This is what Iran looked like in the 1970s, before the Islamic Regime:
this is what iranians looked like before revolution.
Well, yes. Before all Jews and other minorities were expelled.
expelled? that would be news to the tens of thousands living in iran and their representatives in the Majles.
I am sorry that you think people were expelled. a lot of them ran but I am sure no one was expelled. and you imagine they were expelled to where?
This one hits a little harder
*Before the U.S assassinated their democratic secular leader who didn’t want foreign companies owning all their resources so the people in their own country weren’t dirt poor like Africa.
I believe you’re talking about the CIA backed coup in 1953.
This picture would have been taken during the period where Iran was ruled by the Western puppet Shah.
But the point still stands, tough to imagine the Iranian Revolution of 1979 if there had never been a Western coup and over 25 years of effectively Western rule.
Yes I didn’t clarify that but I know the history a decent bit. They installed an internationalist far right government and the Iranians overthrew that government, leading to the modern state.
And the “modern” state is a highly progressive (not) “guided republic” led by mostly illiterate mullahs who aspire to force Iran back to medieval despotism. It’s rule by religious conservatives, not a contrast to far-right government-- the only difference is the internationalist part.
In some ways I understand. If they did anything less they would be denationalized and since Persians aren’t considered white really they would get a way worse deal. The vast majority of the people would be homeless and starving while armed propagandized guards protected international companies exporting every valuable resource out of the country. The unfortunate part about Iran is the religious stuff. Religions are terrible. They ruin the happiness of most of the population.
And after the UK/US overthrew their democratically elected regime to install an autocrat.
Maybe if the west would stop meddling in the middle east things wouldn’t be so fucked up.

It’s safe, the ankles are out of frame.
Corrupted by the West and its hegemony.
Persia has historically always been a leader in academics, cultural exchange, arts, literature, engagement, civil rights, and philosophy, dating back to at least Zoroaster. It is only in recent decades that the regime has instead favored ignorance and isolation. The present state of Iran is the historical outlier, not vice-versa.
Im sure that had nothing to do with the Shah’s oppression and corruption to big oil while shitting on golden toilets.
Western policy certainly paved the way for the Islamic revolution, but encroaching Western decadence is not the reason why they’re censoring women’s legs at the moment.
I think you’re confusing a few things.
Was it the west that instigated a change, because they were greed for oil and didn’t give a fuck?
Yes.
But who actually took power? Conservative Muslims.
Fuck all monotheism.
The intolerance of narrow monotheism is written in letters of blood across the history of man from the time when first the tribes of Israel burst into the land of Canaan. The worshippers of the one jealous God are egged on to aggressive wars against people of alien [beliefs and cultures]. They invoke divine sanction for the cruelties inflicted on the conquered. The spirit of old Israel is inherited by Christianity and Islam, and it might not be unreasonable to suggest that it would have been better for Western civilization if Greece had moulded it on this question rather than Palestine
I think you spelled fuck all theism wrong. there aren’t any good religions.
I did not.
Polytheism can be a useful framework for lots of things without ruining society like monotheism.
Religion isn’t an issue. Dogmatic religion is. And all monotheist religions are dogmatic. Some polytheist ones are as well.
There’s loads of uses for religion which aren’t evil or bad for society

lol. lmao even.
Religion is a mental disorder.
Those arms are very… Distracting.
Gonna need those blurred.
Also the hair. And ears. And might as well blur the face. And the silhouette.
Why bother with the potato quality camera they’re using?
Now I’m curious.
Breaking: This is what they don’t want you to see!
Thanks, I feel like I’ve unlocked a fetish.
I just heard the steam unlocking sound.
It’s not as rare as I expected.
I feel like this over censorship has to be detrimental to their fight against impure thoughts…
Like 98% of guys would just see the woman’s legs find it unremarkable, and move on. But now that its censored, its marked as something to be lust worthy. Now everyone seeing the image is imagining the legs a having a sexual value worth obscuring.
It’s a job-creation program for junior mullahs who are skilled enough to be able to operate a Sharpie.
Something similar used to happen in Saudi Arabia. Young men from a highly observant backgound would sign up for the muttawa’a (the morality police) in order to get a chance to see some ankle, and possibly even to speak to a woman who’s not a blood relative (mainly to say “hide your shame!”).
N- no! I don’t have legs! I’m not some leg-having freak! My pants just hide my stilts, not legs haha. That’d be ridiculous!
I can’t let them know that I have legs I can’t let them know that I have legs Ican’tletthemknowIhavelegs
She’s got legs? What a complete strumpet!!!
I mean I don’t agree with it but they get to set their own standards on their own TV stations.
US TV censors person saying “fuck”.
