The featured video at the top of this article is very bizarre. Demonstrators set fires in the street in Tehran, but there's barely anybody actually in the streets.

Way more people attended the pre-planned government rallies today, which funnily enough were planned to commemorate the government's crackdown in 2009.

Before the current Iranian government was the shah, a corrupt poo poo head ghost everyone hated and still hates - is that the era of prosperity wilner is referring to here? When it was the literal puppet of an foreign power? Its like she's reason from a script. "Before the horrors of <insert government name here>, the nation of <insert nation here> was a Prosperous Country with a <select out as applicable> Rich/Diverse/Free Culture/Society."

Hey guys, I'm taking a break away from the forum to take care of other things in my life, I'll probably be back in a couple of weeks but with the Iranian protests happening I just want to give my 2 cents:- Emotionally speaking, I'm glad the iranian govenrment is getting embarrased like this, gently caress em. However, coldly speaking, I just want to warn you guys against getting over-hyped, remember, unlike american allies, the media landscape (which absolutely includes the social media companies in the US) have a vested interest in hyping and portraying any social movement and protest in Iran as the end of the Iranian regime. What I suspect is going to happen is a coordinated media and social media hype train to make it seem like the ayatollahs are on the verge of collapse for the next few weeks, a disproportionate amount of attention and promotion is going to happen for them in a way that arab civil society protesters can only dream of. Is there going to be quite a few protests over rising food prices? absolutely. what I'm doubting for now is whether this will be the kind of absolutely massive protests like the one in 2009? maaayyybe depending on how things go over the next few days, but even with that, people genuinely thought the green movement was the end of the ayatollahs, but what it turned out was the Iranian regime was INSTITUTIONALLY much more resilient than people suspected, this isnt the first social upheaval or riots or whatever in the last 30 years the Regime had to deal with, because they have a series of vertical institutions that are 100% with the regime, the military, the religious establishment and several sectors of society are tied with it. The reason why that country isnt as prone to complete collapse the way arab countries are is because the regime has vertical institutions in multiple sectors of society that would have to either be neutral or go against the regime for the ayatollahs to come down, in other arab countries, there's only one institution or one person really that's the obstacle to change, so if that's compromised the whole thing comes crashing down. but in the cases like Iran, I think several major institutions in the country would need to be brought down before any major setbacks for the regime occurs. So I dunno what's going to happen in Iran for the next few days, however I am absolutely convinced that we're in for a really hyped up and crazy amount of media and social media noise that might make things seem like a bigger deal than they are. this isnt the first rodeo the regimes been through, so we might either see a fizzling out or a reform package handed or a stomping out that quiets things down sooner than people would like it to. Still it's good that the Ayatollahs are getting a taste of what they've been suppressing in Syria, it's a real shame though that nothing like this is on the horizon soon in other arab countries or for the palestinians, and even if it was it would absolutely not get as much attention.
