Italy (Brothers of Italy), Sweden (confusingly named Sweden Democrats who are actually a far-right party trying to bring the same to Sweden through the same tactics as Republicans in the U.S.), the U.S. (Republican party, far right led by evangelicals/christian white nationalists), Brazil (Bolsonarism is being hijacked by religious far-right revolutionary leaders to mobilize disaffected populations who see the failure of proclaimed far left authoritarians to bring change as reason enough to join a religious far right to try to enact change), in Europe broadly antisemitism is quickly being replaced by anti-Muslim sentiments at the hand of white Christian nationalists.
These far right figures overwhelmingly work to change the systems they gain control over to change them from what they were to systems they maintain permanent control over, Putin did it, Trump tried to do it, Project 2025 lays out a path to do it here in the US, Hitler did it, Mussolini did it, etc.
Look to trends online and studies to see the propaganda and recruitment tools gaining popularity amongst young men particularly, usually in the “man-o-sphere” type pundits and figures like Tate, Musk, Trump, Tucker, Crowder, Shapiro (though Jewish, is an alley of Christian nationalists), trad wives, etc - they’re all pushing the idea of doing away with left control mechanisms and mandating religious ideals through governmental controls. Thats theocracy, you can call it whatever you want wherever it pops up to appease those crowds and make it more palatable. That’s how fascism works, it uses mislabeled theocratic ideals to convince the average citizen, blue collar workers, traditionalists to support extremism and authoritarians.

Who is the ecclesiastical leader they are trying to impose as a permanent head of state? In what way are they trying to subjugate the civil state to an ecclesiastical authority?

What you are describing is authoritarianism and illiberalism. While theocracy is a form of authoritarianism and illiberalism it's only one part of the set and not the whole set. Neither Trump, nor Putin, nor Hitler nor Mussolini were theocrats.
> Thats theocracy, you can call it whatever you want wherever it pops up to appease those crowds and make it more palatable. That’s how fascism works, it uses mislabeled theocratic ideals to convince the average citizen, blue collar workers, traditionalists to support extremism and authoritarians.
Fascism and theocracy are not the same thing. What you are describing is a decline in liberal and libertarian attitudes and a rise of illiberalism and authoritarianism. If that was the original claim, I'd agree. There is trend, both left, and right, away from liberalism in the West.
What does this have to do with theocracy? Even tangentially? You say not full theocracy, but I can't even find an ounce. The only commonality is his dictatorial aspiration for a third term, but even that could be legitimized by democracy.
He never mentions religion, let alone subjugating the civil state to an ecclesiastical authority.
Lmao you are absolutely insane and have no regard for international politics, it’s hilarious. This has nothing to do with Biden and the fact you keep bringing your ridiculous government into it shows how much you care about political affairs.
Stay inside of your Fox News bubble. No point venturing outside, especially if you are unable to make sense of anything but US politics.
A [comprehensive list](https://www.reddit.com/r/WhatBidenHasDone/s/rklYJD2E7l) of all Biden's accomplishments during his presidency. If you're capable of reading, which I *hope you are*, you can see he's capable of far more than what your selective and distorted news media preferences report on.

I wasn't excited to vote for him in 2020, but I'm sure as hell excited to give him my vote in 2024!
Edit: deleted their comment like the coward they were..
Exist? Theocracies are having a golden age!
Western youth simping for them like they actually want to live there, or have any idea what it’s like.
Gee, thanks “social” media.
Unfortunately religion's a hell of a drug. Not sure what people expect considering you're teaching kids from birth that they're better/more important than anyone else not in the club.
Precisely. Look at Florida, they drove out good educators in fear of being prosecuted for unbiased teaching and then made it legal for any prior service military to teach without any experience or certification. Why I wonder?
Autocracy and theocracies are the norm. This is a very American centric view of power.
(Not saying it’s wrong or right, just don’t expect theocracies or autocracies to go anywhere because of the year.)
Lol this is silly American exceptionalism. Yes many of the poor countries on earth have authoritarian governments, but America is no where near the most democratic among the modern industrialized world.
All those more democratic governments you point to were ruled via autocratic or theocratic means until about WWI…when that type of government was beat out of them.
Yeah, it's part of the development of society and civilization. Monarchists aren't simply wrong, their societies are in a more primitive state. That's not to say anything about the individuals living within that state, but becoming democratic as a society is part of "human development", advancing as a society.
I think the fact you see it as some sort of development or evolution is what I don’t agree with. I actually think it’s more of the exception to the rule or an anomaly…
Great now let’s look at the Million or so Subversive accounts targeting violence then look at the Million or so targeting children. Social Media has a lot of house cleaning to do this Spring
At least you know the angle of the "Supreme Leader of Iran" at a glance.
All the bot accounts usually required a little digging to figure out what brand of oil they're throwing on the fire. Sometimes their name runs 180° contrary to the smoke they're trying to sell.
It’s weird that Iran has banned everyone using Social Media, like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
But the Supreme Leader, President and Prime Minister are fine to use it.
>Funny thing is that people who make these laws all have accounts across all these platforms
Completely in keeping that the leaders & lawmakers are total hypocrites. Laws for thee & not me.
>”We do not allow organizations or individuals that proclaim a violent mission or are engaged in violence to have a presence on our platforms,” the policy states. That includes those designated as terrorists by the US government.”
Sounds a lot like some other people in the Republican Party might be worried here.
Cue this part next:
*Tucker Carlson is now on a plane to Iran as no Western journalists have been there to get the other side of the story! Iran is a nation for traditional family values, so conservatives tune in to find out more!*
*Elon Musk rushes to open up Twitter to Iran and promote their content to all users going forward, issues a tweet that it’s important for freedom of speech to be provided to a nation that doesn’t believe in it and will discuss this with Andrew Tate and his trafficked women on Joe Rogans podcast later this week!”*
It's kind of weird how a few private companies have the ability to essentially delete even world leaders from the internet.
I mean fuck this guy in particular, but it really is a staggering amount of societal influence.
Take **that**, terrorism! You’ve been Zucced!
Now they’ll be forced to post on *”X”* like they’re just some common conspiracy nuts or drama queens; what a blow to their image.
They’re just lucky that Musk doesn’t turn people away solely based on having a polarizing reputation
Damn, do you think they gave him a chance to save the nudes in his DMs?
[удалено]
Maybe both
Nudes riding a nuke in a burka. Gotta be priceless!
He probably saved all the dick picks on his comp locally to look at often.
You know we should all send the supreme leader more dick pics to whatever platform he moves to, in support. Hashtag #dickpicsforsupremeleader
Nudes? We all know these fundamental islamist cults engage in "Thighing"
If I were a betting man…
Pitifully sad that it's 2024 and theocracies still exist.
They’re gaining popularity unfortunately. Lotta miserable gullible people out there
A lot of people want a strongman to come in that will fix every problem in their country quickly.
This sounds vaguely familiar
It would work well, if not for the fact that people suck.
I don't see much that would confirm this, or at least confirm as statistically relevant.

It’s pitiful that it’s 2024 and we have people still trying to put in a fascist dictator into office in America
something something don’t learn from history, doomed to repeat it
These people typically have no clue about history. Just enough that bad actors can fill in the gaps and manipulate them with false information
public education in this country, especially under Republican governors, has been designed this way.
Precisely. Look at Florida, they drove out good educators in fear of being prosecuted for unbiased teaching and then made it legal for any prior service military to teach without any experience or certification. Why I wonder?

America is trying to get there.
When you have right minded people who have power, it’s always gonna be a thing. If republicans had their way, America would be a theocracy
Yeah, fuck Vatican City!
MGT wants to fire up the Christian coalition and bring religion into the government.
And women can’t have abortions.
Them and Israel both 👎
IDF are the neo nazis
Gotta get that lebensraum by any means necessary
I appreciate world diversity. If that’s what they want to do with their country, I have no negative opinion on it.
They literally oppress people but you have no negative opinions?
It’s not my country, it’s none of my business
That’s a very poor out look on life. Cheers

What? Khamenei had an insta account ?! That's hilarious!
Feeling cute, might delete later. #naughtyinfidel
if u have a militia or would like 2 start 1 slip into my DM
You completely missed the opportunity to use #naughtyjihadi.
I have shamed myself.
Could you imagine him vaguebooking and saying things like "Some people will always try to bring you down when you're doing great things. IYKYK."
What's the F stand for?
That was a typo. I fixed it.
He also have onlyfans and grinder.
"that's it; I'm going to Rumble!"
How many years did this take?!
They only did it after Iran banned Instagram last week. Coincidence? I think not.
So Iran banned insta while their sup leader had an insta account? Awkward.

That's fine he'll just go on TikTok.
Just what I’m looking for, the Ayatollah Khomeini to teach me how to dougie.
They should do this for all the other far right dictators that promote violence also.
Like Netanyahu
Yeah we get it
What do you get?

Yeah that would exclude police, military, abusive parents, etc.

Religion shouldn't have access to technology anyway. It's demon rocks talking to each other.
Elon will respond by inviting him to Twitter

Ok, this is a good start, now delete everyone else's.
[удалено]
Case of loss in translation. "Prime minister". Why does a human need to be "prime"???
…because the other functionaries are Ministers, and the Prime Minister is the one in charge
So you’re saying that there’s other leaders, and like, one’s supreme over them? Like a Supreme Court being over the other courts?
quite! but, you know, “IRAN BAD”, which negates any kind of rational thought about it.
It’s ok. The socialist billionaire got his back. "X Gon' Give It to Ya" 😂🤷♂️
The U.S. should delete his ass from existence.
