      9/17/22 - London-based (lol) Iranian media claims she is killed with “blows to the head”

      https://www.npr.org/2022/09/21/1124237272/mahsa-amini-iran-women-protest-hijab-morality-police

      “Her father says she was beaten to death in custody”

      https://www.iranintl.com/en/202209165767

      Weird how a London-based gusano media org is the top reporting source on this for western press.

          How do statements from her father on 9/16/22 not qualify here? This is who sparked the unrest, and the London-based and other western funded media that pushed it, along with comprador groups within Iran

              If what you say is true, I hope Iran comes out with certain exemptions and reforms for Hijab law and morality laws, but somehow I think that wouldn’t matter. Just like Hong Kong protests this has passed the threshold where what sparked it has anything to do with what it has become. All anti-Iran pro-West groups are activated, they are going nuts right now with spook shit in Iran. Israel, Saudi Arabia and US.

              So it started under false pretenses, an understandably bereaved father made a poor assumption. Then media kept running with it even after they know it’s false. Now western spooks and Israeli and jihadists are hitting the gas.

              Sorry but this will be crushed. I hope there are some reforms but this particular type of violent protest is not going to work out here. It’s not principled

                  2 policemen got killed already. 60 ambulance got trash. So call peaceful protest, america would activate national guard and shut those down . This is color revolution through and through, and the cause of it is from her previous surgery. Not trauma or got beat up.

                        Like, we could acab. But when you see the rioter trash ambulance, and burning, blocking traffic. Not sure why some users here support that.

                          This is obvious Turkish provocation to pull Iran from defending Armenia, can’t believe people here are buying this shit. Over and over and over we have to live through “Arab springs” from “progressive” groups that suddenly turn into jihadists and Nazis.

                          If this goes on much longer more and more people are going to die, and the jihadist element is going to grow stronger and stronger.

                            Tbf, only 2 to 3 users buying this shite, but they pretty sus though. Red flag all over the place when they defend the destruction and rioter action. I think Iran will be fine since they already have experience containing this type of CR and the govt seem confident, but this one might be a bit bloody though.

                          Yeah he should have sided with jihadist fascists instead. Iran is the most progressive and anti-imperialist force in the region and you are being chauvinist

                          There’s many more that the user documents. Burning and harming peoples is not really peaceful, especially based on a lie. Same with Vietnam few years ago when they go in soldier barrack and attempted to burn it down, thankfully Vietnamese peoples respect the army, or thing would go south fast

                                Nobody said it was. Neither was the Syrian, Ukrainian (pre-Maidan) or Libyan states. The color revolts still were filled with imperialist compradors and fascists that would take power.

                                      I'm not a yank.

                                      But revolutionary defeatism doesn't mean opposing good movements on the other side, even if they weaken your state's enemies.

                                      During WW1, Lenin didn't oppose the German or Russian communist movements, despite living in Germany, coming from Russia, and both nations being on opposite sides of the war, and both movements aiming to overthrow their governments through civil war.

                                      Hoping Iranian movements fail for the sake of promoting revolutionary conditions wherever you are is profoundly selfish.

                                        Do “good movements” raise the flag of Turkish fascists? I’m guessing you weren’t around for the start of the Syrian civil war or the overthrow of Gaddafi. Radlibs like you said they were “good movements” too. All jihadists, tankies are always right

                                                  Happily, I've never had a reddit account.

                                                  That this is triggering your "this is just like what happened on reddit back in 2011!" memories is definitely a massive :blob-stop: sign this isn't going anywhere good.

                                                  I think we probably both need to spend less time getting into internet shitfights with strangers on the internet about politics in places neither of us live.
