Good morning The Western media is ignoring the Iranian uprising because explaining it would force an admission it is desperate to avoid: the Iranian people are rebelling against Islam itself, and that fact shatters the moral framework through which these institutions understand the world. Ideally, to cover an uprising is not just to show crowds and slogans. It requires answering a basic question: why are people risking death? In Iran, the answer is simple and unavoidable. The people are rising up because the Islamic Republic of Iran has spent decades suffocating every aspect of life—speech, work, family, art, women, and economic survival—under a clerical system that treats liberty as a crime. There is no way to tell that story without confronting the nature of the regime. Western media refuses to do so because it has fundamentally misunderstood Islam. Or worse, it has chosen not to understand it. Islam, in Western progressive discourse, has been racialized. It is treated not as a belief system or a political ideology, but as a stand-in for race or ethnicity. Criticizing Islam is framed as an attack on “brown people,” Arabs, or “the Middle East,” as if Islam were a skin color rather than a doctrine. This confusion is rooted in historical illiteracy. Western liberal media routinely collapses entire civilizations into a single stereotype: “all Middle Easterners are Arabs,” “all Arabs are Muslim,” and “all Muslims are a monolithic, oppressed identity group by white European colonizers.” Iranians disappear entirely in this framework. Their language, history, and culture—Persian, not Arab; ancient, not colonial; distinct, not interchangeable—are erased. By treating Islam as a racial identity rather than an ideology, Western media strips millions of people of their ability to reject it. Iranian protesters become unintelligible. Their rebellion cannot be processed without breaking the rule that Islam must not be criticized. So instead of listening to Iranians, the media speaks over them—or ignores them entirely. There is another reason the Iranian uprising is so threatening to Western media is economic issues. As you know, Iran is not only a religious dictatorship. It is a centrally controlled, state-dominated economy where markets are strangled, private enterprise is criminalized or co-opted, and economic survival depends on proximity to political power. Decades of price controls, subsidies, nationalization, and bureaucratic micromanagement have obliterated the middle class and entrenched corruption as the only functional system. The result is not equality or justice. It is poverty, stagnation, and dependence on government’s dark void of empty promises. Covering Iran honestly would require acknowledging that these policies are harmful. They have been tried. They have failed. Catastrophically. This is deeply inconvenient for Western media institutions that routinely promote expansive state control, centralized economic planning, and technocratic governance as morally enlightened alternatives to liberal capitalism. Iran demonstrates where such systems lead when insulated from accountability and enforced by ideology. It shows that when the state controls livelihoods, non-conformity becomes existentially dangerous. That lesson cannot be acknowledged without undermining the moral authority of those who advocate similar ideas in softer language. Western liberal media prefers not to hear this. Acknowledging it would require abandoning the lazy moral categories that dominate modern discourse: oppressor and oppressed, colonizer and colonized, white and non-white. Iranian protesters do not fit. They show that authoritarianism is not a Western invention imposed from outside, but something many societies are actively trying to escape. That is what terrifies Western liberal media. And that is why the Iranian people are being ignored. So the silence continues. —Tahmineneh Dehbozorgi #iran #freedom #islam

It may take a year or more before my daughter speaks to me... That's what a counselor tells me anyway.

Always interesting hearing other perspectives without people shouting down each other... Women black conservatives and liberals having a conversation. Enjoy... Btw, bitcoin helps black people too. #DecentralizeEverything #bitcoin #btc

This is pretty good. The lady in the video might have the winning statement... "this women who's clearly passionate about fighting for what she believed in, I'm not sure she was willing to die for, but was unfortunately put herself in a position to do that....and that is really really sad. This sucks all the way around"

This was thought provoking.. Not my post but copied from Facebook. Let’s start where adults start: a woman is dead. That’s not a meme, it’s not a dunk, it’s not “content.” It’s a human life—gone. And that’s a tragedy, period. But if we’re going to be honest—if we’re going to deal in reality instead of slogans—then we also have to say what too many people are tiptoeing around: This didn’t happen in a vacuum. This is what happens when you take a human being and marinate them in apocalyptic political propaganda until they can’t tell the difference between a disagreement and a war. When you convince people that ICE agents are basically the Gestapo… When you tell them the country is a Nazi regime… When you sell them the idea that detention facilities are “concentration camps”… Then don’t act shocked when someone decides, “Well, if that’s true, then normal rules don’t apply. I’m justified to do whatever it takes.” Because if a person genuinely believes that—if they truly believe brown people are being rounded up and shipped off to camps—then yeah, that would feel like an emergency. That would create panic. That would make them feel heroic for jumping in front of cars and trying to shut things down. That’s what hysteria does. It hijacks your judgment and hands you a cape. And the sickest part is: that kind of narrative didn’t just come from some random internet crank. It got boosted and normalized. It got repeated so many times—on TV, on social media, by activists, by politicians, by people who should know better—that eventually fiction starts to feel like fact. So no, I’m not surprised she thought she was “standing up to evil.” I’m not surprised she believed she was doing the right thing. But here’s the part ideology will never tell you: believing something hard enough doesn’t make it true—and it doesn’t make it safe. Now she’s dead. And for what? No grand victory happened. No magical prison doors opened. No “camp” got shut down. No hardened criminal became a better person because someone played vigilante in the street. What did happen is real life—brutal life: Children without a mother. A family wrecked. A community shaken. And the same people who pour gasoline on the public mind are going to do what they always do—move on, deny responsibility, and crank the volume even higher. Because they won’t learn from it. They never do. They won’t dial back the rhetoric. They won’t admit that calling everyone Nazis and calling everything genocide is reckless. They won’t acknowledge that when you tell normal people “this is 1933,” you are practically begging for someone to start acting like it. So here’s the takeaway, and it’s not complicated: You can debate immigration policy without lying. You can protest without encouraging lawlessness. You can hate an administration without turning your neighbors into monsters. But if you keep feeding people end-times propaganda and praising vigilantism as virtue, you’re going to keep getting tragedies like this—until the next person believes the fantasy so completely that reality kills them for it. That’s not activism.
