مبارزه مدنی در برابر حاکمیتی که به هیچ قاعدهای پایبند نیست، نه فضیلت است و نه مبارزه. نوعی مازوخیسم سیاسی و سوخترسانی به ماشین سرکوب است.
وقتی طرف مقابل منطقش گلوله و قانونش طناب دار است، اصرار بر روشهای مسالمتآمیز، خلع سلاح کردن جامعه و خریدن زمان برای استبداد است. اخلاقگرایی یکطرفه در برابر هیولای بیاخلاق، حماقتی است که تنها هزینهی تغییر را گزافتر و عمر ظالم را طولانیتر میکند.
این جنس روایتها به رغم موضع حقبه جانب، چیزی نیست مگر نسخهی شیکی از همان فرافکنی جنگسردی؛ همان رمانتیسیسمِ کهنهای که ناخواسته، «استبداد خودی» را پشت «نظم جهانی» محو میکند.
نه دوست عزیز؛ ما قربانی کاپوچینوی ارزان شهروند غربی نشدهایم؛ قربانی آن هیولای فرانکشتاینی شدیم که از ۵۷، خودمان به دست خودمان ساختیماش؛
وقتی که آن مدرنترین و کارآمدترین نظم اقتصادی، فرهنگی و «درک توسعهگرایانه»که خاورمیانهی نکبتزده تا آن زمان به چشم دیده بود را، با چرکترین و متعفنترین بخش سنتهامان تعویض کردیم و سالها بهش مفتخر بودیم.
ایران را مالیاتدهنده آمریکایی، شهروند آلمانی و مصرفکننده فرانسوی ویران نکرد؛
ایدئولوژی آپوکالیپتیک، فساد بیحد، سرکوبِ جنونبار سایکوتیک، و غارتِ چَپو زده و ایلیاتی ویران کرد.
وقتی علت را در بیرون جستوجو کنیم، مسئول اصلی را از صحنهی جرم خارج کردهایم.
WATCH: BlackRock's Larry Fink say the quiet part out loud. He implies the U.S. must finish the war with Iran at all costs, because losing it means a great depr/recession.
"If there's a cessation of war and yet Iran remains a threat... We could have years, years of $100-150 oil."
به اودین قسم، چیزی که ما میبینیم، این است که تهران بیشتر شبیه یک پادگان نظامی بوده که عدهای آدم هم وسطش زندگی میکردند.
پادگان نظامی با مقاومت مدنی سقوط نمیکند.
I can't believe humans were gifted a planet full of famine, disease, and death and invented fusion, vaccines, moon rockets, and so much food that most people die from obesity.
The current Iranian regime is not part of a 6000 year old civilization. It’s a 47-year-old colonial government that forced its Islamism on that civilization.
I’m not just angry. I’m furious with you Elizabeth Warren.
Stop using the suffering of my people as political ammunition against Donald Trump.
You say you are grieving for those killed in this “unnecessary war.”
Really? I checked your social media. More than 20 posts attacking President Trump after he removed a monster terrorist of Iran, Ali Khamenei, but not one post grieving the massacre of more than 32,000 unarmed Iranian people. Why? Shocking.
More than 10,000 protesters were intentionally blinded by security forces. Young women were shot in the eyes. Students were beaten to death. Families were burying their children. Where were you then?
We are not a tool. The pain of us Iranians is not a talking point for your partisan battles.
As a woman, your silence while women in Iran were being shot, jailed, and blinded is more than disappointing. It is insulting. No it is beyond that. It is a slap in the face of Iranian mothers burying their children who have been killed by Islamic Republic.
I cannot ignore this hypocrisy.
Our suffering did not fit your narrative. Our voices were inconvenient. Now that the situation serves your political agenda, you speak loudly.
Very heartbreaking to see, powerful women in the West totally ignoring Iranians being slaughtered. 💔
This is remarkable. People will still be writing about Ukrainian courage and resilience in 100 years. On paper, this is one of the biggest mismatches in modern military history. Russia expected to take the country in days. And yet, Ukraine stands.
@nntaleb We have almost three main subcultures in Iran, and none of them has an absolute majority. The Islamic Republic represents one of them.
I hope you can read Farsi and read this article:

Mohammad Ghaed explain the situation clearly
@nntaleb The Islamic Republic of Iran has been a minority since its establishment; it has always been like an island in the sea. It has survived due to its oil and the brutality it can display.
“Nearly all the traffic cameras in Tehran had been hacked for years, their images encrypted and transmitted to servers in Tel Aviv and southern Israel.. ‘we knew Tehran like we know Jerusalem’, said one current Israeli intelligence official”
Can we all just admit Israel is really cool? https://t.co/oyIzuLxXm7
