For the uninitiated: Western propaganda about Iranian women all forcibly wearing headscarves is exaggerated into oblivion.

It is so blatantly fake that it’s debunked by a few seconds on Youtube:

Go to any random point in this video, which after the intro is one continuous long shot: https://youtu.be/HpCMThYr8WU?t=212

Or any other video on this channel. Or search the words “Iran walk” on youtube and go to some other channel and you can see a woman without headscarf every 20 seconds in busy areas.

    Halfway their billion word article they mention the word sanctions. Nobody cares. The only one doesn’t care about the Iranian people is you . You just want to do whataboutism spam of imperialist fake leftist articles to whitewash coming crimes against Iranians in posts which have nothing to do with them.

      Ah, yes. I don’t care about the Iranian people because… Instead of focussing on how much iranian women are allowed not to wear headscarves, I’m rather focussing on how the iranian people suffer under austerity in a plutocratic system which is also under pressure from the imperialist hegemon and it’s vasals. And since the article I posted isn’t entirely made up of the words “Amerikkka” and “sanctions”, but rather goes into detail in how the current protests came about, how the poorer classes suffer under the current system and how international powers try to coopt the movement by trying to astroturf the return of the Schah.

      But now, I’ve seen the errors of my ways! All Iranians are A-OK, because women in Teheran are allowed not to wear scarves in youtube videos! Nothing to see in Iran. Amerikka is the big devil! Long live the Ayatollah!
