lol, pro-regime protests are being passed off as anti-regime and there's a video from bahrain in '11 (and a few from latin america) being circulated as iranian protesters making GBS threads on the regime. someone also posted a picture from an iranian movie where a woman is kicking riot police and claimed it was from the protests. this is a poo poo storm to wade through.

Yadoppsi posted:Are you in country spaceships? What's your take on what the protesters on the the street want? Is there a unified call to action or are different regions protesting different things? i am not, but my pops is. it's hard to figure out whether or not there's actually a unified call to action, but the common thread everywhere is the economy, that much i can be almost certain of. it's incredibly hard to decipher the information coming out, between the blatant lies from regime change propagandists and the regimes own propaganda. the amount of lies and disinformation circulating social media makes me wary of the actual situation there, and there are some things i just can't figure out; why are certain hardliners in favor of the protests, in the same vein as neo cons, the MEK and the people who genuinely want reforms. no one really knows anything and i'm slowly but surely losing my mind.

word is a good portion of the protesters were ahmadinejads base during the election and his presidency, but it's nothing i can confirm one way or the other. e: which kind of makes sense, they've clearly not done well under rouhanis economic policies, what with unemployment still rising, too spaceships fucked around with this message at 17:25 on Jan 2, 2018 |

just got off the phone with my pops in iran, he's rather hopeful about all of this going forward. he believes the current and older generations of mullahs are a lost cause but he sees a new, younger generation that are more than willing to engage with reforms and more secular rule of law. regardless of how westerners understand secularism, iran is still a religious country, and even those who call for secular reforms are proud shi'ites. he's making a distinction between protesters calling for economic reforms and are unhappy with rouhani and the government, who have been largely peaceful through this whole thing, and the protesters who are breaking poo poo, most of whom, he assumes, are the same people who were violent during-before-and after ahmadinejads reign, there are some red threads there, he says. he also talked about outside provocateurs, but i'm not sure how i'm gonna weigh that just yet. unless the IRGC gets involved, he's optimistic. if they do get involved, he's pretty sure it'll end in a bloodbath e: i asked him if he was out throwing bricks too and he said "no, the revolutionary guard beat the poo poo out of me in '79 and i'm too old for such a beating now." spaceships fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Jan 2, 2018 |
