Abbas Abdi: Jalili’s advisors no longer have privileges and are angry.
Abbas Abdi wrote that the advisor to the defeated candidate believes that 17 million voters for Pezeshkian imposed the costs of their ignorance on another part of society, and perhaps he is right in a way because these voters have taken away governmental privileges from them and they will fall into hard times.
The advisor to the defeated candidate insults the people for not voting for us and believes that those who voted for Pezeshkian are ignorant, childish, and lack reason, and that 17 million voters for Pezeshkian imposed the costs of their ignorance on another part of society.
What is the reality? In one word: chronic addiction to privilege. The more they used privilege in politics, the more miserable, weaker, and dependent they became. 60% of people did not vote, but this privileged group complains about why the scene wasn’t set so that we could win among this 40%. How degraded and reliant on privilege must a political force be that it cannot even compete at this level? Addiction is destructive. A drug addict experiences euphoria and calmness from using drugs, but the effects of addiction are temporary, and after the effects wear off, the pain and hardship become greater than before. For this reason, the addict is forced to increase the drug dosage to avoid pain, which leads to greater weakness, increased inability to endure pain and hardship, and ultimately greater dependency on drugs.
Chronic addiction to political privilege among radical conservatives is our issue, and a solution must be found for it. Ignoring it will not solve it.
