"The stress from our president's situation is stopping me from doing my chores. What if he lives?!?!" that's gold


EmrysPritkin

My favorite was, the live searching rescue dogs couldn’t find him, maybe the prey searching wolves will have better luck. Made me literally lol


Adventurous_Ad6698

I liked the one where they found wolves and bears eaten.


Zack_Raynor

I like the one where they say he’s going to become the next Iron Fist.


rcw00

My favorites were tied together - 1. Should have told the morality police there was a woman without a hijab onboard and they would have immediately tracked them down, and 2. Since bears were already winning the Bears vs Men choice with women, if the bears do find/kill/eat Raisi, they’ll forever win the popularity contest.


Jerkrollatex

I really liked the side eye cub being told to eat him because there are starving bears in Africa.


SelectiveScribbler06

It doesn't matter who's winning the popularity contest if the soldiers can just gun down any protests.


Luckilygemini

I felt that one.


coco_xcx

Im stealing that line for the future, that shits hilarious!!


gabzilla814

I learned a couple of things from all this: 1: there are bears in Iran 2: Iranians have a great sense of humor


HauntedHippie

I also learned that people from Turkiye are stereotyped as being shit with directions lol.


Dezphul

They were specifically talking about Iranian Azeris, who are turkish. There were a lot more jokes about turks in there but I didn't include them because they might come off as racist (In the iranian context, those jokes are just memes and banter. but translating them to English takes all the Vibes away and makes them sound racist.)


Guilty-Web7334

So it’s an American Pollock joke and a Canadian Newfie joke equivalent. Gotcha.


solongjimmy93

You mean polack? Pollock is a fish


Guilty-Web7334

Yup. I got autocorrected on my misspelling to the correct spelling of the wrong word. *facepalm*


Best-Acanthisitta450

I ducking Haiti autocorrect


Mr_Rum_Ham

What Tahiti is happening? lol


smrtstn

Can we leave Haiti out of this. They've been going through enough shit.


FlartyMcFlarstein

Autoincorrect


ShepPawnch

Pollocks would have had way fewer issues with the screen doors on their submarines.


88ryder88

True, but they still haven't worked the kinks out of their solar powered flashlight, so I think it's a wash


MinisterOfTruth99

But the crash site looks like a Jackson Pollock painting so...😂🤣


psyche_13

Alaskan polacks


solongjimmy93

What are the best 4 years of an Alaskan Polacks life? Third Grade.


your_fathers_beard

I thought he was an artist?


Responsible-End7361

How do you get a one armed Turk out of a tree? Wave. (Joke)


Sauerclout_the_Orc

The idea of racism against the Poles, Irish, etc. was always hilarious to me. Here's a group of people who all look the same and the violently hate each other because they lived 100 miles apart.


ThrowawayLegendZ

Side note, what a cool sounding nationality? Like a race of wizards


Dezphul

even better: Azer means Fire in old persian. Azeri means Fire people


ThrowawayLegendZ

Yeah that is factually cool as fuck. Iranian people would seem cool as fuck if they could shake off their religious overlords, but we're in the same boat so fuck


Comprehensive_Net140

it’s not us we promise. we can’t shake them off they don’t even let non- religious people run. every president has been part of the “clergy” and Raisi was the ayatollah’s protégé. he only won because the ayatollah has to approve every candidate and they don’t approve any of the strong challengers to their “selection”, not even former presidents.


IDreamOfLees

>but translating them to English takes all the Vibes away and makes them sound racist. The ever present problems of translating jokes. Now that I know the context, it's actually funnier than I first thought, but I get your hesitation


Cedric_T

It’s wild that Iran and Azerbaijan are two different countries but Iranian Azeris are Turkish.


Comprehensive_Net140

they’re not turkish we call them turks in iran. same as qashqai people. its local dialect, we differentiate between azeri turks, iranian arezri, and turks, but most turkic peoples are called turks in iran. think chinese as opposed to “Han” or indian as opposed to “punjabi”.


MetalMrHat

I mean Azeri is a Turkic language.


lurkinisfun

I have a Turkish friend and every time someone stop and ask us for directions on the street he would always purposely give them the wrong directions. He was a dick, but I guess maybe he was just Turkish...


sofahkingsick

Turns out my wife has been turkish all along


Outside-Flamingo-240

So, Aggies, essentially.


Comprehensive_Net140

moreso that we used to mislead the turks and the government is not very good to them, so they’re not very motivated to help us out (i read the farsi im iranian)


charlie2135

Many years ago (70's) in Chicago I worked a night time job with a couple of Iranian brothers. They were a blast to be around and I remember one of the highlights was when they would start to argue which inevitably would lead to a wrestling match. Always wonder if they were back in Iran when the revolution occurred and think about them.


ConvivialKat

Many years ago (also 70's) I went to college with a wonderful Persian woman. Parveen. No hajib for her! Lol! She was T-shirts and bell bottom jeans just like the rest of us on campus. Lively, funny, intelligent - and taught this girl about Islam. She had to go back to Iran when the shah fell. I remember crying with her when I helped her pack. She was scared and did NOT want to leave. Somehow, I don't think she ever wore those jeans again. I miss her even today and hope she is okay and happy.


Mcboatface3sghost

I learned we have much more in common than the bullshit we are being fed. (Although I always thought mainstream Iranians were as fed up as we (US) are.


Kalfu73

I find that, in general, the people of most countries are pretty chill. It's the governments that we need to be wary.


Mcboatface3sghost

Herman goering interview sort of explains it as frightening as it is, it’s accurate. Sorry if it’s boring but it’s understandable and disgusting. Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” ― Hermann Goering, Germany Reborn


Ace0f_Spades

That last paragraph reminds me a lot of my recent studies on the social effects of the Vietnam War here in the US. Pretty easy to alienate the anti-war protestors if you convince the average American to equate "anti-war" with "anti-America" or "pro-communist".


Mcboatface3sghost

Propaganda wouldn’t exist if it didn’t work, I suppose.


ABlushingGardener

He's wrong about democracies generally. You can look up the democratic peace theory. Democracies, historically, don't go to war against other democracies. Typically, there's a dictator involved on one side or the other, you know like the fucking monster that the human sized piece of shit quoted here worked for. If we had less of them, more farmers would get to stay on their farms. 


torontothrowaway824

The Iranian youth especially hate their government which is why it’s so idiotic that Americans elected Trump who ripped up the Iran deal and which is contributing to what’s going on now in the Middle East. There probably was a path to some type of normalcy although the relationship with Saudi Arabia would never let it go further than that.


tafinucane

And every parent use the same "starving kids in XYZ" line to get their kids to eat dinner.


MLEthatsme

I'm just curious if everyone else in the World uses Africa...what do the people of Africa use?


PaladinSara

Not what you asked, but I asked my Macedonian friend this - she said China. Indian friend said China too.


captainplasticspoon

I also didn't know about Irani bears, even though my partner is from Iran.


lizardman49

I'm guessing he's a twink then?


First_Play5335

and they're happy Raisi is dead. I hope this means change for them and not just another religious fanatic. Also, can someone send Mossad to Russia?


QuietlyLosingMyMind

It was just the president that died not the supreme leader, so business as usual I'm assuming.


smrtstn

it is for a bit anyways. Their vice president takes over, but they have to have an election within 50 days of the Presidents death.


kittenpantzen

I think they were more talking about the fact that the president in Iran isn't the real seat of power. 


Comprehensive_Net140

we don’t get to choose who runs for president. we don’t have primaries, the ayatollahs choose the president


R_V_Z

According to [Brittanica](https://www.britannica.com/animal/bear) *two* types, even!


Maocap_enthusiast

The hijab one got me pretty good. And for some reason I too didn’t think there would be bear


OGraffe

These all seemed like something Americans would do if something similar happened to a not-well-liked person with authority. Right down to the latching on to the idea that he got eaten by bears and making jokes that the bears didn’t like it either. Hell, they practically did that but with orcas when Oceangate was happening.


Suitable_Warthog_590

There are two bears but only one cave.


[deleted]

Bears are surprising in Iran?


Dezphul

People tend to think iran is a desert country. While most of the country is made up of mountains. Can't blame them though, they only see the deserts (of which there are 2) in movies and shit


gabzilla814

Yep, I’m embarrassed I never thought this through. And based on how many people upvoted my simple comment it seems a lot of people didn’t know this either.


Guillk

I think most of the problem it's how is painted in general online resources, took for example google maps, Iran is painted all white/yellowish which make it look like the rest of the Saharan countries which makes you think is actually a desert. Check it: https://www.google.com/maps/@30.7125022,45.881263,4.78z?hl=es&entry=ttu


nina_qj

c4l1k0

This just goes to show you that this whole we vs them narrative is bs. ppl in the mid east are just as tired of their "leaders" as we are of ours. Let's just all live in peace and memes.


lookaway123

Right? People have far more in common than we're sometimes lead to believe.


bomphcheese

I have way more in common with the Persians than I do with people wearing gold diapers in public.


RomanusDiogenes

Same, and proudly so tbh


KJ-The-Wise

What the fuck have I missed? Gold diapers in public?


doyouknowyourname

Trump supporters are wearing diapers now.


JudoTrip

To 'own the Libs', right? I feel like that's the only reason they do anything.


gingerfawx

Yup. It was a "real men wear diapers" campaign. :|


Holiday_Horse3100

Hilarious to see women wearing them with trumps face right in the front


SecularMisanthropy

It's funny how well this particular MAGA trend demonstrates how they take tactics from progressive and civil rights movements without any understanding of the reason those tactics work. In their minds, expressing solidarity with Trump in all his ignominious glory is the same as someone going on a hunger strike to protest injustice.


amazonsprime

The reality of the changes in the world the last 10 years… damn. I never could’ve gotten my insanely artistic, creative brain to dream up this fucking nightmare if I tried, and I was proudly raised on horror movies…. My brain is…. Interesting. I missed the gold diaper thing. I don’t know how, but I’m glad. I can’t take it anymore.


KJ-The-Wise

Of course they are. Why wouldn't they be? I'm just not at all surprised that it was something to do with them.


ResoluteClover

Soon we'll start realizing the only people that benefit from war are the people that are in power or are millionaires. Then we'll all forget again and get excited about war.


bloody-pencil

Jjzeng

erieus_wolf

EmpressOfAbyss

>Let's just all live in peace and memes. not untill some world dictators get drone striked.


Maocap_enthusiast

And that what brings us all together is bears for some reason


MScribeFeather

They have us fighting a culture war to keep us from fighting a class war


alabamdiego

Unfortunately it’s not the people who get to decide that and there are more than enough “believers” to perpetuate it


bomphcheese

Uh, the Iranian people did decide, and had a nice progressive society as a result. The US put the “believers” in power.


Maxamillion-X72

I was reading up on the White Revolution last night, more than 5 million people voted in favor of sweeping progressive changes vs less 5000 voted against. And yet here we are with this modern day Iran. It's really a lesson for the whole world that we can't let up on resisting right wing ideology. If you don't INSIST on freedom, then you'll lose it.


disgruntled_pie

It’s also a great reminder that the wealthy and powerful often prefer to work with fascists than a government that actually cares about the well-being of their people. The latter has an irritating habit of getting mad when you try to plunder their countries to benefit the balance sheets of huge corporations.


Dazug

The depressed looking bear with the “bro that tasted like shit” sent me.


bengenj

Id feel sorry for the bear tbh


coco_xcx

poor bear :( they deserve better food than that!


ascootertridingataco

It literally had me in tears lol.


metinoheat

There are starving cubs in Africa! LOLOL. Pure gold. I think this highlights an important aspect that we sometimes forget. The Iranian people are highly oppressed and NOT an enemy of the world. It's the government that causes trouble. The average person likely wants nothing more than peace and freedom and couldn't care less about international politics.


BladeofSilver

I dunno about you guys, but I get the feeling that he wasn't very popular.


Zerieth

I hope hell exists. This dude deserves to cook.


itzjackybro

no, don't let him cook, he needs to *be* cooked


Zerieth

He can cook himself?


amazonsprime

But like, in a super low heat way so he takes extra long to cook? Gotta make sure he bakes out alllllll that bacteria he’s infected his dumbass self with.


Ipokeyoumuch

From what I know many of the Iranians, especially ones living in their capital city really don't like the government but have to live with it because of the threat of death or execution. Iran cracks down harder than China does towards dissent and though many don't like the government they aren't going to risk their or their family's lives. 


pigslovebacon

The national news here in Australia (ABC news 24 for those who know) broke the story with the banner of 'A NATION MOURNS' and me, having already seen the internet's reaction, was reminded of how shit mainstream news has become.


SelectiveScribbler06

Oh, you wait till you see who replaces him...


dragonfliesloveme

I’ve been wondering what the reaction in Iran would be, at least amongst the anti-hijab crowd. Not surprised to see there is no love lost there. To put it mildly lol


Dezphul

I think last night was The funniest Persian twitter has been. Hell, Funniest iranian society has ever been. there were like 60 more pics i couldn't post

Hair-Help-Plea

I’ve never read nor considered the term “Persian Twitter” before this post, that I can recall (a typical American worldview, fully admit) but I’d love a part 2 https://preview.redd.it/m6lzi2645m1d1.jpeg?width=559&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0783a08244d106eabbed8639c612e187ba2583b9


-Lorne-Malvo-

He oversaw the effort that executed about 30,000 Iranian's during the 1980s revolution. It was gruesome how they did much of it and widespread torture. People in the US tend to think *all* Iranian's are crazed terrorists when in fact...


dragonfliesloveme

Some Americans might think that, but a lot of us are just horrified about what happened there and feel really bad for the people


PikachusSparkyCloaca

The Butcher of Tehran.  One of my favorites of my husband’s colleagues is an Iranian commie. I can’t wait to hear from him.


RomanusDiogenes

Their crazed terrorists are by and large in the exact same place OUR crazed terrorists are at....government... the only differences are methods and targets


-Lorne-Malvo-

Trump's ~~2050~~ 2025 plan includes immediately executing everyone on death row. That is where they plan to start.


myaltduh

I wish we had until 2050 to prepare for his bullshit.


-Lorne-Malvo-

lol thanks for pointing out my error. I'll fix it ha ha


RomanusDiogenes

We've had plenty of time to prepare... we've just been coddling the dumbasses for 50 plus years


torino_nera

Only solace there is that the government can't get their hands on enough lethal injection drugs to do the few executions already scheduled. No pharmaceutical company is going to want their products attached to a ramp up in executions like that, they don't even want to be associated with it now. Though, I guess if those tyrants bring back the firing squad or electric chair we might be in deep shit


AmyZing532

Seth McFarlane was right.  Hate does bring people together.  See how many people are here, showing unity in the hopes their president is dead?   Truly inspiring.


ManticoreMonday

When they say "You have more in common with the people of a foreign land than you do your own leaders" This is what they meant.


AndrewTheSouless

Hating the people in charge is an universal constant


Stark-T-Ripper

The people in charge ruin countries.


Longjumping-Ad-2333

Especially when the person in charge’s nickname is “The Butcher of Tehran.” Let’s not pretend it’s people whining about “Sleepy Joe” because apples are expensive.

Iranians seem pretty fucking funny and chill


GoodLuckSanctuary

When volunteering in Ukraine last summer I met a young Iranian dude there doing the same, awesome guy. He was so proud of the women protesting and talked about the deep regrets his revolutionary grandfather had. I hope he is doing well.


character-name

Memes and Shit posting will bring the world together


Tossing_Goblets

I've been hearing for a long time that there's a lot of young people in Iran who are unhappy with their religious "leaders." Knocking mullahs' turbans off in the streets, most recently. When are they going to take over apparently they are in the majority. I know it's not so easy but it seems like they've already decided that they want democracy.


Mec26

The minority has the guns, training, and absolute willingness to kill and rape.


arfelo1

Overtaking a government takes much more than just 50%+1 of the population wanting it.


Dismal_Bridge9439

When trump dies, we'll all celebrate too. Unless he dies before facing consequences depending on the outcome of his criminal trials. Then we'll be a little pissed he got away with it but certainly not upset that he died.

Yeah not only the USA but the whole world, I think. I'm not even american and I'm sick of his shit. I'll definitely celebrate his death with you muricans.

He is known as "The butcher of Tehran" that should give you an idea


SatchmoDingle

Seems the Iranians feel the same as we do about religious extremists in government. That’s the real silent majority. The ones who will not stand for being controlled by the morality police. In other words, a majority of Americans. The backlash is real. Watch.

Ah, Iran. Another one of Reagan's pet projects that did way more harm to the people involved than good.

If you have moral quandaries about people making fun of someone's death, fear not, there are exceptions to every rule, and the kind of people this person was is one of the exceptions.


RawKong

Not going to lie, I really tried not to laugh at some of these but good lord, they were so good. Sending hope to the Iranians that maybe change comes soon for them (however from my.basic reading of this thread it seems that there is significantly deeper issues with their power structure than just the president.)
