This is like when there are two really bad gangs who decide to kill each other.

Ideally they completely wipe each other out.

I'll allow it. I may disagree with the ayatollah on most everything else. But here.

Yes let's speed run Vance's presidency and really crank this fascism thing into hyperdrive

I hear you and feel you (😉) but whatever you're hoping to celebrate will not be the end of this ordeal. The US as we knew it is gone and even we suddenly had ideal circumstances from this moment on, rebuilding is going to take WORK.

If they succeed, it’ll just mean 50 years in the desert for several cycles of poorly educated kids. Vance will step up. Rich people will prosper. Blah, blah, blah. Systemic change requires targeting the keys to power, not the shape of power. Donors do more damage, imo

sounds like you've given up before anything has even happened. why don't you go to bed?

Gullible@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 214d

If pointing out that there are infinitely better targets in a complex system is giving up, then my job is giving up.

I may or may not have a bottle of Cuban Rum I’m holding for a special occasion

It's only "chilling" because I know it's not gonna happen.

Idk, from everything I've seen in the last year, the women of Iran have way more balls than americans.

sartalon@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 214d

You are not wrong.

But those women aren't the ones making the threat.

Now now... political discourse, it's not like one nation can just call out a bounty on another nations leader and assasinate or kidnap them without severe political consiquences... any nation dumb enough to set that precident would have no leg to stand on when another nation tries to do it to them right?

I’m willing to allow it in this case.

Don't you promise me a good time.

Grimy@lemmy.world · 25 pts · 214d

Is it possible to add to the bounty? Is it like a GoFundMe?

I don't know if Iran is holy/brave enough to kill the Antichrist.

Eldritch@piefed.world · 2 pts · 214d (1 reply)

One quibble he's one of many antichrist. And honestly just a figurehead one at that. They're gleefully doing what he said because they've always wanted to. Not because they respect or like him beyond that. So maybe Iran should widen that net....

shani66@ani.social · 0 pts · 213d

Trump specifically is, unironically, the antichrist. The prophesies uncannily accurate to him, especially if you take into account the visions would have had to be interpreted by some random goat farmer back when mud huts were high technology. It was almost enough to make me think the Bible has some truth to it after all. Almost.
