  I hope Putin and Iranian Politicians all get ass cancer
context: imagine killing your best citizens because you can't handle seeing a woman's head >
  
  I’ve noticed that more than half the people posted on r/NewIran who have been killed by the Iranian regime were talented in some way. They were either athletes or artists. 
  Sports people seem to be the number one target. >
  
  These people killed are admirable. The regime thinks that if people have noone to admire they will submit blindly to whatever bullshit they want to push across. The literally want iranians to stay illiterate, with no ties to the outside world, just like mindless androids who follow blindly the ass backwards beliefs. >
  
  Just like literally every orthodox religion, and Christianity for the most part. >
  
  Nope. But thanks for the expected attempt to make Irans problems everyone else’s too. >
  
  I mean, what’s going on in Iran is terrible, but burying your head in the sand and pretending organized religion isn’t a huge problem is childish and doesn’t help the people you pretend to care about. >
  
  No no, THEIR religion is different!! >
  
  Do you really believe European religiousness is anything like the fanaticism over there? Think about what you’re saying for goodness sake.. >
  
  Nuance is lost on most. That being said it wasn’t long ago that European religiousness was very much like the fanaticism in the middle east. >
  
  History is forgotten quickly by most. >
  
  Iran has basically made it clear they'll be murdering literally ANYONE who goes against the state. >
  
  Also anyone who doesn't go against the state.
  Remember that this whole thing started when Mahsa Amini was killed, and it is reported that Mahsa was not interested in politics and didn't really care to go against the regime. Yet they killed her because the morality police had a bad day that day. >
  
  One of the main reasons she got killed is 1. She was a woman 2. She was a Kurd. In the last years thousands of innocent Kurds got killed, mostly young men >
  
  The Islamic Republic kills everyone. Man, woman, Kurd, Non-Kurd it doesn't matter. 3 years ago tomorrow the Islamic Republic shot down a plane and killed 176 people of all ethnicities.
  I think westerners like to make it about ethnicity more than it is because it makes it easier for them to understand the oppression, and also allows them to not think about the nuisances of the situation. >
  
  Iranian people need to start executing government officials >
  
  If the punishment for protesting and killing a government official is the same then might as well go out after killing a government official IMO. >
  
  Exactly. At least die for something! Or take someone out with you! That's what I'll never understand about being killed by a regime... You'd never take me out without at least 5:1 ratio of bodies with me >
  
  
  You'd never take me out without at least 5:1 ratio of bodies with me

  Real life isn’t Call of Duty >
  
  And even in Call of Duty, there's no way you've never died before getting 5 kills. >
  
  The Iranian people will be free. >
  
  How? How does protesting against a government that doesn’t care, that will slaughter you for trying, and execute the rest lead to freedom for the Iranian people? 
  People on Reddit keep saying if you execute people for protesting then they’ll just start killing government officials because it’s the same sentence either way. Has there been any government officials that have been killed yet? 
  The Iranian people won’t be free until every government official backing the power of the state has been killed or put in prison, and all I’ve seen is just innocent protesters being massacred and executed. So I ask again how? How will the Iranian people be free? >
  
  Outside intervention. >
  
  Iranian executions aren’t pleasant either.
  It’s unfortunate these men were born in such a backwards country. >
  
  A backward regime. The country itself is a very pleasant place full of very pleasant people wanting to live a peaceful existence. >
  
  Well the religion people practice in this region might have a hand in this nonsense also. >
  
  This article isn't about Christians? >
  
  It stopped being funny like few centuries ago. Majority of Christians live in western countries which aren’t the shithole this article is about >
  
  Keep making martyrs and see what happens. Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it >
  
  Those that do still repeat it though, most supposedly well educated world leaders for example >
  
  A good education has unfortunately never been the antidote for despotism. >
  
  Lao Tzu would have said such people need recuring from their education. They must unlearn so much to be able to act in alignment with the natural world, and their natural selves. >
  
  Really hope they overthrow these fuckers soon >
  
  All of these people have families, neighbors, loved ones. At what point do people say they have had enough?
  I assume the general population knows who is responsible and where they live.
  I don't consider myself a violent man. Kill my children and that may change. >
  
  Didn’t Pol Pot do the same thing? Executed the educated and talented. >
  
  Pol Pot did it in a much larger scale. He basically rounded up all the educated and talented, whether they spoke out or not. >
  
  Like literally having glasses would get you killed >
  
  I learned that from the Timesuck podcast >
  
  I saw someone post a rumour like 12 hours ago on r/NewIran saying that their execution was imminent and to call representatives in the EU and US to put pressure on the regime to stop it. 
  And then the executions actually happened like a few hours later with no notice from the government. Made me feel like shit because I kind of blew it off as just another rumour. >
  
  I saw that too! I can’t believe it happened less than 2 hours after. RIP. They were two good young men. >
  
  This is why religion and politics should not mix. >
  
  Absolutely.
  Religion shouldn’t be mixed with ANYTHING and needs laughing out of existence. >
  
  Come over to r/newiran, it's appalling what the IR is doing to the Iranian people. Support Iranian freedom in any way you can >
  
  All this over a woman's face... Smh >
  
  Iran’s gone off the rails and doubling down. >
  
  You keep the people dumb you rule forever. >
  
  Keep killing the citizens and eventually the citizens will kill you >
  
  They are acting like they are Gods. Just a Dictatorship system using religion as a cover >
  
  Religion should be disrespected in nations where religion mixes with politics.
  Support r/NewIran >
  
  Hope the mullahs and ayatollahs burn in hell. >
  
  Fyck Ali Khamenei >
  
  So get cought protesting gets you the same punishment as planting a bomb under one of their "leaders" car? >
  
  Islamic State of Iran , to give it its full name 😡 >
  
  Please upvote this post. It needs more visibility. People should be outraged and national leaders should be pressuring Iran’s leaders to stop this. >
  
  Cave animals >
  
  Barbaric >
  
  Poor dudes didn’t deserve that fuck Iranian regime >
  
  The key to every great civilization is to get rid of your best young people and keep your old corrupt nobility in power. Joke aside, I wish Iran can find it's way for a better future! >
  
  It's so sad that the Iranian regime fears its own people. All that sorrow will eventually bite them right back, but those losses are a terrible crime against humanity which can never be undone >
  
  Why people still call it a protest it’s a REVOLUTION >
  
  The beatings will continue till morale improves. >
  
  Can we please ban this as asinine phrase. It’s so low effort. >
  
  The phrase will continue until Iran improves. >
  
  Why is the islamic religion so narly. >
  
  As someone once explained to me, there is a difference between religion and culture. Islam is not the issue; some of its followers are. >
  
  I agree that it's mainly because of the culture, last time europeans (mostly christians) killed for their religion was in like 1600s, there's a reason for middle east being the biggest shithole on earth, but when you compare Christianity and Islam, you'll see that most of quran is just threatening its followers to damnation if they don't do exactly as it says >
  
  Christianity is just as bad. >
  
  I don't like any of these ancient books, but the most moderate muslim has more extremism views than the most extreme christian you can find nowadays >
  
  You are only thinking about Muslim on Christian aggression and completely ignoring things like the Spanish Inquisition, the Holocaust, the US Iraq War, the wars of Russia and the US against Afghanistan. >
  
  none of them were fighting for Jesus, muslim do it for Allah >
  
  Of course not. Most Christians don't. >
  
  court >
  
  As an average US citizen, how can I support the brave people of Iran? Also, I would love to purchase wearable protest (like a tshirt) from an organization or Iranian artist. Any suggestions on this or how to best use my humble resources towards the Iranian people? >
  
  How would your contribution be meaningful? The Iranians are far past nice words and thoughts and prayers. No money would reach anyone in Iran and posting a picture of "I support Iran's people" or whatever on Instagram does nothing if you're continents and oceans away. >
  
  no. >
  
  Woman Life Freedom >
  
  Most of that part of the world hasn't advanced past the primitive stages of human existence. The beliefs remain mostly the same. Sad for those born into it that have no way to get out. >
  
  Killing people has never stopped a dictatorship from falling, just makes people more vengeful after it crumbles >
  
  All because they fear losing control of their women. Cowards. >
  
  Such a fucking waste. >
  
  Religion is there to control the population. As long as religion runs IRAN it cannot be a country for the better of human kind >
  
  Let the protests continue. Make martyrs of these men >
  
  These people running the show are idiots >
  
  A new Iranian civil war on the horizon >
  
  Back in the day, I used to go to a restaurant in Detroit that was owned by an Iranian couple. The owners were the best and kindest people you could ever meet. They had the whole family running the restaurant,  and they treated their customers like family.  Then I hear stories like this,  and I weep for their loved ones that are still in Iran. >
  
  It’s very sad and there is very little the rest of the world can do to help.  they don’t want to have the best of the best, they just want everyone to comply.   They are not gods or doing gods work.  They are only human with a need to protect their power.  The only way this changes is for the people to stand up.  We shouldn’t be cocky either because the Religious Right is trying to do the exact same thing here in America. >
  
  Iran is a cancer that should be irradiated.
