I'm not content warning this, it's just a in her underwear. Also, that would be irony

This is ’s Islamic Azad University on Nov 2

She was assaulted by 's because her was "improper"

So she just stripped

She was arrested and I don't think it will go well for her. Iran's weak, insecure, moronic hangups over 's clothing is vicious cruel and violent. They kill women for showing their hair. It's all so fucking stupid

@benroyce

Everyone else just stood around and watched, knowing what was going to happen to her.

@Mikal

i understand what you're saying, but it's not like they agree with what is going on. if they act up, iran would truck in basiji

obviously there needs to be change in iran and it needs to come from the people

and they've tried

a number of times over the last decade

all of it brutally suppressed

@benroyce

Oh, I know. That doesn't make it any less depressing to watch.

@Mikal

yeah

a bunch of people standing around while a human being is degraded, then assaulted and driven away

whatever the various reasons for the reticence, forgiveable or bad, the scene in and of itself is very depressing

@Gorfram @Mikal

the

they have murdered their fellow iranians many times before, and they will again

basically the govt trucks rural into cities when there is unrest, and they go about cracking skulls and shooting protesters, then are trucked back

brutally simple and efficient

the iranian people have a tough situation, but they are not giving up

#Iran is what happens when CIA overthrows moderate Democratic Government to install a brutal US puppet to serve short term US interests that is in turn overthrown by populist extremists.

@n_dimension @Gorfram @Mikal

yeah i get that but it's 2024

this is all on the govt of iran, and the govt of iran alone

@benroyce @Gorfram @Mikal

US loves Iran, they are strong enough to stand on their own two feet.
So they won't easily collapse under their own stench.
They give US and Israel a fantastic bogeyman.
And we even helped them to build a formidable aviation technology, raining death in Ukraine, by forcing them to develop it via the means of an embargo.

#iran is a win-win for the Governments of both counties.

@n_dimension @Gorfram @Mikal

that's some real ignorant shit Wulfy

look at the video up top

that's iranian home grown theofascism

"well it's the usa's fault because..."

fuck that noise. the usa is responsible for much evil in the world. but it has zero blame for this. and if you have to twist your thoughts about how to blame the usa for this, you have no interest in truth

@benroyce @n_dimension @Gorfram @Mikal

I mean, US and British colonialism in the 20th century sure didn't _help_. We don't (as a county) mind oppression in Saudi Arabia as long as the oil flows. And we preferred a puppet state to a democracy in Iran.

If we hadn't carried out the coup in 1953, Iranian public sentiment likely would have remained generally pro-US, and the last 50 years would have been _very_ different.

But...one can say that about a lot of what-ifs.

@mattdm @n_dimension @Gorfram @Mikal

we can't say europe is to blame for russia invading ukraine. or britain for usa genociding native americans. or usa for iran killing women. etc

history is not empty cause and effect. there is blame for every actor for *their* choices

example:

if you walk by and scuff my shoe i can

ignore it
yell obscenities
say "no problem"
shoot you in the face
etc

how i act is my fault alone

i can't say it's your fault because you were in the cause and effect chain

@benroyce (off topic, silly)

Note to self: Be ve-e-ery careful anywhere in the vicinity of Ben's shoes.
