I hope you are right, but it was worrying that so many people were willing to help the revolutionary guard and other state security agencies by reporting those who opposed extreme application of laws based on religion.Other reports say that support is ebbing away through all stratas of society but people are too afraid of the Revolutionary Guard and it's surrogates in the secret services. Look what a few women coming together nearly achieved two years ago. The Theocrats were rocked to the core and had to use every means at their disposal, violent and repressive, to quell it. That, they managed, but they have not to my knowledge crushed it. These protesters will not be cowed.
Yes , they are the fanatics, the stooges and the snoops that keep these regimes alive just as in the Chinese Communist Party, but Iran isn't China and has at least some semblance of a functioning democracy. These things can turn very quickly especially with events such like this tragic as they are. Not saying they'll turn now but Iran could be reaching an inflexion point in the near futureI hope you are right, but it was worrying that so many people were willing to help the revolutionary guard and other state security agencies by reporting those who opposed extreme application of laws based on religion.
Have you ever been to China?Yes , they are the fanatics, the stooges and the snoops that keep these regimes alive just as in the Chinese Communist Party, but Iran isn't China and has at least some semblance of a functioning democracy.

Sorry. My bad.
YesHave you ever been to China?
Scottyboi want to send you to the reeducation camp, not me .And there were plenty of video reports about CCP snitches caught reporting people to the authorities during the COVID crisis.
Nothing whatsoever against Chinese people sir , do not conflate what I'm saying with some kind of anti-sino agenda. My wife happens to be half Chinese
No problem my friend, I have great admiration for the Chinese people and it's rich culture. I happen to have some reservations about the CCP and the lack of democracy.Scottyboi want to send you to the reeducation camp, not me .
It's OK.
If I say something ,people will call me ccp troll.
It's OK too.
Let the discussion back to Iran.
The Ayatollah is still the main man and alive.Iranian people are quite nationalistic, proud, even a little bit arrogance.
Even if the regime change happens, I think there will be very small possibility, if not zero, the new one will do whatever the US want them to do. And the US will call the new president of Iran a "dictator". Nothing will change.
