I'm only guessing, and the Saudi religious police may indeed be out of favour, but I massively doubt it is becoming more secular. More likely we're looking at the dictator's big glitzy urban centre that he wants to turn into a tacky shithole like Dubai, where attractive international party boys and girls are kicked influencer money to stand around in swimsuits as extras for the lifestyle of the elite.

Toxic Mental posted:Just gonna say it - theocratic oligarchy shouldn't be tolerated! No that's imperialist, you have to respect that other people have other cultures, and by other people I mean a few thousand senile priests and bumpkin clan patriarchs who have the right to poo poo on everyone and everything.

Also Iran has a coherent national ideology, a sincere if evil political class, and would like to preserve itself as one of the leading non Western powers in the world. It can't do that if it goes on a free for all rampage gassing and bombing its own cities. Syria is a desolated Russian puppet and Assad doesn't give a poo poo as long as his mansion gets its regular caviar delivery.

Do Iranian police and paramilitaries all live in barracks? Or do these people have to go home to houses and families among the proles where they can be reasoned with / intimidated?

We find out if the upper middle class and their goons have been sufficiently decoupled from society to be willing to kill tens of thousands of people in metropolitan areas where they won't be able to avoid witnessing it

Yeah sure let's get the UN human rights commission involved, one of them might be fined when they're 80. Or you know, find them out of uniform and asleep and to be blunt perform a vigilante murder. Unless they're making like Egypt and building a boondoggle fortress city for the military and elite

Of course we'll do nothing, anything else would be an Imperialism and it is the sacred right of every sovereign geriatric boys' club to kill and maim within its own borders. That's what peace is!

I mean is it better - by which I mean a higher chance of success for the dissidents - for things to de-escalate and carry on as extraction of concessions, civil disobedience and intimidation of local officials? Because it seems there's no hope of winning an open fight and neither the regime nor the protestors want to have one. That said I'm absolutely not one of the quisling bastards pontificating that the Iranians/Syrians/Libyans just need to spend another generation or two in slavery because they're ~not ready~ for democracy.
