The funny thing I’ve been reading / seeing is that the paralympics are still ongoing.

The Olympic truce says no one will start a war during the 7 days before the Olympics and for 7 days after the Paralympics finish.

The US and Israel should be banned by the IOC from competing at the 2028 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games (even though the host country is the US).

It won’t happen though.

And of course the Trump administration/CIA already has his replacement lined up, and ready to install just like they did in Venezuela.

Who is Reza Pahlavi? A royal in exile, Iran’s youngest pilot, and a potential successor after Khamenei’s death

A good outcome would be if we could just get rid of all authoritarians instead of being offered this fucked up scale of “how evil is your authoritarian leader,” based on raw number of protestors murdered, unfair elections, and unjustified detentions (so far).

Instead, we’re supposed to be dumb enough to believe rank on this fucked up scale “justifies” another authoritarian overthrowing a regime with zero notice to their own government and completely ignoring rules of procedure, in the name of “freedom and democracy.” Oh, and they do it in the same week we found out they’re putting together an executive order to cancel our upcoming elections that could possibly take down their regime…

It’s like having two families, each with their own mentally unstable and abusive parent, (plus your parent’s dickhead boyfriend and all of his kids he’s doing a shitty job of parenting). Your shitty parent gets in a fight with another shitty parent over who is the worse parent. Then your parent and their dickhead boyfriend, murder the other parent in front of you and all the other kids. Clearly, they have absolutely no intention of doing anything to actually help the kids of the parent they just murdered, and are planning to loot their pockets after murdering them.

But for some reason, we (as in all the kids that just witnessed exactly what happen) shouldn’t worry about what comes next, because our “rockstar” parent has already arranged for “some guy” to take the kids in the other family, whether they like it or not. You know, because “democracy.”

We’re supposed to pretend from this day forward, that our collective memory of watching our insane narcissistic parent murdering somebody with their shady boyfriend Israel, after months of hearing them threaten to do it, is that our parent was the good guy who just did what needed to be done.

Because if we don’t pretend they’re a fucking hero, our insane authoritarian parent will give us something to cry about.
