I understand how bad the world order when the USA can do whatever the heck they want is bad, but we can’t act like the Ayatollah is a martyr. The power is always bad, not exclusively when it oppresses us
He is a martyr, objectively. Does that mean the Iranian government is “good”? No, but he was murdered by the US/Israel, knowing full well the risks to his own life. Now Iran is in a war of national survival, so it isn’t just pro-government people but also the fence-sitters who will consider him a martyr. The hard-core opposition will increasingly look like quislings as the nazi pedophile forces indiscriminately bomb Iranian cities.
We are not here to play moral game
