Yeah, Iran seems much more glad to cut off internet to their people than Russia, I guess cause the latter would totally undermine it being all ok despite the mobilization.

Hah - there's an extreme hypocrisy (not that THAT is a major concern) in the Iran regime that supposedly follows Qu'ranic scripture and yet has images of their founders up as statues.

Well, blow me down. I though the aniconism was something pretty much universal throughout Islam. More the fool me.

I could do be wrong, but I don't remember the protests in 08 resulting in nearly as many deaths. This is horrendous.

Spoke with someone from Iran last night - apparently the mullahs are being compared to the Tyrant Zahhak of brain-eating-shoulder-snakes infamy. Can't argue against that comparison!

Pajser posted:This feels like Syria ten years ago, only there the army was pulled in right at the start and started shooting protesters, after which many soldiers rebeled which kicked off the civil war. With the reports of some riot police siding with the protestors, I'm inclined to agree. I hope to God we're wrong.

ekuNNN posted:lol gross I confess I would have felt better if it was "Mossadegh roohat shad", but as folk have pointed out, it seems to be more general rebelling against established norms. A person over here in Sweden from Iran was mentioning how more young folk tote icons of Ahura Mazda, I doubt this means there is a serious resurgence of Zoarastrianism due.

I wonder if Iran's latest all-in on supplying Russia with weapons is directly related to these upheavals.

DJ_Mindboggler posted:I've seen the term "lynching" used a few times now in descriptions of videos that just had public beatings. Is that a translation thing? So long as it is an extrajudicial killing, it's a lynching. Hanging is not ubiquitous to the act of lynching, at least literally.

Dapper_Swindler posted:yeah, i think they can't crush this. they are killing people in the streets and folks are still marching and fighting back. best case for the regime are either they pull a syria and kill so many no one can't stand against them but they end up in a much much much weaker place and then they end up setting up their fall in future. their other best chance is reforming hard but thats dead now. i think this ends bad for them now. I hope it ends bad for them - that it doesn't become another Syria.

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:Dumb history question. When Iran kicked out the Shah in 79, it was ostensibly a student revolution, right? How did a theocratic government emerge from that? The last thing I can I imagine a bunch of angry students arguing for is more religion in their lives. I also seem (and if this is wrong, please chastise me) to remember reading that it was a response to both the corrupting capital of the West which had for so often undermined Persia/Iran as well as to the secular threat of Communism. It was seen as an alternative that had never been truly tried, and would be specific to Iran?
