Even though it’s against main lemmy instances rules

https://lemmy.world/post/15596791 is full of people celebrating death

How is this possible? Even mods laughing at it

    It’s not the fact that they celebrated his death that is most important. It’s the fact that the people celebrating have no coherent understanding of who he was. All they know is “Media told me Iran bad. Iran bad means Iranian dying is bad man dying. Funny meme death of people I don’t see as human.”

    You can tell based on responses they haven’t read even a single article in full about anything even tangentially related to the man.

      Yeah, if anyone wants to do an effortpost explaining why I’m wrong to be uneasy about the death of a major leader of one of the few countries materially supporting the anti-imperialist struggle and a key partner for china and russia in the middle east, a country which has tenuous political gains being made with saudi arabia that further minimize the possibility of normalization with israel, i’m open to it. haven’t seen anything like that in that thread

      personally my default reaction ranges from yikes to check the helicopter dept for CIA

      probably best reddit debunker-tier take is sanctions killed him via shitty helicopter parts. there are concrete steps that iran can take there to prevent this.

      i’m guessing this helicopter flight was the only practical way to get to some mountain location and not just a joyride. they even have uber for helicopters here and in LA which is so stupid
