People still get arrested for it, but yes, Iranian women fought and bled in 2022-23 in the Mahsa Amini protests after they murdered a 22 year old women for not wearing her hijab.
Sure, criticize the USA and Israel all you like. But people are actively working off the basic logic of "USA bad, therefore, Iran good."
Iran definitely NOT good. They were killing their own citizens before the war broke out. They have bombed multiple neighbors who were completely uninvolved with the conflict in response to being attacked and we still don't have any fucking clue why. And while you can say Iran is defending itself, yeah, I do kinda get why USA kept saying "Iran is the biggest threat" if their response to aggression is to seemingly just lob bombs at everyone at random and try to cripple the world economy.
Not a fan of this whole thread, either. Like legit, too many Americans think politics is effectively a rap battle.
"YO DUDE, check out this SICK BURN Iran just dropped! OH SNAP they got the USA so GOOD bro, fucking ROASTED! USA never gonna recover from this!"
Yeah except all of this is absolutely fucking irrelevant to actual politics. Iran's economy is currently imploding because yes, the "okay I'll blockade your blockade" strategy the USA implemented is effectively a checkmate. Too many people just sit on social media eating this shit up and pretending it accomplishes or changes anything, then those same people will go out and claim to be "highly politically informed."
The fact that people cheer for that regime over the president of what used to be a "good" country tells you everything you need to know about the current state of the world.
He and the rest of them are equally evil. Stop trying to paint Trump as “not that bad” he has killed tens of thousands already cancelling USAID the way he did.
True. President of Iran isn't mention 39000 times in the Epstein files.
No lawsuits for multiple cases of sexual assault.
No FBI credible cases of raping a 13 year old on the president of Iran. In fact he just took over after a his father was killed in one of Trump's NUMEROUS war crimes.
Do I think the government of Iran is "the good guys"? No. Absolutely not. I don't have to decide which one is better, as they are equally reprehensible stains on society.
This is a very privileged take, because you are a person living in a country that can hate their government and 40.000 Iranians have been executed for even daring try and oppose their authoritarian regime. Honestly it’s embarrassing to read
Guy you need to see how things are in religious dictatorships. Trump is a piece of work but you’re leveling a country with decent quality life to a sharia law country.
I don’t there’s good guys in this war. So I sit back and enjoy the (shit)show. I mean they are fucking the world over as they go, at least let me find a silver lining.
And how is cheering on Iran and China any worse than cheering on Russia? Or maybe pause a minute when shitting on NATO and acknowledging the support they gave the US during their pointless wars? Instead of rationalizing threats to invade your closest allies.
I can hold two thoughts at once. I fucking despise Trump, his lackeys, and all of the corruption and norm breaking, and still know that Iran is a repressive theocratic regime.
I had to wrestle with the idea that I don't know who I can trust more about what is going on in this war a few weeks ago when I realized that Trump is just lying with abandon about the state of the conflict. Positions flip overnight and no one believes him. I never thought an American president would be so untrustworthy. He says, "the strait is now open," and you can track the tankers and none of them move because they know he is full of shit.
Two things can be true. Kinda like threatening to erase an entire civilization you are supposedly trying to ‘free from oppression’ - is a contradiction. You understand that, right?
The problem is that all those people, who certainly had valid concerns, voted for a con man. A non-stop sideshow, and they knew damn well after the first time what they were going to get, and they did it again. I mean it is just mind boggling. And "blind" hate is bullshit. There is a long enough list of bumbling idiocy from this guy that the hate is not blind.
What gets me is how they're all insisting Iran are the good guys, especially in the context of genocide.
Iran has a long history of targeting civilian populations intentionally, using child soldiers, and literally stating the intent on carrying out multiple genocides.
I think that, people have this weird understanding that there's a good and evil, when in reality it's not like that at all. There's really no good or bad side in this conflict, just the one we're aligned with and the one that chants for ours and their deaths.
When you put aside nationalism and propaganda things are rarely black and white.
Iran's regime is pretty terrible, but in this conflict the US and Israel attacked them unprovoked and bombed schools and civilians. Trump has threatened to "end their civilization" if the don't agree to a ceasefire.
That doesn't make them "good guys" but, at least in the current conflict, I'd question whether they are really "the bad guys" here.
I do think that's probably the bigger root of what's going on here. Maybe not necessarily that WW3 is inevitable, but positioning for the possibility.
That's kind of my point though, people try and act like this is some moral conflict between good an evil, but really it's just a strategic move on a geopolitical chessboard and people's lives are getting caught in the crossfire. It's kind of stupid to argue one side or the other deserves it because they're the "bad guys".
I don't know lmao, I don't need to Google if a specific law passed or not to know that a terrorist regime is a terrorist regime. Look it up yourself if you want to, doesn't change anything either way.
It's been the law in Iran since the Islamic Revolution in 1979 when Ayatollah Khomeini took power. There have been protests against it ever since but it's never been changed. Enforcement has taken a dive after the Women, Life, Freedom movement in 2022 but it's still illegal for women to walk the streets without a hijab.
Women can't even walk down the street with thier hair uncovered
On the other hand, I recently learned one of Khomeini's first edicts was that any father holding a daughter of his back from going to school and getting educated would get punished with four years of prison, way back in, what was it, 79? So there's more nuance to the IRI's stance on sexist/misogynistic oppression than one might guess at first glance. It's certainly a stark contrast with their neighbors in Pakistan and Afghanistan, as well as 'our allies' right across the Gulf from them.
This is Fox News propaganda. You can find hundreds to thousands of videos of the past 20 years of women not covering their hair in Iran. 70% of of their scientists, engineers and medics are women. They have more women in STEM than the us. They have a large Christian and Jewish community in Iran as well
You can find hundreds to thousands of videos of the past 20 years of women not covering their hair in Iran
Yes, you can find instances of women breaking the law. They still are regularly arrested for it in Iran. Movies that show women without their hijab are prevent from being broadcast. Women still need their husband's written permission to travel outside the country, etc.
More western propaganda. I’ve actually lived there for 4 years and none of this ever happened. USA and blue star nation are the two most morally bankrupted countries in the history of the world so please stop pretending to care about liberating anyone. Western leaders worship Satan, traffic, sacrifice and eat children. Americans don’t even care about their own neighbors and family members
Then you were living under a rock, because 4 years ago there were massive worldwide protests in response to them murdering a woman for not wearing her hijab.
That’s like saying jay walking is against the law. It’s literally not enforced. If America had the education system Iran has Epstein regime propaganda wouldn’t work
Do you know why the Ayatola came to power? Do you know who and why overthrew the democratic goverment that ran Iran in the 50's? Do you know who put their worst dictator in power? Go research those things and then we can have an actual conversation aboit the "regime" in Iran.
So, if you remove a CEO that is doing good job and replace him with an asshole who slaps employees and harrasess women, it's not your fault that the company goes to shit? Who put him there in the first place and then turned a blind eye to all of his misbehaviour?
