I tried to come up with a more palatable comment, and all I can think of to say is "fuck these stupid jackasses".
-
Naw, that about sums it up. It's depressing and pathetic.

Can you imagine your purpose in life being "the guy who makes sure people's scarves are good enough"?
-
Oh they salivate for it. Some people will jump at any chance to be a fascist.
-
“Oh no the Ferengi don’t want to stop the exploitation. We want to become the exploiters!”

Can you imagine your purpose in life being “the guy who makes sure people’s scarves are good enough”?
A more accurate interpretation: Can you imaginer your purpose in life being the guy who directly enforces oppression of women?
-
They get off of the idea.

Does this mean all of the protests from a few months back are done?
-
It's got to be hard to maintain the momentum once the government decides they're fine with murdering the protesters. The Iranian government also let women go without headscarves for this long, I imagine as a way to let the temperature cool. They never intended to repeal the law, only let the protests disperse letting the protesters think they'd won that small concession.
-
They're probably banking on protesters not being able to use Twitter to organize.
-
If only there was a way to have Twitter like features spread across hundreds if not thousands of independently owned servers that could join together in a sort of union or federation, if you will, as they see fit for their purpose. Oh well, I guess I can dream.

"Morality police " rapists and co come up with the fanciest names for themselves.
-
It's time for organised Iranians to start making Basijis disappear.

💀

Religion.what a fucking joke.

I do wish the women of Iran the best. I hope they still have the will to fight.

As I said months ago. In a war between the diet version of something and the pure version, the diet one always loses.
It wasnt about a secular government and freedom to not worship, it was about the rules being relaxed a bit. You don't fight to the death for showing your hair you fight to the death for sky-daddy.
Until they are willing to burn korans they will continue to live in a theocratic state.

Woman, Life, Freedom
-
Since Iranian men can't control themselves, women have to cover up.
-
A lot of the protesters were also men. Several of them had been shot and killed
-
Blame the oppressive government and religion, not the people. They're the victims.
-
-
Dumb question, but the headscarf's purpose is to cover the women's hair, right? So what if all protesting women go bald to piss the religious guys off, would that work?
-
fight back
-
'Morality police' sounds like a mockery, not the actual name they'd call themselves 😂
-
My guess is that it's a translation
-
-
Have they tried a Lysistrata yet?
-
I doubt it would work; unfortunately it seems that rape is pretty common over there.

Religious fundamentalism is a poison, that should not exist. Pure and simple. Freedom to the Iranian women.

Religion is perfect for making normal people act like a bunch of sociopaths.
” Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.”
You gotta source that quote, fam. I wanna know ^^
Religion is exploited by actual sociopaths to justify their behavior.
(most forms of) Religion is constructed to be exploited by actual sociopaths to justify their behavior.
FTFY
"With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil - that takes religion."
