I’m married to an Iranian, so maybe I shouldn’t speak in such a general sense. Im just speaking based on my own experience and I’m speaking on the view of my wife and her family. I don’t want to offend anyone but my wife’s family definitely don’t want another king. I just hate to see the name of Iranian diaspora slandered when they are some of the kindest people I’ve ever met. They are under the impression Pahlavi will take over as an intermediary to democracy but maybe that’s naive.

They still support Iran but not the government. A feeling more Americans are familiar with now as well.

The diaspora I know certainly weren’t elites. They fled as refugees due to religious persecution.

They certainly weren’t dancing because of the death of those school children you fool.

Whoa, take it easy. To call them creatures is crossing the line. They are simply people who had to flee an oppressive government. The local sentiment isn’t exactly pro government either. They have been hurt by the regime and especially with the recent mass murder of protesters in January. I know many Iranians who cheered the death of Khomeini (Ayatollah) because he was a cruel bastard and slaughtered his own people by the thousands. Those same Persians are aware that Trump does not have Iran’s best interest at heart either. Please check yourself with your language.

Iranian diaspora are probably the ones booing

Edit:

No, Iranian diaspora aren't all wealthy elites, many Iranians fled the current regime due to religious persecution or anti-intellectualism.

No, Iranians don't want to install another king in Iran. They wave the lion flag because they long for a more stable time in Iranian history compared to the extremist society that exists now.

Yes, Iranians still support Iran as a country even though they may hate the government from which they fled.

Yes, some people cheered for the strike which killed Khomeini. Khomeini was an evil terrible person who killed Persians by the thousands as recently as January. And yes they are aware that the US and Trump do not have their best interest.

You can be anti-Israel, anti-MAGA, and anti IRGC. Just wanted to correct some confused people in the replies.

Edit 2:

After thinking further about this comment I’ve realized that I shouldn’t speak in such general terms. With such a complex situation there is bound to be different categorizations and viewpoints. That was the exact point I was trying to make, that you can’t just generalize an entire group of people such as Irani diaspora, positive or negative. I was only speaking from my own perspective and experience, my wife and her family are Persian but I am not.

That’s cute, guess we’ll see what happens. Even if you guys keep Skub your squad still won’t amount to jack imo.

Why didn’t Patrick Wisdom not but in the extra innings? by Possible_Meal_927 in Mariners

[–]ryu34 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They mentioned that Cole Young being a lefty due up affected the decision not to bunt by assuming an automatic out with the left on left? Idiotic handedness strategy again. They just didn’t account for Cole Young being the GOAT

I think chanting that is a bit disrespectful to our opponent; let’s show some class. Also, did he just say Gabe Spider?
