@mattyglesias But that needs to be done. Buzz Bissinger’s a Prayer for the City delves into this necessity. A progressive who does not want to challenge corrupt and bullying public service unions is not a progressive.
@BillAckman He could have been more clear about not supporting the current regime but you’re a troll, Bill. You just launch into the most extreme interpretation of everything.
@NYCMayor Populist revolutions often replace one autocracy with another. So maybe something about the corruption of the Shah and despite the populist intent of the Islamic Revolution it has morphed into an authoritarian theocracy that you do not support either.
@NYCMayor You can make the argument the war is illegal but many Iranian New Yorkers oppose the current Iranian regime and might welcome this action. So I’m a little confused by ur statement… it needs more nuance. Can u clarify?
