Netblocks: Update: #Iran has now been offline for 96 hours, limiting reporting and accountability over civilian deaths as Iranians protest and demand change; fixed-line internet, mobile data and calls

If only there were a mesh network of satellites allowing remote internet-disconnected areas to access the web which WASN'T run by the egomaniacal fucktoy of a despotic psychopath...

If the US wanted to do a funny without directly killing anyone, they would use a B2 spirit to carpet bomb Iran with solar powered meshtastic nodes

SpaceX has opened up access for Iranians (source). What are you complaining about exactly?

I read somewhere (don't have at hand the source) that Spacelink is being actively jammed

And it was apparently promptly mostly scrambled by the regime which also managed to confiscate a lot of the antennas.

Hope he is ok. Also have relatives there and it fucking sucks not knowing if they're ok.

It's apparently a beautiful place to visit with great people. But it's probably a little premature.

While Snowflake is a pretty cool and worthwhile extension to run, I don't think having a proxied connection to Tor will help Iranians if they just don't have an Internet connection at all.

Indeed. Connections to my Tor bridge dropped by 80% when Iran disconnected.

Good move. The violence were caused by external US/Mossad influencers/agents, and they rely on the internet to disperse their garbage propaganda.

Dessalines bans you if you don't conform to a very narrow set of beliefs. Dissent is not allowed.

I can ask the Iranian side of my family to explain exactly how full of shit you are. Wouldn't be for constructive reasons; I doubt you can be taught anything. But it sure would be entertaining.

A lot of communists here are like Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Their existing living condition is shit and they think that going to a different place will magically fix all their problems because everything just has to be better there.

Sure, but what does this have to do with the riots in Iran?

2

It doesn't. I'm commenting more on supporters like you've read online saying the current government is great.

There are plenty of Iranians who worship Netanyahu, especially Pahlavi.

There are plenty of Americans who worship Trump... In a literal sense... And are perfectly fine with ICE indiscriminately shooting people.

Are you trying to make a point?

1

Yes. The Zionist media assumes that these Iranians speak for everyone.

Bullshit. They sure as hell will make the most of the situation though.

I've recently assembled in my head one story, that went on for 13 years, that is, roughly speaking, connected to antisemitism (also cowardice).

I won't go into details, but honestly Mossad and the state of Israel have a reason of existence bigger than my mood swings and feelings on the scale of this decade or that, and I can understand the ethical logic that, if there's going to be plenty of bloodshed anyway, then rather it'd be their way.

I might have said very rough things about the state of Israel many times, but with all its crimes its existence means that some Jewish people don't have to live at someone's mercy saying "thank you daddy" every day. I'd drink to that if it weren't work time.

see people revolting against their government

see it's happening in a place opposed to the US

Can't let the people have their own say, they're infants who have to be controlled to take their country back to what it was before the US meddled

There's no point explaining this to NPCs who dont have object permanence and can't see the decade + long regime change that Netanyahu has been engineering:

  • making Trump pullout of JCPOA,
  • Max pressure campaign,
  • killing Soleimani,
  • murdering nuclear scientists,
  • sabotaging industries and
  • going to war against Iran's shia allies in the region.
  • faking negotiations while planning a sneak attack in June.

Not to mention the constellation of anti government Iranian propaganda outlets in the West, funded by Mossad and Western intelligence, braying for regime change.

These NPC think the protests organically happened, by sheer coincidence just days after Netanyahu met with Trump in Mar a Lago, the fifth time in a year, to set a timeframe for attacking Iran.

Even Israeli media is up front about the nature of these protests.
