A young Iranian woman who fell into a coma after being arrested in Tehran by the notorious morality police died on Friday, state media and her family said, with activists urging those responsible for her "suspicious" death be brought to justice.
:burning cop car emote:
Idk kinda looks like a george floyd moment in Iran
I’m pretty torn on Iran’s government, on one hand they are weirdly forward thinking in places like trans rights and they act as a bulwark against American intervention in the region. On the other hand they are most definitely not leftist, but they occupy the same void that Russia does in that it has a legacy of a leftist government which is better than not having it.
I’m not sure if it would be better for the communist project in the long run if a color revolution were to sweep over Iran, I’m afraid it would make the country lean more towards the United States and adopt liberalism which in my opinion is not worth the trade of increased social rights. I’m still of the opinion that Iran needs a nuke and shouldn’t have its government overthrown.
I think the best thing that could possibly happen is if Iran were to adopt sweeping social reforms on sexuality, gender, and race while avoiding westernizing and still maintaining some degree of its Islamicness. I think the worst thing that leftists deal with right now is that a lot of the social justice and gender theory stuff is mostly seen as an American thing that’s divorced from the economic aspects of leftism. So if Iran were to adopt it as state policy it would help mend the divide a little and would introduce a more progressive version of Islam.
The worst case scenario is an Afghanistan situation where there’s a bunch of wokewashing in major cities and the countryside becomes infested with reactionary chuds who sadly would be the anti imperialist faction. There’s a fine line to walk between anti imperialism and social justice and some might call it a false dichotomy to be forced to pick between the two but sometimes you gotta support shitty regimes because not doing so would lead to an even greater calamity. I guess what I’m trying to say is critical support for Iran, I hope they reform but we shouldn’t cry if they crack down on this.
I mean i don't want the US to overthrow the iranian government either but it's also incredibly easy for police not to beat women to death and it's also incredibly easy to not start fingerwagging instead of punishing them.
And yes, the US does use gender, sexuality, race related ngos to exert soft power but when a government actively chooses on doubling down on the racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, that's a very legitimate thing to criticise.
In Latin America they excel in this, there's absolutely no reason for the Iranian (or Russian or any other anti-imperialist "heroes") government to not adapt the policies you mentioned. What would happen? The USA would fund 70 year old men to overthrow the government?
There’s a full video of like 5 minutes of her getting up, walking around, getting back in her seat, having a short conversations.
If you want to make western-aligned accusations of wrongdoing here you need at least a modicum of proof because all evidence points to this being bullshit
okay, whatever. We don't know who is on the video, where it was taken but since the twitter you posted says it was her, it must be her. She probably drank too much coffee. Well, there's other people.
Found the article about it in the meantime, it puts things into perspective a bit more but not gonna pretend that if the police beat her they would've admitted it.
The burden of proof is on the one making the accusation. Western aligned comprador groups make a stink in a hostile foreign nation about “police brutality”. No evidence of this is shown, and evidence against it is instead.
Instead of taking the L you double down on your swallowing of anti-Iranian propaganda
We have a recording of the entire time she was in the building, minutes just queuing and wandering around, having conversations. Then she collapses and is given medical attention.
There’s no evidence of anything nefarious, you are following imperialist intrigue and you are a failed socialist for this reason. Just like veganism apparently, anti-imperialism is not a tendency it’s a non-negotiable part of being a leftist. Repeating westoid libshit lies is reactionary
CIA made the cops beat a girl to death.
Never let a tragedy go to waste.
The government could've hanged the cops already and no one would say a thing. Instead they doubled down on it being "an accident"

Looks like it was an accident. Looks like you are doubling down on your manufactured narrative
Oh shit a video of someone collapsing and dying, people who have been beaten never died like that, the whole narrative is totally disproven now.
There’s a full video of like 5 minutes of her getting up, walking around, getting back in her seat, having a short conversations.

I’ll worry about what Iran’s cops are doing once we get our own to stop beating people to death. :amerikkka:
Okay but can Iranians be concerned about what their cops are doing? Just a bit?
Point to the time stamp in the video of her death where cops killed her or abused her
If i was a cop i would make sure to document every single second of abusing people so others on the internet can prove it was me.
We have a recording of the entire time she was in the building, minutes just queuing and wandering around, having conversations. Then she collapses and is given medical attention.

you are a failed peepeepoopoo
Antiimperialism is when police can beat women to death :(
Nobody was beat to death loool you are still going on about the Ghost of Tehran
Of course. Did i say they can’t?
Didn’t they release footage of the death and nobody touched her?
CW: Death, woman collapses during argument but nobody touched her
