Things in Iran are really bad.
In just two days, the government has massacred thousands of people (some say over 30,000), and the internet is either completely cut off or heavily restricted.
People in Iran are going through a collective trauma, while the dictatorship keeps going with its violence and bloodshed.
Protests in Iran!
This time, unlike before, the protests started in smaller and more marginalized cities and slowly spread across the entire country. In most cities, people have shut down their markets to protest the corrupt regime.
In areas where street protests are happening, the internet is heavily slowed down, and the whole city gets flooded with Khamenei’s security and repression forces.
Only those who are already dead aren’t afraid of death.
Like me —
like someone like me,
who has died bravely again and again.
I’ve carried my own coffin
on my shoulders
my whole life.
Protests in Iran!
For more than ten days now, people in Iran have once again taken to the streets to protest against an authoritarian government.
For 46 years, under the influence of its Islamic and leftist ideology, the Iranian regime has effectively turned the country into a prison for its people.
At the beginning, they came to power with anti-imperialist and anti-Western slogans, promising to bring prosperity back to Iranians. But over time, they themselves turned into a monster — one that feeds on the blood of its own people.
The Islamic Republic’s foreign policy is mainly built on hostility toward the US and Europe, heavy dependence on China and Russia, and the absurd slogan of destroying Israel. All of this is completely against what the Iranian people want. Yet under a dictatorship led by Khamenei, people are forced to comply and live under severe economic and social pressure.
The separation between the Iranian people and their authoritarian government has fully happened. The real problem is that the ruling minority holds overwhelming force and weapons, has no fear of killing, and controls a judiciary that is not independent at all. Instead, it functions as one of Khamenei’s main tools of repression, easily silencing people with long prison sentences — and even executions.
I hope you all have a great day, and that everyone lives in freedom and happiness.
I hope the chances of this happening hit 100% — and that it actually comes true.
I want you to know that for most people in Iran, the dream is to go to sleep at night and wake up to the news that Khamenei (Iran’s dictator) has been arrested, tied up, and taken in.
I hope that in the new year, despite all its hardships, life gives all of us at least a few small chances to experience joy and peace.
Happy New Year! 🎉✨
