Does protesting even do any good in a government such as Iran? Being present during a protest -- get targeted and locked up or worse (killed). It is really doing the oppressors a favor by gathering together.Rather than take it to the streets they should take it to the basement and plan out calculated attacks and disrupt the infrastructure that facilitate their rule.
You're Right. Western media is reticent to push that narrative because idiots in America will think the same and pull that shit here. We're already at a point where half the country thinks the last vote was rigged. Wouldn't take a far leap for then to take those very steps here.
Also, people participate in protests because they feel need to do something and are willing to take the risk. It is the "I can't stay passive anymore" statement and feeling at large.
And there were succesfull protests. That is how communism ended. That is how Ukraine protests kept it democracy back in 2014 (rather then allowing it to become Belurussia). And Iran had succesfull revolution too, through that one brought religious dictatorship.
Communism in Europe imploded on itself because of western pressure, weakened Soviet Union and dysfunctional economy. Protests were just a manifestation.
if they take it to the basement that would mean they are conspiring. the government will hear about it and they would be in the same situation but with less support since nobody heard about them before.
he is not doing anything illegal, he just wants a better life for everybody including the guys who jailed him and their children. His best bet is that some of those guys would understand his motivations and help him.
Now he probably does not fully understand the regime motivation and how the police state lives in a paranoia. Not because he's stupid, because sometimes the only way out of a situation is to trust your opponent with your own life. Sometimes you do what your guts tell you to do
Been playing this recently. It is Ultima Online but with all the right choices rather than all the wrong choices post 1999 the development studio made. Anyone who enjoys Online RPGs should certainly give it a try. The graphics don't do the game justice at all but the quality of the game makes up for this and then some.
Someone is repeatedly filing “Circumvention of Technological Measures” claims, then asking for bitcoin and Twitter promotion in return for stopping the claims.
