Iran - Tumblr Posts
Iran protest.
I never ask for reblogs but this needs to be reblogged. I'm not seeing many reblogs or posts about this in my feed. Whatever is happening in Iran, needs exposure to more and more people around the world. In the name of religion and morality, an innocent lost her life. We can never even know how many people have already lost their lives in the past years.
They talk about morality but do the most disgusting thing. It shouldn't be "Morality Police" when they are moral-less themselves and beat an individual to literal death.
Nobody can tell you how you want to wear your hijab or if you wanna wear it at all. It's about respect from the heart. And it is great shame on the Iranian government for trying to hide everything.
I'll add more posts as I find them. If you have something to share, please do it or link other posts for me as well!
art dump of some furry historical figures. mostly kings and dictators lol. I also finished my harpy hare storyboard which I will then animate. The two characters in the storyboard are Josip Broz Tito and Nicolae Ceausescu no i am not joking. Is it questionable? yes was it fun to do? also yes, will I continue to work on it? yes.
pictures of gifs of said historical figures because why not
i think the world doesn’t know what it really means to live in a theocratic dictatorship. Let me tell you about our experiences living in the islamic regime of iran.
1. Your parents were born to muslim parents so they’re automatically muslim. You’re automatically a muslim too. You didn’t choose your religion and you can’t opt out of it or you will be executed.
2. The compulsory hijab law makes you a criminal if you choose not to wear hijab even tho you didn’t choose to be a muslim and you don’t consider yourself a muslim but the regime has forced you into that role whether you like it or not. And when you ‘break that law’, they can do with you as they please.
3. little girls as young as 7 yrs old are forced to wear hijab at school even tho the islam itself says the age is 9. and all the schools are gender segregated so imagine how they force you to get used to hijab even when you’re just surrounded by other girls. And all day long at school they tell you horrible stories about what will happen to you in hell if someone sees even a strand of your hair.
4. the regime modifies all the textbooks, story books, cartoons and movies to represent the ideal woman with full on hijab. The iranian media is ordered to photoshop every photo of a woman that may be showing a little skin. And if they’re iranian, no hair is supposed to be seen or that will be photoshopped away. Women are mostly excluded from billboards and tv commercials.
5. imagine going to work or meeting up with a friend when suddenly the morality police kidnap you in broad daylight and force you into a van to take you to a station where they will treat you like a criminal and if you don’t agree to get humiliated and do as they say, they will put you in prison. And in case of Mahsa Amini and so many more before her, they will beat you to death. My sister was barely 18 when she got kidnapped and they didn’t let her call home and she’d been so fucking scared and we had no idea where she was. Imagine all the psychological trauma.
6. If you’re in a car and not wearing hijab they will fine you and seize your car. So when u get into a taxi the driver will ask you to keep your hijab on otherwise they’ll get fined. And if you refuse they’ll ask you to get off the car.
7. And its not just about hijab. In Ramadan, they get even more vicious. If they catch you eating or even drinking water on the street they will give you lashes as punishment and even imprison you for breaking the law. If you work in a state-owned company it’s even worse. They will close the cafeteria and take away the water dispensers. All restaurants are banned from delivering food before iftar. It’s a fucking mess. Everyone has to pretend they’re fasting or they’ll be severely punished.
8. And how could I forget about this! iranian women are banned from singing! the islamic regime prohibits women’s singing voices to be heard by men so imagine the horror of having 50% of the population banned from ever becoming a singer. If they identify a female singer in iran, they will take her to jail and force her to repent her sins in the most humiliating way so that she will never dare sing again.
9. And every time the regime gets wind of a private gathering of men and women trying to have fun and live their fucking private lives, the police crash the party and take everyone to jail bc the Islamic regime bans iranian men and women from having fun.
10. Did you know that the islamic regime doesn’t allow women’s faces to be printed on their obituaries or headstones? They put a flower for our faces instead and if they see a headstone with a woman’s face printed on it they’ll smash it to pieces. That’s how religious dictatorship continues to oppress and erase women even after their deaths.
11. For some reason, women aren’t allowed to ride motorcycles and the government won’t issue any license for them. In some cities, women are barred from riding a bicycle.
So if you see Islam has become for many iranians a symbol of oppression and torture and discrimination, that’s why. The regime uses islam as a weapon to silence and punish anyone who opposes them. You can love islam all you want from the safety of your home in a free country and talk about how kind and benevolent the religion is, but in iran, it’s a whole different story.
Our economy is fucked. All govt officials are corrupt as fuck. Most websites are banned in iran. Even tumblr is banned. The world has cut the iranian ppl from many services. We don’t have intl credit cards like visa card. Amazon doesn’t do delivery to iran. We cant get netflix, spotify or even a gamepass subscription. we don’t get any Apple services here. iran isn’t listed as a country you could choose when signing up for a lot of services. and when we decide to leave iran and escape this hellhole, every country out there will make it sooo much harder for us to get a visa just bc we had the misfortune to be born in iran at the wrong time.
This is the story of iran for the past 44 years. Held hostage by a corrupt regime that uses religion to suppress and torture the people and being abandoned by the rest of the world bc our lives don’t matter.
Please be our voice. Once they shut down the internet completely and silence our voice, they will start slaughtering us to stifle the protests just like they did in 2019. Please help us. We want this fucking regime gone.
Reminder that the international community all understood that Israel was "owed" a retaliatory strike after they struck in Iran earlier this year, but the US pleaded with and Warned them not to because it would hurt ceasefire talks in Palestine that the US was ostensibly working real hard on. And Iran listened, partly because they actually did not want to escalate. They're outmatched militarily by Israel and they know it.
And now we're here, after Israel has continued its genocide in Palestine and invaded Lebanon. The US's only action has been move troops to the region to defend Israel.
The Iranian protesters being called Islamophobic is like when black people of America stand up for themselves and are called anti-white. Not all Muslims in Iran are against freedom and many of them are actually standing with the protesters the way not all white people in America are white. but the protest is against those who are using their religion as a tool to shut others down and beat them into submission.
The people of Iran shouldn’t have to be Muslims and abide by Islamic rules to alive.
There is also the fact that not all Muslim believe and abide by all the rules. Not all Muslim women wear hijabs so if this was really about Islam, those people would be safe, which is absolutely not the case. Religion is a very personal thing, and should not be forced upon people.
Hijab may be a sign of religious freedom in the west but in Iran, for most people Hijab has become a uniform of oppression.
Many people are warping what these protests that are now happening in Iran stand for. Just know that the real reason they are happening is because the police of Iran Brutality murdered a 22 year old girl who was wearing the most normal version of the hijab that Iranian women wear.

hey, my kurdish friend wanted to point out that the iranian woman murdered by the police in tehran was a kurd and her kurdish name was jîna emînî. she has mostly been referred to as mahsa amini, the iranian version of her name, in the media & that can ofc still be used to make sure posts about her reach a mainstream audience. however people should make sure to mention her given kurdish name foremost, as well as highlight the fact that she was a kurd in the first place, because that played a part in her facing the violence that she did.
So when Israel assassinated Iran’s leader I had a whole mental breakdown with snot and tears. I gathered my mom and brother in the living room and told them what’s gonna happen. My little brother wants to be a Marine. I have no fucking clue why because he is in no way cut out for that life. Nor does he seem to understand the intensity of it. Right now he’s 15 and I’m hoping in the next 3 years he will finally mature a little (if at all) and come to his senses and realize that a military life does not suit him.
Anyway, what I told them was this; the US is going to war. Maybe not right now but eventually Iran will retaliate and give Israel an opportunity to declare war. Biden has never kept his word on anything since he was elected. He is supplying weapons to Israel. He said he would NOT get us into another war. That’s bullshit and I don’t believe him. He is going to make us join the fight on Israel’s side and the Republicans are gonna back him up because they are all too stupid to realize that this is the perfect opportunity for Biden to get re-elected.
Democrats and Republicans are both funded by AIPAC which is basically just Israel paying our politicians for their loyalty and support. So almost everyone in an elected position right now is a Zionist. Enablers, supporters, traitors. All of them. Anyone who isn’t a Zionist hasn’t done shit to stop them so they are complicit as well.
Basically, all odds are stacked in the favor of the pedophilic Christian nationalists known as the U.S Government. The people have been brainwashed and indoctrinated for generations through the manipulation of our education system, lack of funding for infrastructure, gerrymandering, media monopolies peddling misinformation, and intentional destruction of community and culture, especially among areas with a high population of minorities. They have turned everyone against each other and thus there is no class solidarity in America. Because of this there is no armed rebellion or organized violent protest. There is just a smattering of walk outs and sit ins and everyone who has studied history knows that peaceful protest is a waste of time and effort.
There will be no resistance. There hasn’t been in a while. The rise of Nazi Germany happened just like this. It’s going to happen again. Except this time it’s happening to the most powerful and imposing nation in the world. A nation with the world’s largest Navy, Air Force, and Army. And all of our military branches are going to get bigger. Congress passed a law that now automatically registers every male 18 years or older for the Selective Service. This means that when the US enters the war with Israel, there may be a draft and that draft will include every man of age in the US. It’s possible that enough Zionists will enlist and the draft won’t be necessary but still there’s a precedent for that kind of fuckery and we call it Vietnam. That’s why my little brother was included in this convo. I do not want to see him forced to fight and die for a country that isn’t his.
The second part of that convo was explaining that a war will accelerate climate change resulting in the AMOC collapsing. This will devastate entire ecosystems. We already knew that with overfishing continuing at this rate that there won’t be enough fish left in the sea by 2050 to support the fishing industry and that will result in a whole lot of impoverished people starving to death. AMOC collapse wouldn’t just speed that up it would wipe out entire species. It will also create bigger, stronger, hurricanes, raise sea levels to catastrophic heights and eliminate coastal civilizations. Even worse it would create a perpetual drought for the Amazon Rainforest killing 10% of the world’s biodiversity. It will make the southern hemisphere hotter and the northern hemisphere colder. People will freeze death, die of heatstroke, dehydration, starvation, or fall victim to a natural disaster. The last time the AMOC slowed it ushered in an Ice Age. If the US military increases emissions they will speed us towards the next, and possibly final, Mass Extinction.
Of course, I was told that I am jumping to conclusions and that I needed to calm down and stop spiraling. Maybe I am spiraling. But the thing is, in 2019 I told my mom I needed face masks. She asked why and I explained that every 100 years humanity experiences a global pandemic. The last one was in 1920 so the next will be 2020 and since I’m immunocompromised I wanted to make sure I’m protected. I also told her that the news was saying there’s a new unidentified virus in China and I think it’s very likely that that will become the next pandemic. She also told me that time I was spiraling and that I needed to stay off the internet for a while. Anyone wanna guess what happened the next year?
I don’t think I’m spiraling anymore. I think I’m right, because today, on what is likely to be our final Independence Day thanks to a deeply corrupt Supreme Court’s complete undermining of the rule of law and the complete lack of enforcement of the checks and balances that is outlined in our Constitution, Iran has retaliated against Israel.
The reason this is terrifying is because this gives Biden the perfect reelection campaign. Trump is a felon and hated even by Republicans so he already has a leg up. He’s also .05% less Hitler than Trump so to the average liberal he still looks great. Thanks to the recent Supreme Court decision he also has the power of a monarch or dictator. He said he wouldn’t use this new power but like I said he’s always full of shit. What is likely to happen is that in order to secure his seat of power he will rally the Zionists to his cause and bring the US into a new war on the side of Israel. We all know the popular vote is useless and the Electoral College is rigged so if he does take us to war he’s basically guaranteed reelection. Republicans and Democrats alike are chomping at the bit to commit war crimes because they all invest in defense contractors so war will just line their pockets even more.
The speed at which we head towards total destruction is now entirely in the arthritic hands of a drugged up dementia patient. And as I sit here listening to fireworks in the distance that ironically mimics the sound of the artillery we supply to Israel, I am so incredibly heartbroken. When compared to the entirety of Earth’s history, humanity is but a flash in the pan. We have barely even begun and we are already almost gone. It is quite literally the end of the beginning and the beginning of the end. What a waste of potential. Or maybe there was never any potential. Maybe the reason we haven’t found other intelligent life is because it is a curse. Doomed to destroy ourselves and comprehend our own suffering. Maybe this universe is better off without the spark of life.
I can only hope that I am wrong. I want to be humiliated. I want to be embarrassed that I would ever think such a future awaits. But so far, I have only been proven right. Now the only hope I have left is that this world which is so deeply ironic in the worst of ways is just a cruel simulation created by some incomprehensible higher power. That we are toys in the hands of creation. That all this cruelty and suffering had a purpose, even if it was just to amuse some omnipotent evil.
Maybe Hell is real. Maybe this is it. Maybe we are just existing in the forms most suited for our miseries.
Iran and Lebanon now have the absolute right to defend themselves. This isn’t just a war on Islam or a genocide anymore, this is a war on children. Israel intentionally targets children. They kill children. They mutilate children. They rape children. They bomb children. There is no word in any language to truly encapsulate the evil of the Zionist collective.
It’s beautiful. Like a constellation tumbling out of the hands of an angry god. Even the stars themselves wish for the extinction of Zionism.
It's been 6 days since the UN confirmed systemic rape of Palestinians by Israel
