We all sympathize with the death of Mahsa Amini. However, don't be a fool and destabilize and destroy your own country at the hands of foreigners.

What do you intend to achieve with the chaos? Syria? Iraq? Afghanistan? Division of Iran into ethnic and religious enclaves? Because that is what the CIA/NSA/Mossad is working for.

I'm all for protests by and for Iranians but this is no longer something related to Iran.

And, you my dear sir, are of course a person working for foreign interests trying to get input from all of the tech people here who think they are doing good. You are not.

This is an attempt at a color revolution!

Both parts benefit. Educating people how to avoid the government in a open and public forum has the collateral of educating the Iranian government (the only part holding real, unlimited access outside the country) into where to look for and what signals to catch. They will learn the tricks fast, so is unclear if this will be good or bad for the Iranian people in the end.

I wonder, just wondering... if hair is forbidden and so disturbing for the male in that country, women with a full shaved head could just appear in public in mass without neither hiding their head, nor breaking the law, and [in theory] avoiding the entire legal trap without frontally opposing the power. Right?.

"You don't stand women hair, is dirty and lascivious for you?, okay, hair is gone, will not hidden anymore the purple spots in my head where you hit me. Are you happy now, manchild?"

I know that things are not so simple, but... oblique seems the way to go.

I am unsure... looking at pictures of iran in 1970 and they look quite happy being progressive back then. I could easily believe that people want to get back to to a similar lifestyle.

also see the movies : "my teheran for sale" and "Persepolis"

as much as I hate USA foreign policy, it is also possible that Iranians want peace and freedom outside of foreign interests.

not everything is black and white.

You can sit there and intellectualise from the safety of your democracy, but until you've had your country ripped away from you, you have no idea what you're talking about.

It gets me so angry when people criticise the very freedom that allows them to do that criticising. It's like tautological self-harm.
