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.
