After 3 months of my internet being cut off by IRGC, 2 days ago I finally came online and I've been crying since for my people, for them having their simplest of rights being taken away from them.

These past 3 months so many innocent people got executed for the reason of them being against this Islamic regim (IRGC), and in any case you haven't heard, more than 43,000 people got killed in only 2 days :) and rarely anybody talked about them. And since those days more people have been killed, raped and tortured for speaking up about the truth of IRGC. No, the majority of Iranians don't want this regim, we are barely surviving under this dictatorship as human beings (you can't imagine how hard it is for people in the minority groups). Also about the tragedy of Minab's school, even the cause of that was this regim for we, Iranians, are grieving their death. Death to this regim.

It is so cruel that my people get to live like this. When I came online and I saw so many updates from my favorite games and fandoms I felt like I couldn't breath, for I wanted to live a normal life, my people want the same but here we are trying out different VPNs to see which one works.

Even with our internet back, we won't stop talking about the evil actions (and evil existence) of Iran's Islamic regim.

I ask you to do the same.

I know it is a privilege to feel things deeply, but what the fuck.

i carry a grief for a soul i never touched, a yearning for someone who was never mine, and sometimes it’s all i feel.

Iranians are protesting to reclaim Iran. The Islamic Republic has cut the internet and phone lines-I've lost all contact with my family and friends. It feels like Bloody Aban again, when people were jailed and killed in silence. I'm scared

After 50 days people are still dying. Injured people, with war grade guns, are still being announced dead. Your silence towards this will be judged by history.

Merlin Hermes from Lord of the Mysteries, standing beside the Lion and Sun flag — the symbol of the true Iran.

On December 28 and 29, thousands lost their lives (at least 36,000 people were killed in just two days), and arrests and executions are still ongoing. Even when we gather to mourn, we are met with bullets.

More than 40 days have passed, and we Iranian artists are bringing our favorite characters together with our nation’s true flag to make our voices heard around the world.

Looking at pictures of Iran before the islamic revolution, it amazes me how a country can go from being such an amazing place to such a horrifying place in what seems like a brief snapshot of time (and perhaps felt that way as well.) The death, destruction, and oppression that have resulted since the islamic government ruined Iran is one of the most soul-crushingly tragic historical events of the modern era. If the people of Iran manage to overthrow the dystopian nightmare they live under now, it'll go down in history books as being one of the greatest victories for humanity of the 21st century.

250k people protesting in germany for iran and didnt see one fucking post about it on here? why are you all so selective with your activism it's infuriating.

[nihils-blog]

Forty days have passed since that day, and the killing still continues.

We are not even allowed to mourn at the graves of our loved ones.

They seal the squares with concrete and stone and deny us entry.

We are not allowed to scatter flowers in the streets where the blood of our loved ones once flowed and ran cold upon the ground.

Every day, people are arrested in their homes.

Black sacks are pulled over their heads and they are taken away to nowhere.

After forty days, the sound of their gunfire still echoes.

Sometimes I ask myself: how many bullets did you have?

Why didn’t you spend that money on these very people instead of making them?

Did you build anything but weapons?

And whatever remained, you poured into your insatiable bellies.

All this blood spilled upon the earth meant nothing to them,

and still they continued.

They do not even leave us alone at the graves of our loved ones;

they come with guns so that we do not dare to chant.

We have become three groups:

our loved ones beneath the soil,

the living dead who walk upon it,

and the demons who feed on the blood of the other two.

No one hears our voice.

No one knows what justice we seek,

and they are still intent on plundering whatever remains of our resources.

The regime killed people my age—people younger than me, older than me.

They killed someone with the same name as me.

They killed someone in my favorite place, in the city where I lived.

They killed my friend’s father.

They killed my friend’s sister.

They killed a friend of a friend.

They killed a friend.

They killed brave people with dreams.

People who loved life.

I wish I could write a poem.

I wish I could write all their names.

I wish they could have their tea on the morning of freedom.

I wish we could see a free Iran someday.

Addressing Misinformation

Whether it's deliberate or not, some people have surfaced who are spreading misinformation about what's going on in Iran, claiming that it's the doing of the CIA or Mossad, which is categorically false.

Let's review a brief, but not comprehensive, list of problems that people have been dealing with for decades:

Violence against anyone who speaks up against the regime

Rape and torture of prisoners

Executions after 10 to 15-minute trials

Religious and ethnic repression

Oppression of women and LGBT people

Child marriage

Neglect and destruction of the environment

Disregard and destruction of Iran's pre-Islamic heritage, which has always been important to Iranians and even more important now as an act of resistance (See how they're letting Persepolis fall into ruin.)

Stealing Iranian's money to line their own pockets and fund lavish lifestyles, which go completely against the lifestyle they force on people

Funding terrorist proxies

Economic collapse

Poverty and starvation

No water and electricity

Internet censorship

This isn't outside interference. This is Iranians rising up again as part of their ongoing fight against nearly 47 years of oppression and wanting to take back their country to live the lives they deserve. To claim otherwise disregards the agency of Iranians and implies that they only must live under a terrorist regime. It's an insult to the memory of all people who have sacrificed their lives until now to fight the regime, whitewashes the regime's actions, and erases the regime's victims.

Watching so many of the Left, the ones who are supposed to care about people, supporting and celebrating actual terrorists and dictators who murder their own people in the streets, who use rape as a war weapon, who kidnap and kill babies and children, who pay suicide bombers to murder innocent people, who rape, mutilate and murder women for showing their hair or dancing or just trying to exist as equal human beings.

Watching so many of the Left, the supposed peace loving, champions of the oppressed, chanting for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, spreading disgusting lies about how a minority group is going to "eat your babies and drink your blood".

The ones who go on about noble revolution but ignore or outright vilify an oppressed people fighting for their freedom.

The ones who cry "Oh but the children!!!", then laugh and celebrate when children of a minority group are murdered.

The same people who cry "Guns are bad!!!" but then laugh and celebrate when someone they don't like is murdered.

Do you hear yourselves? Just as bad as the people you claim to oppose. Bunch of blood thirsty, hypocritical vultures.

How can you claim to care about human life, then celebrate death.

Ali Karami was a 26 year old auto repair mechanic who was killed by the Islamic regime during the protests/revolution in Iran on January 8.

this is what he requested before his death:

“If I die before my dog, let her see my lifeless body. She understands death, she can mourn me. But if she doesn’t see me, she’ll think I abandoned her.”

After nearly a month of being cut off, you finally reach the global internet. You speak about the terror you survived—just a fraction of it. And the response you get is being called a “Zionist.”

Go ahead—tell the families of those 36,000 dead to “not be sad.” Tell the people who were blinded to suddenly “see the light of truth.” Tell everyone to stay home and shut up because the Islamic Republic claims it supports Gaza.

You have absolutely no idea what this regime has done. No understanding of the destruction it has brought to Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Palestine.

Ninety million people in this country are living in pain and suffering every single day.
