It's mind boggling to me that lemmygrad is the only place I've yet seen anyone show some sort of respect for a world leader dying in a violent accident. Everywhere in the media and online all I'm seeing is people glad he's dead. As if he's ever done anything to any of us to deserve that.
Wasn't he pretty involved in the suppression of women? All I've read is that he generally wasn't well liked by any group of the citizenry of Iran
I can understand people feeling concern for Iran's people and trajectory during a tumultuous time like this, but I don't think anyone should feel bad he's gone. He wasn't a good person
I don't know where you've read that but i think you're about to find out that that was a lie when you see the size of the crowds that will come out to mourn him.
Edit: And as i predicted: "Millions of Iranians rallied across the country to pay their final respects to the late President Raisi."
It was pretty recently after the crash so I'm willing to believe it could be sensationalism
I just want you to take a look at who else is happy that these people have died and consider if that is the same side that you want to be on.
Again, not saying I'm happy about it
