I've given up on Reddit as a place of discussion for serious dev stuff. I've seen some of the most unsavory and stupid takes there.

Hope the tea was nice! ❤️

1. Islamic Republic of Iran officials are forcing Iranians to give false testimony against Baha’i people.

The Baha’i, a religious minority in Iran, have long faced persecution at the hands of the regime.

In 1991, Ayatollah Khamenei signed a confidential memo known as “The Baha’i Question.”

Remember, propaganda always comes before damage assessment, rebuilding infrastructure and taking care of those who lost their homes.

Four people stand together in front of a beige brick wall. From left to right: Hassan Ronaghi, wearing a light blue shirt, gently rests his hand on the shoulder of his mother, who is dressed in a black headscarf and dark clothing; next to her is Hossein Ronaghi, with a shaved head and mustache, wearing a navy blue T-shirt; on the far right is their father, an older man with a white beard and short white hair, dressed in a white shirt. The family stands close together, appearing somber but united.

Iranian freedom fighters Hossein and Hassan Ronaghi have been kidnapped and are being held by the Islamic regime as it cracks down.

Hassan was kidnapped last week, and Hossein was kidnapped yesterday.

The health of their parents, who have already been through years of hell, is suffering greatly.

here we go again

Islamic Republic’s news channels have made an AI-generated before-and-after video of Tel Aviv being destroyed. Some non-Iranian “special” individuals are taking that as news and sharing it.

What a shit show the world has become.

This is a prison where most of the people detained during the protests are held. It’s by all means a political prison. Holding political prisoners in times of war and in such poor conditions should be a crime.

"There are so many mandetory draft soldiers serving. They have to serve as part of the draft. They had no choice. One of them is my own friend who is serving in Tehran whose barracks was already hit." 3/3 #Iran

"Those who have transportation are not allowed to pump more than 15 liters. It's hard to evacuate Tehran in a practical sense. Also, I saw yesterday that an Israeli spokesperson said they'll hit military & security sites. Anyone who is there & affiliated should leave." 2/3

Speaking to a family member in #Iran:

"They tell us to stay away from sensitive areas, but people don't even know where sensitive areas are, so they can keep away. The country was not ready for war. There are shortages. Many people don't have vehicles to leave Tehran." 1/3

War is never something to be cheered for.

Trump’s “everyone should evacuate Tehran immediately” line is a sadistic version of narcissistic supply - wanting drama, and specifically, drama in which others suffer mentally or physically.

‘This War Is Not Helping Us’ Members of Iran’s opposition want change, and fear for their lives.

Iranian oppositionists are angry at their regime. "But they in no way welcomed the Israeli strikes on their country. They worried about their own safety—and also about societal collapse and the destruction of Iran’s infrastructure," @arash_tehran writes:

Sometimes the way Americans see everything from their own tainted glass and go so far in self loathing to use such a slippery slope argument for defending something they do not understand at all, bewilderes me. When will they learn that the world doesn't revolve around them and their insecurities?

Even while the Israeli military is bombing, the Islamic Republic of Iran has the time and energy to terrorize Iranians.

Here, intelligence officers dressed in plainclothes terrorize the family of one of the Iranians killed during the Women, Life, Freedom uprisings.

Historically, national humiliations like this one, WW 2 and 1 occupation and famine and the Russo-Iranian wars have always left a deep scar on generations of Iranians. Out of those humiliations competing factions with different ideologies came out that saw each other as traitors and enemies.

See, west bad, hence Russia good. Simple as that. No need to use your brain :)

There's something quite funny with equating PressTV and BBC and defending the institution that proudly presents itself as the information war frontline of the regime. Not to mention its direct involvement in forced confessions and the torture of political dissent.

These unjust deaths would not be forgotten. We don't forget our loved ones who are wrongfully killed, no matter who does the killing.

Everyone deserves life. But you can’t work at the sewage facility and expect your clothes won’t smell.

I'm not happy about what is happening at all. Don't get me wrong. This is devastating. We're at war and I wouldn't be the one siding with Israel of all countries in a million years. But that doesn't mean if you hate Israel, Islamic Republic is suddenly a saint. People need to make distinctions.

As if I get to decide where blows up and where doesn't lol. Social media is rotting our brains. Comparing BBC and heck even Fox News to IRIB is insane. Let's see which one you trust more, Fox News or PressTV.

Some people have funny reactions when you tell them some facts. They quickly want to drag it into an argument of what's right an what's not conveniently ignoring the experiences of the person who knows what they're talking about and going off in a slippery slope of whataboutism.

I'm neither an Israeli nor I have power to decide what is going to happen. I'm just an observer.

The same propaganda outlet that kept on broadcasting lies about shutting down Israeli F35s, supposed thousands of casualties in Haifa and Tel Aviv, kept pushing "we're victorious" propaganda and refused to inform people that district 3 was targeted by IDF is now burning. At least parts of it.

IRIB is nothing more than a propaganda outlet. There's no journalism or truth to be found there. I'm not the one to decide who deserves to die, I don't wish death for my worst enemy. But there's a price to pay for 50 years of broadcasting outright lies.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has released these casualty figures: 224 dead, 1,277 wounded.

Note the discrepancy between this death toll and the numbers published by a prominent human rights organization.

Islamic Republic says 224 dead, the prominent human rights organization says 406.

*fate -_-.
I suck at typing it seems.
