Iranians form human chains at power plants

Well we didn’t exactly see how the power vacuum was wrapped up so I’m not sure we can guarantee that.

didn't they end up continuing the cycle of violence and inequality but with the roles reversed or am I misremembering

I think that's highly debatable (I'm being serious). Maybe in the way the book was written it all worked out, maybe if everything went exactly the way Coin wanted and everyone hated Snow as much as they "should" people would accept the truth if it got out... But honestly, even if you replace a brutal regime, but do it through a false flag, if that info *ever* gets out you have a revolution on your already weak hands. And while Snow definitely was a piece of shit, deposing him and destabilizing such a weird economy and production system could be a lot more disastrous than just letting the status quo and high control society continue. (Obviously, just letting authoritarians continue to rule forever isn't a solution either, I'm just saying the false flag child murder double tap bombing followed by a sham trial and public execution [especially if katniss didn't shoot coin as well] is definitely *debatable* as "being for the greater good of the country itself") (I only watched the movies, maybe the books handle it differently)

*holds gun to head* "Form a human chain. Now." *looks at the camera* "See? They want this."

I’ll give you my two cents. Maybe not 95%, but a vast VAST majority of us hate the regime. If I were to estimate based on my own lived experience - maybe 85%+. The only people who support the regime are the ones affiliated with it, or the ones who are fundamentalist religious. People inside Iran have the sentiment that bombs are scary, but regime is scarier. The only people that feel that islamic republic has legitimacy are the same ones that gave them legitimacy prior to the war, which unfortunately has been a lot of global institutions that’s led to disenfranchising a lot of us Iranian diaspora. There’s also the issue of the vast decades long propaganda machine by the islamic republic that’s infiltrated into the leftist and more progressive zeitgeist. I’ve always considered myself a leftist, but when the January massacre happened in Iran, all of the institutions that I considered were close to my political beliefs were suddenly denying that it happened, or criticising me for bringing attention to it. Similarly, after the war started I saw a lot of progressive movements carry khamenei’s posters and the islamic republic flag. The propaganda machine has conflated being anti right wing with being anti western and similarly sane washed their own brutality which has worked unfortunately very well. Trump is vile. There’s no denying that, but he’s always been a narcissistic liar who tries to portray himself as what he perceives to be a strongman. Which is why it’s so frustrating that people who constantly recognise his bullshitting are now taking his tweet and statement as the gospel truth. He was also saying that negotiations were going well whilst the IRGC leadership were being taken out. What he says on twitter is not necessarily reflected in real life, and none of us as individuals civilians are privy to the actual military tactics happening in the pentagon. Trump is a moron and a despicable person. islamic republic are evil incarnate. Both are true statements.

36% of the US was favourable of Trump just 2 weeks ago, so even more than 20-30%

You can absolutely hate the regime **and** trump. I don’t believe they suddenly think “eh, last week they executed my friends for protesting peacefully, but I’ll support them now because of Trump”

They can when they perform the largest massacres of the 21st century to stay in power.

The opposition within iran is practically 90% of the people there. And that's putting it on the lower end of the estimate. They've not been beaten into submission. If you kill the child of two parents, and then try to sell them the body for years worth of salary, you don't beat them into submission. You create enemies that are willing to die to get rid of you.

I think it's complicated, in recent years Israelis did a honestly disgusting crimes against humanity, and Trump really pissed off a lot of people around the globe. People are kind of cheering for anyone who opposes, even if those who oppose aren't better than that. At least that's what I think.

It's Listnook. IRGC bots are hard at work and Listnook gobbles it all up. Nothing new, really.

Not how it works.  This will just cause non permanent faults that will make the breakers trip and shut everything down.  It will take a little while for them to clean it off and be able to re-energize stuff without it tripping again but nothing will be permanently damaged and they can turn it back on within a few weeks without replacing anything. The only caveat to this is their protection schemes work to quickly trip the breakers but with as many dust storms they have they more than likely have that dialed in.  Biggest risk is the nuclear power plant shutting down safely but even that should be fine and I wouldn't be surprised if Russia already idled it and inserted the control rods to shut it down before they pulled their people out last week.  

Better than people going boom

You definitely don't need to replace everything. Most of a nuclear power plant is steam and cooling equipment. Its going to ruin their day but its not that bad

If the alternative is directly bombing the plant, resulting in the same power outage but also direct kills from the explosion, then no it’s still a better alternative. Not good, none of this is good.

I think thats why they said "not the human suffering"

and water pump stations, etc

Hope he's got a generator.

I thought cold restarts of a power grid take longer than that to achieve.

How? Its strings of graphite

Lisa needs braces!

its a huge LAN party

Its gotten very bad on Listnook. I kind of wonder if most of these people even care to understand what this shit really is.

Spider man pointing meme

yeah that sums it up pretty damn well

This. Mullahs have just much of a liking for little children as Pedophilius the Orange.

Listnook has been begging Iran to release Epstein files and call Trump a pedo, while forgetting pedofilia is a common everyday thing there and they even worship a person who married a 6 year old, or 9 year old, age doesn't matter at that point.

Google "Big Lie"

5k makes the most sense in my opinion, but that's not evil enough so let's just Ten times it (i guess?)
