    We know that Iranian far right religious authoritarian regime killed many people.

    Yeah but five figure estimates are basically all propaganda. Not like four-digit numbers of dead protesters are acceptable of course, but calling the 36k figure CIA propaganda is about right.

      Yeah but

      It sounds like “I’m not racist but…”

      There is no but. We know that so many people were killed. We know that it was right wing authoritarian time that was part of Russian imperialistic dreams.

      I know people from Iran who hated the regime. Radical religion police are attacking woman for not wearing hijabs. Nowadays thousands were killed by the regime.

        a moment from the 2023 wave of protests still sits with me. a woman being dragged away by the morality in a city center screaming “REMEMBER ME” as loud as she could as a crowd watched in silence. it haunts me
