You always have the same rebuttable. Anyone who questions this establishment, is a separatist , zionists, bla bla. You are like Baghdad Bob.
You practically always show the same sorts of negligible gatherings. Is it my fault rioters can't assemble truly impressive crowds? Or if separatists chant easily identifiable slogans?
If you understand the history of Iran, then you know that the Kurds are the old Medes and are of Iranian stock.
Basically every group indigenous to western Iran (including Azaris) descends partly from the Medes. Kurds have several ancestors including but not strictly limited to the Medes.
But this is beside the point, since I was referring to modern day separatist grouplets claiming to speak for Kurdish Iranians. These currents, which are far from representing the majority of Kurdish-speakers of Iran, caused trouble in the 1920's, 1940's (when they declared independence under Soviet protection), 1980's and now they're back at it again. Thanks to rioters creating disorder.
This is not a mini gathering. This 10 to 15000 people in one setting.
Less than 15000. And well, this is clearly not the norm. Almost every other clip you post is of some small gathering of between a handful to several hundreds of individuals.
The revolutionaries died long ago. This is despotic regime today worst that the Shah. The mulla class is now the aristocracy full of shit. They are worst than Ashraf and the people in the inner circle of the Pahlavi regime.
Yeah, sure. With a Supreme Leader who's staying in a most simple and modest house in the southern, air-polluted working class district of Tehran, and has never accumulated any meaningful wealth, nor have his close relatives. Whereas the shah was enjoying lavish palaces and transferred billions abroad.
The difference between this regime, you are too young to know , and Shah, they were not willing to open fire into crowds of protestors. The brutality of this regime trumps Saddam.
I'm not young. The shah regime didn't even field an actual riot police, which is why it was forced to send the army and declare state of emergency, practices which resulted in the likes of the Black Friday (Jom'eye Siah) massacre at Jale Square (Meydane Shohada), where several dozens of unarmed protesters were gunned down at once, some say more.
Also I'm yet to see conclusive evidence of security forces opening fire on crowds nowadays.
And guess what, Iran has powerful existential enemies which will jump at the slightest occasion to have their agents or terrorist proxies (like MKO or Daesh etc) snipe people and blame it on the Islamic Republic.
Not to mention that dozens of law enforcement units were murdered, so there've been plenty cases of legitimate defence.
However what we've essentially seen images of, is security forces using non-lethal ammunition and even rifles that look like paintball ones (with a huge magazine on top, obviously filled with non-lethal rounds).
We've even witnessed law enforcement personnel being murdered by criminals because they lacked firearms to protect themselves. As in the recent murder of two Defenders of Security in Mashhad, brutally knifed to death by a rioter. First one of the martyrs is getting repeatedly stabbed while on the ground, then his colleague arrives to help him but he's clearly lacking a weapon so he tries to immobilize the rioter physically, but the latter manages to cut the officer's throat.
So any comparison with Saddam is simply out of touch.
Once again, you slander the Kurdish people .
I'm not assimilating armed separatist grouplets with Kurdish Iranians. But let's not pretend these organizations don't exist and aren't active right now (DPIK, KDP, Komala - which played a particular role in recent unrest, PJAK, PAK).
No doubt the people disseminating this information on twitter are elements of the See eye A, but it does not change the fact that it is happening daily . There are plenty of anti-human, Christ killers chest beating that they care about the Iranian nation all of a sudden. That is all noise. The signal is people's grievances with this regime.
I was talking about the fact that people shown in that video are separatist supporters. Because they use vocabulary ("jash") typical of separatists. These elements will always have grievances as long as Iran is not dismantled.
The regime has never endured such push back against its rule. It has capitulated to the women. I just watched videos today from Tehran and there are others posted on youtube which show women walking around without head coverings.
If these protests continue, which they do not seem to be dying down, the next step will probably be a coup d'etat. This regime must change. Unfortunately for nation of Iran, it will not happen peacefully because the regime is systematically corrupt beyond reform. I have been on this forum for the past 15 years ( when it was Iran Military Forum) Long before you and your cohorts joined. Most of the economic discussions about Iran's lack of real growth or even military growth leads to mulla corruption.
Too much misconception due to being exposed to intense propaganda against the Islamic Republic.
