And once again religion proves how full of shit it is.

An appeals court in Iran has confirmed a sentence of 74 lashes handed to a prominent singer who performed without the mandatory hijab,
Absolutely immoral demented and savage. Only religion can make otherwise "normal" people behave like outright sociopaths.
Religion didn't make this happen, sick conservative fucks use religion as a scapegoat to be sick fucks. Pay attention most of these twats don't actually follow their religious teachings, just cherry pick what they want to oppress people. Same shit we deal with in the USA with the bible thumpers.
sick conservative fucks use religion
Aaand there you are, religion most definitely plays a role to justify that shit.
Right, my problem is u said only religion can make regular people behave this way. My argument is that these are far from regular people, these are phychopaths that use religion as justification. No "regular" person comes to the conclusion somebody needs to be lashed because they didn't wear a hijab.
The worst part about Trump being the fucking man-child that he is is that the regime hardliners have now an even firmer grip on power, as he once again proved that there is no way of appeasing the US outside of complete capitulation.
Most analysts determined that Iran was in a political death spiral and that the worst thing the west could do was interfere. If the west stayed out of it, all signs pointed to a significantly more moderate regime change. Trump took office, Israel baited him, and Trump bit, like the moron he is.
Almost like a secular Iran isn't in Israel's geopol interest.
Conservatives need a Boogeyman
Also a "democratic Iran" means unsanctioned Iran. The last time sanctions were partially lifted, Iran's economy grew by 7% per year. Such economic growth means production growth. Production growth means arms prod growth. And that's arms that can "fall into the wrong hands" and could be used against Israel after one "wrong election." If I wanted to dominate the region militarily, I would do anything in my power to keep Iran under strict sanctions.
Funny thing, I've recently-ish listened to a podcast from late 2024, before Trump took office. The guest predicted that Trump would attack Iran because Republicans cover their shitty policies with warmongering, and Iran was the weakest of available targets.
Yeah, I was really rooting for the New Iran movement. Tankies called me a fucking zionist for it.
Now those hopes are shattered. Fuck trump, and fuck netanyahu.
It takes a certain kind of genius who can take a pariah state on the verge of collapse and turn it into a kind of underdog while destroying the world economy.
5 Weeks left for this asshole to do what he wants. The left has to come out in such large numbers that results cannot be disputed effectively by anyone.
She's lucky to be alive.
This is life under Islamic rule. There are no PRIDE parades in Iran. You better keep your head down and your mouth shut, or they will murder you.
Ain't theocracy horrible? Members of the Trump administration desire Christian Nationalism for the US, and were it come to pass, we'd see similar things, like systematic discrimination against LGBT people.
USA is already seeing the moral decline from religious influences. With extreme discrimination of minorities, and taking away the right to abortion.
Absolutely if this is allowed to continue it will get worse. But USA is already a country heavily influenced by religious fanaticism.
Go to any right wing part of the Internet, and they will insist that Liberals and Leftists support this.
From the comments here, I have no clue where they get the idea. I just don't want my own freedom of religion thrown in the trash because Republicans hate Muslims so much.
In no case of Western intervention have regular citizens fared better. Afghanistan. Iran. Iraq. Palestine. Syria is being "governed" by a CIA Al Nursa operative and Syrians are rioting, despite a brutal crackdown and Israeli mass destruction.
Women are better off under the Taliban than under US occupation?
Was it THAT bad?
