    40 people got crushed at the funeral and we get this kind of post

    Some guy on cable news, so it must be true, said that Iran Revolutionary Guards went door to door to "ask" folks if they would be attending the funeral


    You may have missed it but a million Iranians took to the streets to protest against the Mullahs late last year. 1500 were brutally murdered and 7,000 imprisioned

    Omar probably cheered along with AOC

    You didn't see much coverage of it

    Close friend is Iranian/Persian and still goes back there. Current trip was literally just cancelled.

    She said almost everyone at the funeral is paid by the state. Basically, you want your fuel subsidy? Neat, get in line and go morn this motherfucker who imprisoned and tortured his own people. Very Lenin-esque shit. She also said that most of the Iranians she knew were happy he was dead but wanted nothing to do with either revolution or war with the US.
    Had to say basically this to my MIL the other day. She was up in arms about the number of people supporting his funeral. I showed her the video of North Koreans fake crying and she chilled out.
    As mentioned elsewhere it wouldn't even surprise me if the ayatollah is making a big deal in public while using this as an opportunity to consolidate power behind the scenes. For all the cloak and dagger shit that goes on it may have been part of the clergy that leaked the location of their dearly departed guard leader to US assets in the hope that he'd get smoked.
    I saw that move on Sons of Anarchy.
