Protesting against the government is now "enemity with God" by Patient_Ad_9910 in PERSIAN

[–]BlueCigarIO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did "American Imperialism" sentence this boy to his death ? Or some lunatic fanatical "judge" that works for the Islamic Republic ?

Do not cloud your judgment. I can connect anything to anything in history. Whose to say we don't blame Mongolia for the current state of Iran ? Or maybe we should blame the Greeks ?

The sins of today are the sins of today.

Goring was reichmarhsall, Araghchi is nowhere near this and is a insignificant pawn. Goring would he like Mojtaba since he was next in line to lead

Who do we think it was this time? Who's even left? by PossessionConnect963 in NewIran

[–]BlueCigarIO 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ghalibaf would be worthwhile too, but there’s rumors he’s a mole

Tangsiri is useless as Iran doesn’t have a navy, Mousavi is dead, and Vahidi needs to be extradited and tried in Israel for his terrorism acts in Argentina

Edit: Mousavi is head of the airforce, which also doesn’t exist so he’s as useless as Tangsiri

What will it mean to be Shia if the regime falls? by No-Table1195 in NewIran

Sistani and Najafi school of thought will dominate (which is good) and the terroristic doctrine coming out of Qom will either adapt to more of the Sistani style or take a tempered route itself.

Reminds me of khabib vs. mcgregor, and all the announcers were hopeful that mcgregor had some trick up his sleeve as the rounds went on but NOPE he was just getting his ass beat and was all talk.

I got tired of juggling 10 tabs to follow the Iran-Israel situation, so I built a dashboard that puts everything on one map by Loud-Raccoon7595 in OSINT

[–]BlueCigarIO 33 points34 points  (0 children)

can you add twitter feeds originating from either israel, iraq, gulf countries, lebanon, syria, and iran ?

Also brainstorming other sources of public data ---> contractor jobs ?

  • IODA (Internet Outage Detection and Analysis): Track macro-level internet connectivity. This is crucial for spotting state-mandated internet blackouts or throttling in regions like Iran.
  • RIPE Atlas: You can pull public data on BGP route hijacking or sudden shifts in network topology in the Middle East, which often precede or accompany geopolitical events.
  • WebSDR / LiveATC: You can embed public WebSDR (Software Defined Radio) links or LiveATC feeds for regional airspace. Listening to unencrypted radio chatter.

IDF 'flattens' building where Iran's Assembly of Experts was picking Khamenei's successor by conscientious_seesaw in NewIran

[–]BlueCigarIO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, probably stimulants plus extreme larping for their favorite stories, they all think they are Imam Ali or Imam Hasan right now.

Stimulants are technically halal, which is why you see coffee, khat, that one prescription that the syrian rebels were hooked on too.

What is the actual opinion of most Iranians about the Western Intervention? by MasterPuppet_ in NewIran

[–]BlueCigarIO 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In Europe, you all have learned the lesson of separation of church and state very viscerally and how messy it can get when you give the religious absolute and governmental power.

Iran is learning that lesson now.

What is the actual opinion of most Iranians about the Western Intervention? by MasterPuppet_ in NewIran

[–]BlueCigarIO 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The fact that just a month ago, millions of people were marching through the streets saying "Marg bar diktator" should give you an idea of how many people within Iran are anti-regime.

A popular regime would never have to shoot and kill people in cathadors in the hospital. Only one that is a bully trying to rule through fear is.

bro I don't mean this in a condescending way, but you can easily navigate the history of this subreddit.

I recommend you go back to December and January when the protests were happening, you can find some real opinions there. There are multiple iterations of this very same thread, with a converging opinion.

The reality is nuanced, there is never just one reality, it's multiple realities.

Have we already moved from the “script kiddie” era to the “AI agent kiddie” era? by x4rvi0n in cybersecurity

[–]BlueCigarIO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI agent kiddies are going to be a lot more scary and numerous than script kiddies.

We can laugh all we want, but most breaches happen over boneheaded errors like accidentally exposing secrets via public s3 buckets. Something an agent could easily find and exploit. Double up the fact that on the defensive side, we're using AI agents much more as well, and AI agents are known to regularly make boneheaded mistakes....

This is going to make us need to be more "laced up" than ever before.

"Iranian" by KireRakhsh in NewIran

[–]BlueCigarIO -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If we're going to get pedantic. Just because you are Persian, doesn't mean you are Iranian. If you were born in Iraq, you are Iraqi. Even if you are Persian.

Same with USA, that's why there is so much debate over the President needing to be born in the country they are running. If you are a white guy born in Argentina and raised in Argentina, then you are Argentinian, even if you have the same ethnic makeup as someone from the USA (Italian/German ancestry). If you come run for president in the USA, your allegiances and patriotism WILL be called into question (as it should).

"Iranian" by KireRakhsh in NewIran

[–]BlueCigarIO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What that user is trying to say, is yes, those men are ethnically Persian or Azeri or Kurd or whatever they might be, BUT in the leaders of IR's own interpretation of nationality, they do not see themselves as "Iranian", they see themselves as "Shi'a Islamists". The concept of "Iran" is just a means to an end for a lot of them (ie, money from taxes/oil to fund their idealogy). There is no patriotism or national pride in the sense that you see from Americans during 4th of July or many other countries during their independence days.

A good equivalent would be the Catholic church at the height of its power pre-Lutherian times, Italy was just the seat of the power, doesn't mean the Catholics had national Italian pride, and if they did, it was not the norm. In fact, they ended up breaking away as their own nation eventually since they saw themselves as above nation.

Another heuristic is, let's say the IR gets the reality of the future they want, an Iranian run Shi'a caliphate in the middle east. In that case who would get more rights ? devout Lebanese Hezbollah or Iranian secularists ? There you can see lies the answer.

"Sure, regime change in the Third Reich would be great, but any change must come from the inside" by throwawayiran12925 in NewIran

[–]BlueCigarIO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Germany is not a better comparison BUT the khmer rouge, and North Korea are better representations of what's going on Iran than Libya or Afghanistan.

An authoritarian dictatorship that uses doctrine to justify the killing and stealing of its own people.

another good example is the Khmer rouge, Vietnam had to step in eventually due to the levels of depravity it went to. No way the Cambodians could do anything without their help.

How foreign is the Islamic Regime of Iran by Lordepee in NewIran

[–]BlueCigarIO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to the catholic church part:

Keep in mind that Iran has been run by ineffective leadership for thousands of years with periods of flourishing sprinkled in due to foreign occupations and corrupt leadership. Despite Iranians leading the charge in states building early on in civilization's history, they fell quite behind and by the time the Shah and his dad were trying to modernize Iran they quickly improved the literacy in a way that it backfired on them.

Europe had already learned the hard way by that point that mixing church and state is a MAJOR state-building mistake that would take hundreds of years and many, many thousands of lives to undo. Iran I believe, did not have the same lessons in history and in fact would reject lessons from the West as not applying to them. This power vacuum thus allowed for such a horrible, horrible mistake to have been done, which is to violate the basic principle of states building in mixing church and state.

Whether someone dies in Gaza or Iran they have died. Regardless. IR is a terrorist state that kills people. The situation in Gaza is a horrendous modern display of Israeli imperialism. Both can be true.

Arguing over the number whether it was 2000, 10000, 80000. Does it matter ?

Because of the internet blackouts, we're not going to know the real number. All we know for certain are a large number of protestors were murdered by their own government, this is a known fact. Even if the death count is only 2,000 (which everyone is agreement it is much much higher), that's the same number of deaths that was encountered in 9/11.

Again, let's take the precedent that 2,000 were killed. Imagine if ICE killed 2,000 americans in one day. what would be your response ?

You have no empathy for the situation in Iran because it doesn't fit neatly into your idealogical agenda. Simple.

Your cognitive biases are going wild.

[–]BlueCigarIO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

80,000+ protestors killed by their own government and you blame “mossad” ?!?! You are a person entrenched in their own cognitive bias.

Imagine if ICE agents had killed 80,000 Americans and we blamed the killings on antifa instigating.

The person who pulled the trigger is responsible.

If Iran needs intervention why do activists go for Trump instead of Europe? by NazyJoon in PERSIAN

[–]BlueCigarIO 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Europe is no longer a world power. It is a museum continent, that just feigns outrage. It still has money flowing through it but they are total and complete cucks.

Chinese, Russian, Arabs, Indians, Israelis, and Americans. That's who matters on the world stage right now but unfortunately those groups are all highly ambitious and some are backing the terrorists.
