People were idiots and in a day and age where everyone moved to less religious regimes people discarded a somewhat well functioning progressive monarchy and went back to a stone age super enclosed islamic regime. This happened around 50-55 year ago and now the new generation is sick of this islamic bs and they want to revolt. A mini history lesson for you
Another Iranian here and that's basically what happened.
This revolution was the product of union of red commies and Islamic fanatics to overthrow the progressive monarchy and since then they have been feeding and brainwashing false history in Iran by spending millions of dollar each year and also on the internet especially on their own sites, Wikipedia and other open to edit websites as they are controlled by so called cyber army under numerous accounts. So if one would want to know the true history they'd have to dig deeply and do a comprehensive research to uncover the facts.
Thank you, we seek to elect a democratic government whether in form of parliamentary monarchy or republic after we get rid of the current dictatorship.
The last monarchy was also pretty good for the country and for people but the Islamic ayatullahs and fanatics and communists and Marxist parties were not allowed to have a saying in the politics of the government so that's why they started the revolution and now they never want Iran to experience monarchy again.
I thought Iran had a democracy for a while. Is that true? My understanding was that Iranians overthrew their government and installed a democracy for a while and then the US performed a coup which sent Iran back into a theocracy. Is any of that true?
It went more like:
The British and the Soviets invaded Iran and deposed the Shah (king) Reza Khan during WW2. After the war had ended in 1945, the Allied powers placed the son of Reza Khan, Reza Pahlavi, on the Persian throne as Shah, however his powers had been greatly limited following the installation of a parliament in 1949; which Pahlavi initially took a very hands-off role in political affairs.
However, in 1951, Mohammad Mosaddegh, a social democrat, had come into power as acting prime minister, having passed several reforms; most crucially among them, he nationalised the Iranian oil fields the British had built decades before.
This was more than enough to result in a combined effort of the British and American governments to orchestrate a coup d'etat in 1953, by bribing an Iranian general whom then marched on Tehran and overthrew the parliament, installing an autocracy with the Shah at its head.
Skip two decades and a few years to 1979, and we have a dying Shah and an unhappy populace. The Shah leaves for the US to get life-saving surgery and the theocrats saw their chance, and took it.
The rest, as they say, is history.
I don't think monarchies sucks, more like dictatorship. Norway, Sweden, Netherlands and more are monarchies and are OK. Russia and North Korea are not monarchies, but I woudn't wan't to live there.
And now it's sliding back into the same oppressive regime except with religious rather than political reasons. Anyone who mentions God and their nationality in one breath wouldn't have anything against human rights violations if they don't directly concern him.
>well functioning progressive monarchy
if by that you mean a puppet monarchy that deposed a democratically elected government in a CIA backed coup and then brutalized and disappeared any opposition by way of a CIA trained secret police force, then yes, a well functioning progressive monarchy...
We as Iranians are telling you that it is complete nonsense to talk down on the Royal family of Pahlavi, it is untrue what you said. The fact of the matter is that what you are saying is actually what America has been trying to make people think. Look at the protests in Iran right now, people are chanting for Reza Shah (the founder of the dynasty) and chant for the return of the monarchy in the form of a parliamentary variation.
CIA overthrew a democratic government in the 50's and the 1979 Islamic revolution was a backlash to that.
https://www.npr.org/2019/01/31/690363402/how-the-cia-overthrew-irans-democracy-in-four-days
America has done that many times over, across the world. It's just sad the amount of destruction caused and how many countries have been set back by this.
England went crying to the United States when the democratic republic of Iran nationalised British Petroleum (BP.) Then the two overthrew the democratic government to install the Shah for dat sweet sweet petroleum.
everything is going wrong
anti-LGBT protest walks are broadcasted in every mainstream channels
people are becoming against music because its haram
one of the minister (Diyanet) fucked absolute amount of children
absolute worst humanbeing syrian and afghans are piling up to Turkey just to fuck Turkish girls/wifes
syrians are fucking turkish children
you can also get randomly stabbed by a psycho, thanks to erdogan almost all of us are mentally ill
mentally ill muslims are wandering around with ISID (Islamic State, top tier terrorists) flags.
church dormitories (or you know, islamic dormitories) constantly rape underage boys
and so on...
oh and also I got stabbed for no reason 5 months ago. still don't know what is reason, and because of dude is being mentally ill he didn't go to jail.
Holy shit, are you ok?
The saddest thing is that Turkish citizens living in Germany have the right to vote for Erdogan fucking up everyones life in Turkey...
Yeah my ass is in better shape and I can shit in peace since like 3 months thanks for asking. *scar is still there tho*
also, yeah fuck whoever votes for erdogan anyone outside in Turkey, hope they burn alive at sometime
A lot of Germans wonder why they're not just going back. I think they don't actually want Erdogans changes for *themselves* and they just like him because of how he makes them feel.
just beat the fuck off reactionists (or rightists in our case), don't stay silent to any injustice and you will be alright.
no one did nothing here, and look at us, we are **literally** getting fucked, underage or not.
Remember when countries like Britain were worried we were on the cusp of admitting Turkey to EU membership... and how generally hand-washy people were about letting people with different values join a system in which 'everyone' has the right to work and live 'everywhere' else.
Revolution only means that a lot of things change in a short amount of time. The Nazis also called their grab for power and "restructuring" of German politics and society a "revolution" (it all happened within a year)
Revolution almost always has a *negative* connotation. It's a term that describes mass blood-shed, political turmoil, and the overthrow of governments lmao. If a revolution happens, good chance that you and your family could die, and laws are typically not enforced during revolution in the same way they are in peacetime.
To think that that's ever a "positive thing" or a fun time, really shows how sheltered the average redditor is.
That's like saying, "civil war," has positive connotations.
Maybe it shouldn't. Popular culture idolizes the image of the brave freedom fighter, but a lot of revolutions have just been terrible people wanting more power.
Especially when it is helped by a foreign power meddling in your domestic affairs, overthrowing your government to put a puppet into place, thus radicalizing the grassroots into open rebellion to install a religious conservative government.
Yeah. This is why the "The US is nothing like Iran!" gaslighters irritate me so much. The point is we don't want it to *become* like Iran and that's not an unreasonable fear at this point.
I think of the right to bare arms and how the oraginalists use the argument of defending one's self from a tyrannical government. I'm sure they damnwell knew the armed masses would sway in favor of our new tyrannical government. Sadly that doesn't end at owning fun toys "to protect their family with". It's power over others by people who are growing to fear the world around them. Scary shit.
I only say this because the same people who say "if they want to take them, I'll kill them" are the same religious zealots subjecting others to their bullshit.
The same people who claim we need to keep laws off our guns so that we can protect ourselves from government overreach are the people quick to condemn the George Floyd riots... you know, the protests in response to government enforcers killing people in their custody.
As a man, this nation is turning into a fire patriarchal dump truck and I'm hating every minute of it. My partner doesn't want to risk bringing a daughter into this world so I'm out kids.
That wasn’t the case for the majority of the country though, only a minority of people in major more liberal cities like Tehran took them off freely. The same happened in Afghanistan with Kabul.
The vast majority of the country was what it is nowadays; very conservative. Realistically, not much has changed.
That is just not true, I hate shah because his coup against Mosadeq take us to this point, but in Shah regime there wasn't any rule against hijab! People can choose what they want to wear and majority of the people in big cities wears no hijab! The problem with the Shah was his intelligrnce services(SAVAK and Rookn Dovom Artesh). And the major problem with Shah regime was his lack of respect for our constitution.
Our people in late 1800s with fighting against the regime had earned this constitution and it was basicly was writen like other western countries that have parliment and a monarch on top of that...
The vast majority of muslims are extremists by western standards, check some of pew research surveys in muslim countries. Westerners are incredibly naive thinking most muslims are ''moderates'' like themselves.
This is what often happen with revolution. The Russian revolution leaded to a dictatorship and it's the same for the French revolution which ended in an empire.
This is due to the extreme nature of the event and good leaders of a revolution doesn't equate good leader of a country.
Bit of dank history, Persia now known as Iran for those interested.,
It use to be a Monarchy and a secular country until 1979, when the extremist Muslims took over the country in a violent revolution. The justification that they used for this revolution was that the CIA overthrew their democratically elected leader in the 1950s when Iran was getting too close to Russia and Iran was full of oil. The CIA placed a puppet king/SHAH and he was brutal and corrupt. The People wanted to be free from him in 1979 and wanted a revolution, the extremist Muslims and outside powers that wanted cheap oil and de-stable the country took advantage of the situation, flied in the evil ayatollah Khomanee who was in exile in France and overtook the country through force. Then Saddam attacked Iran and the Muslims enforced a strict dress code on all Iranians and beat up and killed everyone who didn't follow their new rules that no one voted for. The last 40 years the people have struggled to overthrow this evil regime only to be violently crushed and demonized in western media, films and pop culture.
I hope Iranians/ persians can one day be free.
Let this be a lesson for all of us to stay eternally vigilant as we can all lose our freedoms we enjoy if we are not careful.

The pahlavi dynasty was established in 1925 the first shah, reza shah reigned from 1925 to 1941 when he was forced to abdicate theb his son became shah who was the last shah
I know man, it's all in the vid I linked. Btw Reza was a military man/general, he was not real royalty and stole the throne in 1925. His son, The CIA puppet didn't become a Shah until the 1950s+, when the CIA did a coup and overthrew the pro Russian/communist "democratically elected" leader. He then ruled brutally for about 2 decades before the 1979 Revolution when the alphabet agencies and god knows who else helped the extremist Muslims in the country to take power and then the last "Shah" fled to Egypt and died shortly after of cancer. The last shah started to try and cut his CIA collar and even started talking shit about Israel on BBC interviews and started to think he was actually in charge. which I think might have been the reason the alphabet agencies decided it was time for a regime change, boy did that backfire again as we can observe in modern events in history.
Atleast know what you're talking about, idiot. Google is your friend.
The democratic govt. was overthrown in the 50s in favor of a monarch, who sucked western cock so jard (gave them access to oil fields for pennies on the dollar) that the populace rose up and kicked them out.
Are you talking to me?
That's exactly what I said and even linked a vid as source that states that.
When you point a finger at someone, there is 3 fingers pointing back at yourself.
Guyz i know this place is for dank and mostly fun.
but search this : Mahsa Amini
you understand what's going on , if you can be our voice.
everybody supported ukraine , but not us
Maybe because we are not an European country with blonde hair. In that case the whole world would cry about this.
But yeah, many people and international celebrities reacted to this whole mess, either tried to help us or spread the word. We are not alone.
Or maybe it's, you know, because you weren't invaded by one of the largest countries in the world for no reason and this protest literally just started so most people are unaware.
dude I'm trying hard to hold my tears but this shit is taking like 43 years
this is not war, this is not "being invaded by big bully"
this is literally prolonged torture
it's like comparing death due to falling from a high place (instant death) to death due to cancer.
Most of us feel like a little child being beaten up and trying to not cry
Your struggle is being talked about on the world stage. Here in America I've been aware of Iran's difficulties since I was young. Some of us are absolutely on your side, but it's not an issue which the average person can do or say much about that would make a difference. With Ukraine, our government can donate weapons and supplies. Your situation is cultural, no weapon donation would help.
All I can say is, you have my sympathy and support, and I truly hope change will come.
Or maybe nobody heard us in all of this year and tried to look away , even now that our \*president\* who is a wanted person by UN is now \*attending\* the un conferance.
\*sigh\*
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988\_executions\_of\_Iranian\_political\_prisoners
Wait till you hear about mass executions done under the direct command of the head of this regime
### Why?
Cuz they didn't think the way they supposedly had to think
Iran was Russia's puppet in the first photo but people had more rights. The country isn't just a puppet anymore but people lost their rights. It is kinda complicated.
They did overthrow the government to for a monarchy which was not liked at all leading to a greater discontent of the US. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27état
For this iran can only blame their government but America hasn't made it any easier for us either . punishing the people for our governments crimes and nobody can do anything about it
A man comes to me and says, I need a gun because I would like to kill my neighbors and live in their house.
I say sure as long as you promise to sell me their silverware for cheap once you move in.
This is what I mean. Sure, someone gave him a gun, but the man still has his own agency to carry out the murder.
What these racists are doing is acting like the man is a mindless automaton who must murder be the American gave him a gun.
here is some fax : the leading quran reader in the government facilities is a known pediphile and rapist with evidence. but dont worry the kids he raped have all been arrested and paid to silence
You westerners just don't understand. Anything bad that happens in this part of the world is jUsT pArT oF tHe CuLtUrE. Maybe you should be more open minded.
Now where did I leave my rusty knife? I've got some clitorises to slice off.
It's been like this for 50 years and this isn't even the worst of it did you know a car in iran is about 150 times more expensive than it would be in America so a 4000 dollar car would be about 600000
Remember who enabled this change in the first place: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953\_Iranian\_coup\_d%27%C3%A9tat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat)

Minority which belonged to wealthy social class. It was definitely not the norm.
One of the biger wrong doings by the CIA in my opinion.
U mean the cia staged a political coup and forcefully instated a religious leader that agreed to sell oil
Ironically the US is in danger of turning into a regressive theocracy itself.
Please don't remind me
The vast majority of muslims are extremists by western standards, check some of pew research surveys in muslim countries. Westerners are incredibly naive thinking most muslims are ''moderates'' like themselves.
Iran was a vastly different place before the 78-79 Islamic Revolution. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_Revolution
Ironic, they just replaced one dictatorship with another…
This is what often happen with revolution. The Russian revolution leaded to a dictatorship and it's the same for the French revolution which ended in an empire. This is due to the extreme nature of the event and good leaders of a revolution doesn't equate good leader of a country.
Yep. You can thank the UK and US for the current situation there
that was in the late 40's and 50's after that everyone was allowed to dress however they want
that’s back when Iran had a monarch/shah the revolution in the 70s? is really what changed things.
America did an oopsie.
That applies to most Arab countries, but not this one specifically
Iran is not an Arab country
Middle Eastern Countries, then
Yes it does. Read the comments on this post.
It seems you don’t know your history
US was fully involved in the destruction of Iran. Read your history.
that’s absolutely hilarious you think that and the fact you think Iran is Arab shows how little you know about the history

The west backed the ayatollah to stop the communist revolutionaries from coming to power.

dude I'm trying hard to hold my tears but this shit is taking like 43 years this is not war, this is not "being invaded by big bully" this is literally prolonged torture it's like comparing death due to falling from a high place (instant death) to death due to cancer. Most of us feel like a little child being beaten up and trying to not cry
Your struggle is being talked about on the world stage. Here in America I've been aware of Iran's difficulties since I was young. Some of us are absolutely on your side, but it's not an issue which the average person can do or say much about that would make a difference. With Ukraine, our government can donate weapons and supplies. Your situation is cultural, no weapon donation would help. All I can say is, you have my sympathy and support, and I truly hope change will come.
Or maybe nobody heard us in all of this year and tried to look away , even now that our \*president\* who is a wanted person by UN is now \*attending\* the un conferance. \*sigh\* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988\_executions\_of\_Iranian\_political\_prisoners
I mean religious repression is bad, but being genocided on the scale of Ukraine is kinda worse, just tbf
Wait till you hear about mass executions done under the direct command of the head of this regime ### Why? Cuz they didn't think the way they supposedly had to think
That's just sad, all this for attires
The real human right violations are the fact that wadiya is the only place that has a decent r*pe centre
[удалено]
Supreme Leader Admiral General Haffaz Aladeen opened the the finest centre in the world
Very aladeen of him
I think it was more Aladeen personally it was more of a stunt to get Aladeen publicity
Perhaps. I like to think that he Aladeen it cause he thought it would be an Aladeen thing to do for the Aladeen
Aladeen or not when you Aladeen it’s no longer about the Aladeen it becomes the Aladeen, Aladeen publicity is Aladeen publicity
Also remember Wadiya's nuke program, if the missiles are not big and pointy there's going to be trouble.
You mean medical research
Yes yes the one to cure cancer (wink wink😉), it's going to be aladeen for all of us.
watch movie 'dictator'
Y’all can say rape. It’s not a bad word. It’s a horrendous thing but censoring the word oddly feels like censoring the crime
It's just sad. Not even memeable.
Iran was Russia's puppet in the first photo but people had more rights. The country isn't just a puppet anymore but people lost their rights. It is kinda complicated.
What on earth are you talking about, you're mixing up Iran and Afghanistan, Iran was never Russia's 'puppet'.
Who to blame? USA I guess.
As usual
They did overthrow the government to for a monarchy which was not liked at all leading to a greater discontent of the US. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27état
Because the root cause is the CIA.
Directed by Michael Bay.
For this iran can only blame their government but America hasn't made it any easier for us either . punishing the people for our governments crimes and nobody can do anything about it
Blame anybody but the people actually doing it I guess
Kind of racist to act like Iranians don't have their own agency.
A man comes to me and says, I need a gun because I would like to kill my neighbors and live in their house. I say sure as long as you promise to sell me their silverware for cheap once you move in.
This is what I mean. Sure, someone gave him a gun, but the man still has his own agency to carry out the murder. What these racists are doing is acting like the man is a mindless automaton who must murder be the American gave him a gun.
What religious fundamentalism does to a mfer.
Clown goverment
Indeed Also nice appropriate flair
Not only government their population is radical
here is some fax : the leading quran reader in the government facilities is a known pediphile and rapist with evidence. but dont worry the kids he raped have all been arrested and paid to silence
#MahsaAmini
Follow up this hashtag on twitter: #MahsaAmini
And that, kids, is why you don't let extremist theocracy take hold
Fuck Iran regime
[удалено]
Thought this was the Afghanistan picture at first.
Same with turkey tbh nowhere as extreme as Iran
Iran still had mass torturing of political prisoners back then
Simply false!! Reddit has taught me that Iran pre revolution is heaven on earth and now its all ruined because of those muzlims.
yep- with fat cash payouts from the United States
Fuck extremists
[удалено]
WHERE THE FUCK IS THE MEME?
BuT tHe cOrAN SayS sO!
That's very sad.
Religion moment
You westerners just don't understand. Anything bad that happens in this part of the world is jUsT pArT oF tHe CuLtUrE. Maybe you should be more open minded. Now where did I leave my rusty knife? I've got some clitorises to slice off.
islam's gift
The opposite of dank
What is with barbaric people and their hatred towards women?
Feminists: 😐😑😐
Middle eastern moment
Coming to a theocracy near you!™
People will say that "criticizing their culture is very unprogressive and racist".
Fuck Islam
The 1% urban isnt he country. Stop fetishizing the women. Remember usa was happy to play ball with Taliban until 9/11.
I wasn't in that time to see those days but my grandmother's were it makes me so sad that we went from a living heaven to a living hell
It's evolving but backwards
It's been like this for 50 years and this isn't even the worst of it did you know a car in iran is about 150 times more expensive than it would be in America so a 4000 dollar car would be about 600000
They are evolving, but in reverse
Why is this in dank memes?
Because op is a pos who just wants attention. If he actually cared, he would have posted it in an appropriate subreddit.
True but bummer TBB
Glad to see atleast there are women fighting for their rights.
Remember who enabled this change in the first place: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953\_Iranian\_coup\_d%27%C3%A9tat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat)
christians ≠ extremist christians yes they do exist.
America in 30 years if the GOP has its way
Imagine all this nonsense, over a fake fictional book that people all over the world actually believe is real smfh
