nations

2019-02-23 03:01:14 UTC  

because people are hard to misinform nowadays

2019-02-23 03:01:35 UTC  

Indeed.

2019-02-23 03:01:48 UTC  

It’s too far gone for civility

2019-02-23 03:01:51 UTC  

but for example south sudan

2019-02-23 03:01:57 UTC  

that revolution was a fucking disaster

2019-02-23 03:02:10 UTC  

Violence and take over will be the only answer

2019-02-23 03:02:20 UTC  

not exactly
