While the older generations scramble for external support to overthrow the regime, we take matters into our own hands. This is what separates us from our fathers. Their fate hinges on the approval of “decision makers,” while we make our own decisions. Our fate is written by our own pens. The past 4 months is just a taste. Our ambitions are great and we have no intention of compromising (as older generations did for 44 years), watching our lives drift by as we slave away under the rule of dirty old men in turbans. It’s not gonna happen. Sorry! As for those “decision makers” on whose nod of approval the fate of nations depend, they can all fuck off if they’re not with us. What you have to understand about us is that we’ve reached a point of no return. We’re ready to die. It’s glorious to die on one’s feet, not to live on one’s knees. Cliched? Maybe so for those who’ve heard this sentiment repeated but have never actually lived it. We live by it. Every day might be our last, but one thing is certain, we will never go back to that sorry state of silent servitude. Nothing compares to freedom. Once you taste it, there is no going back. Back to what? To a life fogged over with terror and fear. To truly live, one must be willing to die. And this is why, everything is different this time. We’ve lost all hope and “losing all hope was freedom!” We are free. Free to live and die as we please. Our choice is clear: REVOLUTION! Almost a thousand amongst us have been murdered since the start of the revolution and close to 30,000 of our comrades are locked up in prisons. 30,000 of our country’s brightest, locked up in cages like animals: tortured and tormented on a daily basis. What did you expect? That we would just sit by and let these transgression go unpunished just as our elders did for more than four decades? You’ve got another thing coming darling. You’re in for a ride hon. The faster you open your eyes the better off you’ll be because we have no limitations. We are free and our enemies will be made to suffer. We will liberate our sisters, brothers, comrades, from their jail cells, and together will march on to your centers of power thirsty for vengeance and retribution. “To die, to sleep!” Oh yes, a long silent sleep awaits you all. You had many many opportunities to change your ways, instead, you chose to double down on your violence every time any of us dared to voice the slightest of demands; modest demands, I assure you. No, my sisters have been raped, brutalized, and murdered just for taking off their forced veils. We do not forget. We do not forgive. We shall haunt your days like a plague until you cave. We will make you suffer and we don’t need Washington’s approval to do so. We toil for our innocent compatriots whose dignity has been confiscated from them and who are ready to shed this yoke once and for all. Let it be known, that the Iranian people were ready to step up to the plate when it mattered; that we are a nation of warriors ready to die for liberty. Furthermore, let it be known, that our generation, the generation which some have patronizingly dubbed the “Tik Tok generation” is achieving what none of you ever dared to dream of. We have already changed the world, but this is only the beginning! EXPECT US!!!
