to be fair, the last Shah had serious problems too. he himself was installed through an earlier coup arranged by BP and the bongs to curb the sovereignty of the Iranian people.

Lmao, go look at my post history and you can see me arguing with @AgendaPoster. Like I said, average 56%er.
You don't need to pay me to post videos. I live in a country the Iranian regime has vowed to wipe off the map and I'm very happy that a good part of the Iranian people (and various ethnic minorities) have had enough of living in a medieval society and are beating the shit out of their thugs. I'm even happier because I know it makes you seethe to see inferior brown people display the sort of bravery you never will against ZOG/niggers/glowies/pick your poison.
Anyway, here's a video from the Arab Spring of a very happy-looking Iranian World Cup team not singing the national anthem:

Just like Chugger and History speaks right? Aka your average lefty NPC who has to shit up and slide threads arguing with themselves. Go ahead and seethe that at least one person sees through your shit, and more will now that its been brought up in a place you can't do anything to silence it.

This is a valid point. However I think he was much better for Iran than the current clownshow they call the Iranian government. I think the Shah or his successor would have left the Irainans better off, especially with the social services being offered or on the horizon. I read somewhere the Shah had a vision to provide free energy bankrolled with oil money and nuclear power for example. It's hard to find a benevolent goverment but there sure are some choices that are worse than others.

I love how people insinuate that if the Iranian government does eventually get overthrown, the end result will be Iran becoming a peaceful, western-style democracy. Realistically, Iran will end up a failed state carved up by warlords who still stringently enforce sharia, only now it'll be at Taliban levels instead of Mullah levels. That would be on top of all the country's infrastructure being destroyed, the population being decimated, and people being impoverished from a non-functioning economy instead of a heavily sanctioned one. You know, just like what happened in Iraq, Libya, Syria, etc.
Libya specifically is a funny case. I remember when I was a kid, American politicians would go on and on about how repressive Gaddafi was and how he needed to be overthrown for the good of the poor, oppressed Libyan people. After Gaddafi was overthrown, Libya disappeared from the news overnight, even as al-Qaeda affiliated terrorist groups started annexing swathes of land and terrorist warlords were creating open-air slave markets where you could buy a Libyan person for around $300 USD. You'd think these sympathetic politicians would be more impassioned for spearheading humanitarian efforts in Libya, but lol the useful idiots over there got them what they wanted, who gives a fuck about that shithole now?
Gotta love that the protestors in Iran are in close proximity to countries that have gone through similar stuff, look at how it turned out, and are thinking "yeah, I wanna get in on that". That sub 80 IQ hard at work.

These protests will amount to nothing, just like the last set of them. The people doing the protests are the grandchildren of all the Iranian liberals, socialists and commies who realized that after they overthrew the Shah, that the Shah was actually protecting their secularized asses from the masses of barely literate peasants who followed Khomeini, who was smarter and shrewder than the secularized urbanites, despite having religious views pulled from Middle Ages.
Yes, the country is a lot more urban now, with many of the country bumpkins who moved to the cities now having kids more into hip hop than Shia theology, but they're making the same mistakes they made back in '77-'79, namely assuming their foes are stupider than they actually are, have no power base they can draw from, and most importantly that they can be guilted into submission.
No one from outside is going to risk their skin to save their asses, and the armed forces still back the government to the hilt. Eventually the Islamic Republic will fall, but it's not going to be because hordes of jobless urban 20-somethings armed with bricks and molotov cocktails brain or stab a few Basij after hundreds of theirs get shot or arrested.

It looks like that the players have started to sing again after "presaures" from the goverment.
Iran players end silent protest at World Cup amid threats of reprisal…

because nothing say that a country is "based" and "trad" as threats against players and their families.

Death to Iran.
All Arabs are very fucking stupid obviously, but of course if they were not, they would be able to see that their shithole countries are the worst on Earth, and therefore unlikely "Allah" is smiling down on them.
Death be upon it.

a big problem iran has is that their genetics aren't arab but the islam is. that means they have the genetic predisposition for "human rights" nonsense but the dominant religion of apocalyptic esoteric goatfucking. this leads to cultural conflict between urban bugmen and rural hutpeople, kinda like in the united states

The women of Iran are rising up — again. However, their struggle for freedom has not been smooth and continues to be challenging. Since the recent death of Kurdish-Iranian woman Mahsa Amini in the custody of the country’s morality police, Iranian cities and towns have erupted in outrage. These...

Well
Iran has warned the European Union of reciprocal measures if the bloc decides to list the revolutionary guards as a terrorist entity. Iranian media reports say that this is the message that country's Foreign Minister sent to EU's Foreign Policy Chief.

So are the protests still happening or not? did it die down?
That sir its the very definition of Sucker Idolizing Mediocre Pussy-behavior.
The same can be said about iraq: first literate civilization (sumer), first nation-state (akkad), and first empire with a standing professional army (assyria). What is iraq known for after islam? being a trade route and the center for what little of middle eastern science and culture was allowed in islam. The "islamic golden age" is actually the few remains of pre-islamic iraq that still remained.
I don't support a corrupt regime full of islamic fundies but I do think its ridiculous that after 40 years of this political and economic suffering its fucking hijabs what more men than women are dying for in these protests.

Over thousands of years the persians were home to many empires that were the superpowers of their times, and was a powerhouse of culture and industry. Ever since they were forced into islam persians have gone into a slow but steep decline.
