Wasn’t he pretty involved in the suppression of women? All I’ve read is that he generally wasn’t well liked by any group of the citizenry of Iran
I can understand people feeling concern for Iran’s people and trajectory during a tumultuous time like this, but I don’t think anyone should feel bad he’s gone. He wasn’t a good person
That an interesting way of looking at it. If you can find any purity argument for why a politician wasn’t progressive (he wasn’t btw) then it’s a good thing for them to just go up in a fireball. Politics by process of elimination! Say, Yemenis invited Jackson Hinkle to a Zoom conference. Maybe they should go die, too, because they’re more backward than you and the removeds got to them first! Hell, my favorite Burkina Faso reporting account randomly veers into Christian grimposting about gay people (me).
Just ignore all context for why people are nervous about this in the first place (Iran is playing a critical role in breaking the illusion of US hegemony and this could even be a pointless assassination)! Woo hoo! Billionaire down!
It’s not like this is going to make the political situation better in Iran if you view it that way. Now he will be memorialized for dying in the midst of a great struggle.
You may be misreading my post, I’m not celebrating his death, only questioning why leftists are seemingly mourning his death outside of the impacts it could have to Iran
My point was seeing it as something like the death of Putin on a smaller scale: aware it will cause internal and external political ripples which could be bad for the people but not someone we should be mourning
Go ahead and find any other president out there who has firmly spoken out against the Zionist entity like he has and shown as much support for the Palestinians, and who have actually executed military strikes against the occupier towards that end. That alone is respectable enough to make any sensible person feel bad to see him go.

I can understand that, but I’d be surprised to see an Iranian president who didn’t speak out against the entity
