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

thanks man

I hope we can have close ties once again

like the times of the great Shah

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

isnt that where theres honor killings on woman?

wait what?

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

It's quite fascinating what a revolution can do

I'd call it a "devolution' lol

Most revolutions are devolutions.

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

Hi republicans

@Sherman VC Firefly not true

I’m not a republican

I’m a constitutionalist

I'm leaning Constitutionalist.

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

The french revolution

i guess i would agree that a lot are devolutions

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

but not most

but short term is not the goal of a revolution

True.

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

i mean

i dont know what revolutionaries expect

I believe a lot of revolutionaries are misguided.

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

Not all but certainly a lot

@Colonel Sanders™ Agreed.

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.

agreed aswell

that's why we see less revolutions in western nations

because people are hard to misinform nowadays

Indeed.

It’s too far gone for civility

but for example south sudan

that revolution was a fucking disaster

Violence and take over will be the only answer

not exactly
