  They are still happening, the western News just got bored of it. The morality police just received orders to start cracking down hard on women with uncovered heads. The government believes it has the authority to end any Iranians life for any reason, even outside of Iran. The clergy would rather burn down the entire country than let people live free from religious oppression. Without outside pressure, these protests are just going to mean more dead women and stiffer laws against them.

    The government exists by consent of the people or so I’ve been told…

      … but those ideas are pretty old. Today we see the will people, Being twisted and conformed into cloying treacle. By concent or force, it does not matter, They’ll take all we are and serve it on a platter.

      Iran is a fascist theocracy. There is no ‘consent of the people’ operative there. The theocrats kill enough people to stay in power.

      Only in democratic countries.

      Consent can be compelled through violence.

  Still going on, I’m keeping myself slightly updated by reading the reports from the Critical Threats Project.

  Protesters dead or in prison would be my guess.
