Historically when the people demand as one voice that is a precursor to change. Power to the People - John Lennon >

John Lennon was a dick >

Hmmm I guess you are ho fan of the Beatles. >

I mean, they were pretty good. Paul seems alright. Lennon was just famously a complete piece of shit lol. >

Well I have no idea why you think that. Together they were.a singular force even thought they each had issues. I met Lennon once very briefly and he was quite nice and not full of himself. >

The way he treated his son is probably a good place to start lol >

Who Sean or Julian? How so? >

I'm quite impressed with the Iranian people. 
It's a shame we can't seem to do anything real to help them >

It sucks, but any open foreign aid for the protestors will be spun by the ayatollahs as proof the west is doing a regime change again to mobilise their diehard supporters. >

They’re doing that anyway >

For real, when are people going to learn that no matter what you do, evil people will try to spin the situation to their advantage.  Just do what's right, fuck them. >

But now we have the excuse to do nothing. >

I mean the US tried in Afghanistan for 20+ years and that wasn't exactly viewed as a rousing success. >

It’s because Americans were too culturally sensitive and didn’t arm the women. >

It didn’t help that soldiers were told to let the Afghani officials rape children. Those children grew up, and I bet you a lot of them have a soft spot for the anti child rape taliban. >

This exactly. >

Bastille? >

My first thought. >

Same here. Then my second thought was "Fuck yeah, Rush" >

This is how you reclaim your country for the people. >

That's what happens when you care about your country and all it's citizens. Russian's only care about themselves and not about the justice of others >

A while back I saw someone say that the vast majority of the world sees equity as everyone having equal opportunity and prosperity, while Russians view equity as everyone having equal opression and suffering. >

People who've been tormented during hazing will go on to torment others with glee, they subconsciously rationalize suffering as the cost of belonging.  It's not that their unempathetic beings, it's that they've been wired backwards deliberately.  If pain is the price of belonging, their mind decodes cruelty as love.  Humans need belonging more desperately than any material comfort.
There's no doubt soviet psycologists recognized this and arranged the state to monopolize the sense of communal belonging, and they may have very well managed their transition to capitalism to deliberately inflict a sense of mass alienation on the population so they could maneuver them at some point in the future.  Now?
There is an evil spell cast on the peoples of the forest steppe.  We need not to see the people as evil, but State-Russianism as the evil afflicting them. >

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 79%. (I'm a bot)


Protesters gathered outside a prison near the Iranian capital on Sunday night in an attempt to prevent the rumoured imminent execution of two young detainees found guilty of running over a police officer in a car during protests in November.
The repression, which is seen by the Iranian authorities as an appropriate response to injuries inflicted on security officers during the protests, is stifling any chances of the talks of a renewed nuclear deal, pushing part of the Iranian regime to look for closer relations with Russia as an alternative to the west.
The Canadian foreign minister, Mélanie Joly, also denounced the executions, saying: "Two more lives lost to senseless executions from the Iranian regime." Calling on Iran to put an end to such brutal and inhumane sentences, Joly expressed solidarity with Iranians who have a right to their human rights.

The regime kidnapped and killed a protestor recently and broke/mangled his arm because he had a tattoo of the lion:( >

Anything short of that will yield no change. >

Woman life freedom! >

Protesters better start bringing machine guns >

I don't think Iranians have guns, they can only get them for hunting....or by bringing a rock to the protest >

It’s pretty easy to get guns when you border Afghanistan and Iraq I bet. >

It is
