Okay. And who decides what constitutes a “threat to society”?

And you know that about 10% of people are wrongfully convicted, right? Is it okay to kill 10% innocents to “keep society safe”?

The death penalty probably doesn’t work. And talking about who “deserves” the death penalty is once again just lust for vengeance.

the leftism leaving peoples body when talking about prison abolition

no, but honestly, violent revenge fantasies don’t help anyone, not the victims, and for sure not society. That goes for prison rape especially (as you correctly put it), but same goes for assault or other forms of punishment.

Keep violent people like him away from people they could hurt, sure. But never give up trying to reform them into compassionate members of society. And if punishment is really something needed to put one’s mind at ease: The worst thing that could happen to him is he gets better as a human being and has to live with the consequences and guilt of his actions until the day he dies.

Wait, what? Seriously?

An (absolute) monarchy is by definition an autocracy, and a monarch an autocrat. And we don’t know whether he wants to rule as Shah or not based on his statements, because even if he did, it would be in his best interest to deny it and promise democratization. So again: trusting an autocrat at their word, especially if they are promising to bring you democracy if you just let them take the reigns first, is foolishly naïve.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reza_Pahlavi,_Crown_Prince_of_Iran

Investigations by Haaretz and TheMarker reported the existence of an Israeli-linked influence network aimed at shaping Iranian public opinion and promoting Pahlavi as a potential post–Islamic Republic leader. The reports claim the network was operated by a private entity funded by Israeli government resources, used artificial intelligence, and relied on fake online accounts, particularly Persian-language profiles. The network allegedly recruited Persian speakers who reposted content from Reza Pahlavi.[99]

Whether or not he claims so, he’s pro-US and pro-Israel so they are pushing hard to restore the monarchy. Any support you see for him is likely astroturfed

Edit: besides, trusting an autocrat who promises to “transition to democracy at some point in the future” is the stupidest thing one can do during a popular uprising

The west is really pushing for the Shah to take over, huh

There were some reports from Arak that workers started taking over factories. But no, what gets reported are some fringe monarchists.

Btw, the Iranian communist party talks of 600ish dead and 11000 arrested. Those seem more believable numbers. Protests seem to still be ongoing on a large scale, I hope they bring down the Ayatollah regime. All power to the workers!

eww, go fuck yourself

And blockades are universally considered an act of war

(eject) (israel)

(verb) (noun)

He absolutely can do it. He’s not allowed to do it, but rule of law has gone down the drain. The USA are back to the divine right of kings, now

Just fucking start collecting the existing taxes on wealth

They are in the law already, they just haven’t been collected in over twenty years

They might not be “the good guys”, and their secondary objectives are despicable, but their first objective is an end to the occupation, and they certainly are a resistance group.

mille, not mile. mille means thousand, so “per mille” means “per thousand”, just as “per cent” means “per hundred”. so 10‰ is 1%

Those terms have clear, defined meanings and they only change because Americans have no idea what they’re talking about

Bernie is a social democrat, or maybe a democratic socialist, depending on the day

Nah that was an animal

The first settlements were established in 1909, and the 1920s/30s were full of Zionist terrorism, bombings and massacres by paramilitaries

Don’t worry, they destroy it soon after

Two, no?
