Here is someone that doesn't understand how Iranians think.
Here is someone living In Netherlands telling us how Iranians think. Your opinion isn’t any greater than mine living in Europe.
You can be a dictator, become a paramilitary maffia with billions of dollars, you can even shout death to America but atleast treat your own people good and with respect. Do not impose backward semit law.
Did the Shah impose backward social freedom law?
Did Mossadegh impose backward social freedom law?
Iranian people are nationalist by nature, this is what IRGC must consider.
So the gas riots were caused by hijab? Or was 2009 riots caused by hijab?
The issue isn’t hijab at all. It’s systemic. Hijab is just one condition of an massive problem.
The difference is that hijab problem can be solved in literally 1 day and will bring benefit to the economy and society, it will also bring more unity.
About Nuclear and missiles, at least 75% of Iran defends these programs, these are "namusi and gheyrati" issues. At least 80% defends IRGC-Quds activities.
One problem remains: economy, it's a deep rooted problem, but it can be solved/improved.
The hijab isn’t the issue. It is merely one problem of many.
Were the gas riots caused by hijab and dress code?
Like you correctly alluded…it’s the economy. If economy was amazing then people could accept certain restrictions. But when everything is in the dumpster someone has nothing to lose.
Who exactly do you think I am? Making all these assumptions about my viewpoints. I don't give a damn about Mossadegh. If chaos continues in the streets and it disrupts the economy, I expect the armed forces to intervene either in suppression or coup. I don't just expect armed forces personal to feel indifferent to the problems of society. They are not robots.
What disturbs the economy is the mass strikes that have been happening over pay and economic strangulation.Which everyone here was blind too (conveniently). Suddenly one person dies and everyone finds a moral compass.
Asking for basic social changes and reducing corruption is forbidden? because it is considered appeasement? What kind of government operates like that. These are basic requests.
The underlying issue is the economy. Not hijab. Not dress code. Not corruption. Corruption happens in every country it’s not iran specific. But when people’s stomachs are hungry the smallest things (gas price increase, hijab, etc ) break the camels back.
People have been tolerating poor economic situation and hardship for years, and then you throw backwards laws ontop of course they are going wild.
Finally some correct words from you
Only because of these backwards laws they shout against Soleimani and the IRGC, if not they would be proud of them and their acheivements, but when women are beaten and thrown into a van, they curse the whole system.
Lol the Syrian war was pretty unpopular in Iran until the rise of ISIS. All the protests about feeding Palestine and dying in Syria you guys missed that during your rah rah Iran moment.
They were tearing down Solemani posters the night Iran shot down the civilian airline. Or was that hijab related as well?
I understand this concept of appeasement, but are you actually going to defend mandatory hijab and unequal laws for women? I know you think these rules are stupid and add on to the destructive nature of sanctions of 5th column enterprise.
I am saying things must be done in a correct manner. If every time someone burns tires and sets fire to police stations you appease then the next riots will be because of economy (too late gas riots) or for another social issue. Eventually it will be for removal of religion or the Islamic republic itself. Then what will you do when the liberals make up most of parliament? This is what I mean things must be done in correct manner.
I support a referendum for voluntary hijab. Give it 5-10 years then another one for voluntary mantoe if all goes well.
You guys act like Liberal Americans that want to defund the police because statistically speaking out of tens of thousands arrests a handful of people died during them.
How many times has Iranian dress code police arrested people in last 5 years? Let’s say tens of thousands. How many known cases of deaths have there been? 1? 5? 10?
You need to punish the officers not the entire government. Would be like punishing Congress for a police officer getting trigger happy in the USA. It’s absurd
