And β€˜feminism is demonic’ as well. He’s obviously no fun at all.

everything was hunky-dory until 1953. that’s when shit truly went sideways, after Mossadegh broke the eleventh commandment β€” Thou Shalt Not Fuck With Big Oil β€” by nationalizing Iran’s oil industry. our CIA and Britain’s MI6 got themselves worked into a Big Mad over this, and engineered a coup that overthrew Mossadegh and turned Iran back into a monarchy, restoring Reza Pahlavi as the Shah.

the thing about the Shah of Iran is that he was a repressive piece of shit who was hated by his people, and his fuckery led to the Iranian Revolution of 1979 β€” and that’s how Iran went from being a repressive monarchy to being a repressive theocracy. meet the new boss, yadda yadda.

that’s why we’re in this mess right now β€” because we couldn’t leave well enough alone 73 years ago.

did you know Iran used to be a western-style democracy, with an elected prime minister? but then one day in 1953, the CIA ousted him in a coup, and restored the repressive and corrupt Shah to power β€” that's REALLY how this mess all got started. you can read all about it in my post: bit.ly/4lfWn7c

I just spent $60 Australian on this magnificent seafood feast for three people in An Bang, Vietnam - oysters, clams, prawns, beer and cocktails, looking out to sea.
