If you know Iranians or the citizenry in Iran in general, you know they are as civilized as it gets. Polite, educated, intelligent and calm in general.
It took 50 years of extreme authoritarianism, hundreds of thousands of state kidnappings, 200%+ inflation, living under obscene sanctions that did nothing but fuck over the people and enrich the ruling class all while watching the rest of the civilized world advance.
Just to prove how civilized these people are, the crime rate did not increase during all these times. You wouldn't see that in other places around the world.
It took all the above for them to finally begin to snap.
What's going on over there is a critical indicator of the ledge the rest of the world is hurling to.
If those people can set aflame police in the streets and mob stomp state goons it's a major tell.
Most parts of the west don't have that type of patience and we haven't faced a single digit % of what they've gone through.
We are truly in unbelievable times.
I had the pleasure of loving an Iranian woman due to the circumstances of covid. Her family is in Turkey right now, as they were fleeing Iran around when covid started. They are absolutely strong people. They are very kind, honest, and resilient. Her father is currently in ICU and they are in need of prayer right now, as he is barely hanging on and in the unrest in Iran. Please keep these wonderful people in your hearts and prayers.
Heavenly Father, please be with these people and heal their father, if it be Your will. Keep them safe through the Storm. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
The struggles of a good people are always the worst. God bless em.
