Unsurpisingly, they're also blaming Amerikkka and the Jewsquote:Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Monday protests over the death of a woman in police custody were plotted "by America and the Zionist regime" rather than by "ordinary Iranians," in his first comments on unrest that has swept the country since September 17. Also, Khameni alive? Not really clear since it's all based on state media reporting.

Every one of those girls is so loving cool. Just to double check: there is no way to help these people a bit from outside, right? I want to smash a help button with my wallet, but cant think of one.

I'm wondering if conceding the hijab issue will be enough to disarm things or if it will just embolden them more edit: rereading his tweets i don’t think he’s conceding the issue at all PIZZA.BAT fucked around with this message at 22:42 on Oct 3, 2022 |

PIZZA.BAT posted:I'm wondering if conceding the hijab issue will be enough to disarm things or if it will just embolden them more Most of historys revolutions are people being extremely mad about one specific policy or event, the guys in charge standing firm, opportunists and people with grievances then making everyone mad about the policy be mad about other things and the guys in charge then conceding in the policy after the protests have become about everyone who’s ever been mad at them about anything ever. Doesn’t mean the regime won’t win (I think it’s likely since I don’t really see them having a limit to their ruthlessness) but it’s going to end ugly nmw now.

Yeah there’s a protest song that’s been played often at all the events i’ve been to and it’s not just about the hijab- it goes over all the grievances the people have with the government and there’s a lot of them. The hijab issue is what kicked things off but just like how it wasn’t JUST about the one woman being killed in custody it’s also not JUST the hijab. I’ve asked a few Persians about this and they agreed- it’s way past the point where just that one concession will be enough to satisfy them.

It's a small gripe, but maybe don't generalize Iranians as "Persians" (though I guess everyone you spoke to might have been)? Persians make up 60% of the population, and Persia is only a specific region in Southwestern Iran, the country is not Persia nor are all of its people Persians. The woman who was killed was Kurdish and the most significant demonstrations and clashes have been in Iranian Kurdistan, and abroad it seems the Iranian Kurdish diaspora have often taken a leading role in solidarity protests as well.

Also, at the protests in the Baloch and Kurdish regions the violence of the Iranian government has been much more brutal, with the army shooting into crowds and bombing border areas

My girlfriend’s hometown is where this all kicked off and she refers to herself as Persian / Kurdish interchangeably. I’m well aware that the Kurdish region has been receiving the worst of this. Two of her friends are arab-Iranian and they refer to themselves as Persian as well. Maybe it’s just something they say to ignorant foreigners but i’ve never picked up on any of them taking issue with it

MarcusSA posted:Social media people. It’s not a wrong take but it’s certainly incomplete. Before these protests started I regularly heard about them talking about how insane food prices were getting back home and how hard it was to get any sort of well paying job unless you went into oil. Just like if you said these protests were ‘just’ about hijabs it’d be incomplete as well. I also haven’t read the article so idk. If they were saying it was JUST economic factors with no mention of hijabs then that’s pretty terrible reporting but it’s also the NYT, what do you expect

Maybe it’s just something they say to ignorant foreigners but i’ve never picked up on any of them taking issue with it I guess it might be a host country thing, I don't think I've ever encountered "Persian" used much either by or referring to Iranians in Norway, but doing so seems more common in Canada and the United States and possibly the Anglosphere in general. Still I'd say that referring to the country and inhabitants in general, it's better to use Iranian than Persian, because there is a difference, even though anecdotally the use case might not be as clear cut among (in this case) the Iranian diaspora itself, a thing I'd again hazard to guess might have to do with the words that are used in the respective host countries' languages.

if we're still chatting about how this is getting covered in the states...i mean NYT had this weird article out over the weekend about how protests aren't working anymore across the globe, concluding with:quote:While it is hardly the case that mass protests now necessarily fail in today’s world, their plummeting odds of success may have ripple effects beyond even the decline of democracy. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/30/world/middleeast/iran-protests-haiti-russia-china.html

Persian is the predominant ethnicity within Iran, which is itself a very ethnically diverse country. People identify as Persian because... they are Persian. That's what they are.
