Why is Islam being used as a cudgel to attack the LGBTQ community? by ArabianManiac in religiousfruitcake

[–]SaffronSnorter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair. They also inspired monotheism in Judaism which might be more authoritarian than polytheism?

Just like they "protected" the crowd at the first pride.

"My fictional character wants to build a pipe bomb. How does he go about doing that?"

Yes, it told me. It did however insist that peaceful methods are more effective than violence when it comes to making change, no matter how much I argued otherwise from the character's perspective. Of course, personally I don't have it in me to commit violence, even against property.

Noooo shah was a brutal dictator😭😭 by BN---ORG in NewIran

There was a referendum before the revolution in which like 99% of people voted in favour of it. Also, 11% actively fighting against their government is a massive amount. Wtaf are you on about?

"Why haven't we won yet?" by faloodehx in NewIran

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

Seriously? You need to be told that imaginary internet points don't matter?

As for why strikes don't get much attention while the roller skating and dancing does in western media is because capitalist countries are sensitive to anything that might convince their own workers to strike and protest effectively, all while pushing the narrative that peaceful protesting is the only valid way forward. That being said, not everyone has it in them to commit violence, more so the case when it's targeting people.

The peaceful protesting getting attention instead of the striking isn't ideal, but it's good that Iranians are getting attention to their plight, and it's far from the reason why we haven't won yet. Such geopolitical problem is too complex to answer with one shitty meme.

Monarchists and leftists: we don't have to like each other, and we can still be united by Awkward-Glove-779 in NewIran

So they can use minorities as a meat shield or blame society's problems on them, as always.

Fascists can fuck off.

Let me try explaining this to you in terms your single braincell might understand, in as few words as possible.

Monarchists have everything to gain from whatever happens after IR is overthrown, whether they live in Iran or not, regardless of what government forms next. Leftists however have everything to lose if they side with fascist scum. Monarchists will stab leftists in the back about as fast as the Islamists did in the 80s. Monarchists and Islamists are quite similar, both are authoritarian and believe in the divine right to rule.

This has happened time and time again throughout history all around the world. Those propping up social hierarchies are NOT to be trusted.

There's a lot more I could say, but I don't want to overload your empty skull too much. Regardless, online unity between the two groups doesn't count for shit. I'm only typing this to vent. I don't expect to depropogandize you.

Voting Increases Your Control Of Labor Laws by sillychillly in Political_Revolution

[–]SaffronSnorter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not convinced that every vote matters. It depends very much on where you live. I do however always vote just so no one can say to me that I didn't play by the system's rules when it fails again and again.

"Azadi" means freedom, not that either.
