her dad was a famous comedian , he called Islam which is a state religion in Iran a religion of murder , in response an arrest warrant was issued for his arrest , play stupid games , win stupid prizes . Iran is a democracy but insulting the stat religion is illegal

[@williamjansen1]

"...he called Islam which is a state religion in Iran a religion of murder." And then the Iranian state went ahead and proved him right.

[@PurushaDesa]

@@sinabagherisarvestani8924 You can't kill people simply for causing offence. Hell, outside war or self defence you shouldn't really be killing anyone. It speaks to a very deep insecurity or paranoia around the veracity of an ideology if any critique has to be met with violence.

Back in time the Kings Jester was one of the few who could use comedy and irony to make a lord and privy council to see things from a different angle, that most people wouldn’t dare say out loud. She has doubtless made her father proud.

[@AE1P]

I didn't know that she had started going by her full name (had to do a bit of googling to find out she made the switch last year). Good for her. And it's an additional layer of nuance to this emotionally raw monologue.

monotheism, zealotry, and the nation-state... individually dangerous, in combination? deadly. The Iranians, particularly the women of Iran, have tried a few times to lift themselves out from under oppressive regimes. This time, I hope it works.

[@Ti-up3dv]

Oh yes, monotheism is terrible. I prefer societies where they sacrifice innocents to the sun god. Or even better, ones where they decide there's nothing other than matter so we can make our own rules and people in power just murder anyone who might oppose them by the 10s of millions. That evil, evil monotheism. It's the explanation for all the evil humans have ever committed! Before monotheism, all humanity lived in peace and harmony. Come, comrades, let's get rid of it. We will be so much better off!

[@ninacee9140]

Iran never stood a chance at freedom with how much we meddled into their country. The US and UK exiled Reza Shah in the early 1900s from his own country because he tried to nationalize their own oil. The UK and US then removed the democrat prime minister Mossadegh from Iran in the 1950s because he tried to nationalize their own oil. They helped the shah's son stay in power while he was under the threat of facing the same fate as other leaders. But in his last 6 or so years in power he too began to become independent and hostile towards the US and UK who held his country hostage and began to speak of nationalizing their oil. Iran then burst into socialist and communist uprisings that suddenly got hijacked into an islamist révolution. In 2016 the BBC's investigation into declassified CIA records showed that Khomeini and the mullahs were put into power by the US to destabilize Iran and mitigate soviet influence.

[@TheJessierb]

fantastically funny and heartbreaking. A real tour de force.

[@MeiLee-t2v]

[@markadams738]

Iran is a very complex country. Under the Shah they went fast forward into the 20th century. In Iran today it's the year 1380 ( quirk of calendars) but I hope that soon Iran will become what it always was a welcoming country full of wonderful people.

[@lavrentivs9891]

They were already 50 years into the 20th century when the democratic government were overthrown by a UK and USA sponsored coup d'etat that placed the Shah in power.

[@leybenson]

[@dmisso42]

[@lgwappo]

I know a woman from Iran. She escaped & came to America, learned about Jesus & became a Christian. Very active in her church. She told us about growing up in Iran. They lived in fear of their government & couldn't speak a word of it. I understand replacing the Shah but the Ayatollah was worse & people are powerless to get a representative government.

[@lavrentivs9891]

Think how much better it would have been if the USA and UK hadn't overthrown the democratic government and installed the Shah in the first place (operation Ajax).

It is a sad reality to the millions of oppressed citizens of Iran that they have no say in their government nor their fate. Unfortunately until the Revolutionary Guard (the Iranian equivalent of the SS) continues to support the regime and vice-versa there won't be any internal change.
