Iranian Protests

[Parsipride]

I Know the fan boys of the regime have tried to hide the discussion about the atrocities being committed by the regime's enforcers against unarmed civilians, but there is a simple question.These protests just do not seem to be subsiding anytime soon. Even if they manage to shut it down by wholesale slaughter of unarmed civilians, the fire under ashes will remain lit. In what country will the masses support a system that its law enforcement just smash the windows of a car sitting in traffic in broad day light?

Iran is certainly an interesting case. Mossadegh, who embodied the mandate of the Iranian nation was removed by the US. Puppet Shah was acceptable as he was subservient. When Iranian nation had enough of being slaves, a vacuum was created from within the conservative elements of society to move in.

Although I believe the Mullahs have the interest of their nation at heart, they need to start backing away from their hardliners and compromise with the people to bring in reforms, otherwise instead of consolidating power they will lose control.

These are just my observations as a Pakistani. As a person from a country where our military and politicians are slaves to the west, I can truly say that this is something you never want. Your freedoms are replaced with illusions of freedom and corruption becomes rampant.

Not to say the mullahs aren't corrupt. I have an Iranian friend here in the US that says the Mullah's kids live abroad and drive around in Ferraris. Same is the case with Pakistani politicians and army generals.

Yeah, doesn't look like it'll subside anytime soon. This is a new social reality in Iran, and unrest will be part of daily life. The IR of course insists on continuing this path, but we all know where that'll end up.

I have an Iranian friend here in the US that says the Mullah's kids live abroad and drive around in Ferraris.

Yes, this is true, although I don't know about Ferraris, but they certainly do live abroad many of them. I know, ironic isn't it. Of course if you say this aloud, you will be called "hypocrite" by them.

I don't care even if they drive with space-x starships

I just want peace and development come back to my country and the unnecessary riots end

People use this word "mullahs" quite loosely, and often in a way that does not reflect reality.

To begin with, in Iran the clerical body as such is not in power. A majority of clerics do not even partake in political affairs.

As for the government of the Islamic Republic, although its supreme authority is a cleric, and although other clerics are present at different institutional and political levels, there are obviously lots of non-clericals in official positions as well.

Quite tellingly, the Supreme Leader himself as well as his offspring are markedly modest persons following pious lifestyles, who inhabit very simple residences, and whom even the exiled opposition could never credibly accuse of having accumulated significant material wealth. A dissident like the "Green Movement" supporter and reformist Ata'ollah Mohajerani, who lives in the UK, came out and admitted publicly that despite his opposition to the Leader, one thing he will not deny is that Imam Khamenei has never been interested in enriching himself. The same held true of Imam Khomeini, of course.

Now those who do involve themselves in such practices, including a spate of corrupt elements, aren't clerics for the most part. Hence the term "mullahs" doesn't apply to them. Moreover, most happen to be from or close to the liberal factions (reformists and moderates), in other terms people who do not actually accept the legitimacy of the Islamic Revolution and are tirelessly trying to subvert and topple it from within à la Gorbachev.

Heshmat Ra'isi offered an extremely interesting analysis in this regard, noticing and discussing the paradoxical fact that in Iran, the richer they are i.e. the more they benefited financially under the present system, the more they tend to reject and oppose it. Likewise, the bulk of wealthy show business "celebrities" are hostile towards the Islamic Republic and spend their time echoing the enemy's counter-revolutionary propaganda through their "social media" accounts. Ra'isi correctly identifies the root of the discrepancy as cultural in nature.

I invite readers to listen to this, it's highly instructive.

Kicking him in the temple with combat boots. Children of the revolution getting slaughtered for what ? because they want a better standard of living and live a country that offers a future. When I first saw the video , I thought it was in the West Bank.

He's not wrong here, to be honest. The under 18s participating in the riots are largely simps raised on pornography and video games who think they'll get laid by joining "le wimminz cause".

The Islamic Republic shot itself in the foot by encouraging women to join universities en masse. Instead, they should have been reared to be homemakers but to present themselves as "developed", they raised a generation of entitled careerist bitches.

Consequence is, when you place a woman on the exact same pedestal as a man, she wants all the perks of being a man too, only to the detriment of womanhood.
