You can hear the heartbreak in the camera woman's voice.

they're acting like suppression of information hasn't led to shit like the Armenian genocide, the rape of Nanking, etc being seen as fake by large populations. There's still alot of ppl that think police brutality is an overblown thing, exposure of these things absolutely helps wtf are they on?

I am an Iranian-American woman living in the US. I’ve said this before but I’m going to keep repeating myself.

The best way to support these brave women and men fighting for freedom in Iran is by posting about it on social media. As much as possible.

The overwhelming message I am hearing out of Iran is to keep posting and keep this movement in the conversation. This is the rare case where posting on social media is activism.

The world at large does not care about Iran and as such, the autocratic regime can kill and imprison the citizens with impunity. By keeping the spotlight on what they are doing, it puts pressure on the regime. It's much easier to commit crimes in the dark. Do not let them.

The movement is growing day by day. This is the biggest protest movement in Iran for decades, possibly centuries. This is the first time since the Islamic Republic seized power that there are protests in 31 out of 31 provinces. Students are walking out of school, chanting in the streets, demanding their freedom.

You can help. You can absolutely help. Keep posting. If you want to take it further, contact your congressional representatives or parliamentary members and demand that they speak out.

But literally by sharing these stories on social media, you can embolden these women, help them, and in turn help us all.

The Iranian government's true colours are being seen by people all across the world.

There used to be a myth floating around that Iranians supported their government. That cannot be further from the truth.

Everyone is already aware this happens. We (outside of Iran) collectively allow it as nations and societies becuase they got nukes. Im all for the women over there standing up to their oppressors but the social media activism is cheap. Dont post about it, go fight.

A video should help stop it. The light in darkness 4 justice. These men destroy their mothers sisters daughters. Horrifying. They should abort these men in the womb.

Two sides of the same coin.
Frank Wilhoit (not that Frank Wilhoit):

>There is no such thing as liberalism — or progressivism, etc.

>There is only conservatism. No other political philosophy actually exists; by the political analogue of Gresham’s Law, conservatism has driven every other idea out of circulation.

>There might be, and should be, anti-conservatism; but it does not yet exist. What would it be? In order to answer that question, it is necessary and sufficient to characterize conservatism. Fortunately, this can be done very concisely.

>Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

>There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

>There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time.

>For millenia, conservatism had no name, because no other model of polity had ever been proposed. “The king can do no wrong.” In practice, this immunity was always extended to the king’s friends, however fungible a group they might have been. Today, we still have the king’s friends even where there is no king (dictator, etc.). Another way to look at this is that the king is a faction, rather than an individual.

>As the core proposition of conservatism is indefensible if stated baldly, it has always been surrounded by an elaborate backwash of pseudophilosophy, amounting over time to millions of pages. All such is axiomatically dishonest and undeserving of serious scrutiny. Today, the accelerating de-education of humanity has reached a point where the market for pseudophilosophy is vanishing; it is, as The Kids Say These Days, tl;dr . All that is left is the core proposition itself — backed up, no longer by misdirection and sophistry, but by violence.

(emphasis mine)
It even tracks with the moral foundations theory: social conservatives have a "diverse" morality where moral values of in-group loyalty, respect for authority, and sanctity/purity compromise 'are valued "equally" to' moral values of fairness, care/harm (to others), and liberty.

I’ve been following this emotionally and fully support the revolution. I’ve seen videos and photos. Maybe it’s because I’m female, maybe it’s because I can feel protective of younger women, or maybe it’s just because I’m a fucking human, but NOTHING has made me so viscerally enraged as this video.

Good people CAN NOT watch this being done to others and not find themselves acting, there is a natural response to this. The regime can not survive this. If you are in the US, call your representatives and let them know you support the Revolution. Without engaging in imperialist intervention, there are still ways to support the Iranian people, with internet infrastructure, intelligence, perhaps humanitarian supplies?

I guess women are walking fleshlights to these people huh? We gotta wrap ourselves up just right so no skin can show, until someone decides to rape us, then it's open season. Rape, torture, kidnap, kill. Rape, torture, kidnap, kill. Rape, torture, kidnap, kill. The morality police have this down to a science. They know just what to do to any woman they feel like, it's what they trained for! It's their life's work to degrade women into animals.

The internet is being shut down in Iran, and they are screaming, begging on their knees for anyone to help. It's up to us to show the world what's going on down there, because all it takes for bad men to win is for good men to do nothing.
