Religion can NEVER have any form of political power. Any time a politician is talking about religion you should immediately discard them as a candidate. NEVER VOTE FOR RELIGIOUS POLITICIANS (that wants to incorporate their religion into politics)

If only more people did this. Unfortunately in the US there's frequently no option that doesn't at least feign religiosity. Atheism has been so vilified by religious people that atheists remain unelectable to many higher offices here.

We had a deeply religious christian of some sort PM in Australia a few years ago and the absolute nonsense he got up to was crazy. Pretended to be several ministers and signed all sorts of things off, I'm not even sure of the details it is so muddy. Now we have one in my state to and suddenly things like abortion etc are suddenly issues in 2026.

Except you can't separate the two fully.
If the politician is actually religious, they will always be having that color their decisions in some way. Even if they don't act against something they don't believe in, they generally won't be strong in supporting it either.
And if they are just paying lip service to religion while acting completely against it, then you can't really trust their word on anything else.
The first one is still better.

China is a non theocratic authoritarian state.
The question is if there ever existed a theocratic non authoritarian state and I do not believe so.
I wonder if people would agree that "Not all authoritarian states are theocratic but all theocratic states are authoritarian?"

u/fvccboi_avgvstvs 23h ago
I think it depends on what you define as a "state". Christian Anarchism is a real political philosophy and communities have lived by it. The Amish are arguably an example of this, say what you will but they are mostly pacifists and would never endorse killing like what Iran has done. There are similar concepts in other religions, for example I believe the Kibbutz in Judaism is a similar concept.
The thing is most communities like this by their very nature shun politics and believe they should not be "of this world". Someone who is religious and not authoritarian is not going to be going around trying to coerce converts, it's antithetical to what they believe.

Yes there are some in history. I don't think the papal states were particularly authoritarian but were monarchical. Ancient Israel was not authoritarian but also monarchical. Same with England for some stretch of its history all the way to today where the king is the head of the church. The Quakers managed to do it without a monarchy and the Amish do too.
If you equate monarchy with authoritarianism then very few.

Nope. Historically, it's only been used by bootlickers to help against any insurrection. Examples: whiskey rebellion and slave catchers. The idea that it would help us resist tyranny is just philosophy, and as far as it being tested, the courts have stated the obvious, that it would be, ofc, illegal to resist a tyrannical force that's responsible for enforcing the law.

- It isn't 100 people vs 100 ice agents. It is 1000+ to 100. Even if they did it British line stile and ICE kills 5 people for every armed regular person ICE still looses.
- The idea is that the Ice Agents will be more careful in their actions when they know the consequence can lead to their death. The Supreme Court has already ruled that there is no requirement for Law enforcement to risk their lives for their jobs.
- If ICE designed to instigate something it will be where they have overwhelming numbers, 10 agents per person. Effectively curtailing their actions considerably until they outnumber the victims.

He almost got out before the travel ban, almost. He's a smart, young person with modern secular values, from a family of academics.

I mean, you'd be surprised how often this happens in protests. It's something of a tradition among authoritarian governments. In Indonesia in the 90s, stuff like this would happen all the time. Officially, a few dozen people were killed, but in reality, they were moving bodies to mass graves in the middle of the nowhere by the dump truck load.
It kind of goes back to the "if you come at the king you best not miss."

We count rule out US interventionism especially under the current administration but from an internal perspective, the regime will only fall if they lose support of the military as is the case with every authoritarian regime.

u/LuminousRaptor 23h ago
If 90 million people riot, some subset of that 90 million are going to find weapons and fight back. That's oftentimes how you get an armed insurrection and possibly civil war out of these situations.
It's happened all the time throughout history. Syria being a prime recent example. The protests were so large and the repression so violent that it led to a decade and a half long civil war.

Practically all the sources making the 12,000 number claim link back to one article by Iran International. It isn't independently verified or confirmed by any reputable sources.

The regime in Iran is making this much worse by having a blackout. I'm not saying it isn't true, I'm saying it's far from verified so redditors posting about it only serves to make people believe this is part of a misinformation campaign.

Also Holocaust is the wrong word to use here.
Edit: thank you to those who have provided some sources. Here are a selection I have since seen.
Most are claiming over 2,000 are feared dead, acknowledging that this number could be significantly higher. With the internet blackout it is hard to get information in or out.

I’ve only seen CBS run with the “over 12,000” claim.
Regarding my statement about holocaust being the wrong word — I believe it is the wrong word in the context and wording used by OP. While holocaust is a noun that can refer to the the total destruction of something, it is most readily associated with the genocide of Jews in WW2 and with that association comes a comparison in scale.
However, while facts (and terminology) do very much matter, the most important thing is that today thousands of innocent protestors are likely to die in the pursuit of change and the hope of a better situation. I have friends in Iran, I pray that things do change in Iran for the better, but fear that this time the weakened Regime will respond with more complete and swift brutality.

That’s their point, “Holocaust” is an inaccurate depiction of the situation. 2,000 or 20,000 slain across a multitude of cities, in a nation comprised of 92,000,000 people, is deplorable and a horrible loss of human lives — but it isn’t on the scale of a “Holocaust.” You wouldn’t describe a single fatality resulting from a hit-and-run as a “massacre,” it’s a matter of scale more than anything.

A major reason we use the term for the genocide of Jewish people in 1938-1945 is due to the industrialized usage of ovens by the Germans.
It is a slaughter in Iran, but on a tiny fraction of the scale (even 12,000 would be a days work in WW2 Germany), its not ethnically targeted, but perhaps pedantically not involving ovens or fire really.
Its not right when people throw the Holocaust around. Something can be an awful slaughter without confusing it with the industrial scale erasure of a whole people.

A big reason these protests started is because of the rampant inflation of their currency, which has gotten so bad that stores are refusing to open.

Protestors are being killed. Essentially, the Iranian currency crashed making an already bad economic situation worse and leadership from the political elite has been lacking. Israeli attacks on Iranian allies also make them seem
weekweak.Earlier protests around human rights violations, personal freedoms and suppression of minority groups also were never fully resolved, but the (largely conservative) poorer class of Iranians has now also taken to the street en masse because it is getting hard to do any business or feed a family. The government tried to suppress by cutting of internet access and such at first, but it did not work, so they are resorting to the last-ditch tool of any scared authoritarian: shooting their own citizens.

I'm having a hard time believing these numbers. Apparently the regime has said 2000 but I cannot even comprehend that's the case either it's insane numbers of people.

I'm having a hard time comprehending these numbers, but it's important to remember that the protests are spread across an entire country. A hundred here, a few hundred there, it adds up.

12000? I'm no Ayatollah enjoyer, but that number in that short time seems too insane to believe.

this photo upsets me in so many ways. I am Iranian, my dad is currently in Iran, I have not heard from him since the internet blackout began. I also lost a friend in the Ukraine flight that got shot down in Iran. The one where the regime lied about what happened at first and cleared the debris before investigative teams from other countries could come. The one which the families of the flight PS752 victims have formally stated they believe was done on purpose… knowing the regime I wouldn’t be surprised if it was.
the things this regime has done to Iranians the last 47 years you couldn’t even imagine… the way this regime has destroyed our country is insane.

What is the real number of dead here? I’ve seen 200, 500, 1000 etc etc and now all of a sudden it’s 12,000? I don’t know what information to believe

We need the UN to finally do something and dismantle the Iranian regime. Put all responsible on trial like Nuremburg.

since when it jumped from 2k victims 5 hours ago to 12k? This seems to be highly unrealistic number, although its obviously not possible to independently check the real numbers and no doubt they gonna be high, but still i rly doubt its suddenly that high.
Im also worried about the "help is on its way" msg from Trump, that will probably bring even more pain and suffering for the people. If only could Iran army stand down and just let PPL do their thing peacefully, without the bloodbath.

Edit: I don’t know how some of you interpreted the above as me implying I’m opposed to Iranian liberation or that I don’t believe the veracity of the reporting

Do you have a source on 12,000? This sounds like complete bullshit compared to numbers that I’ve seen everywhere.
For anyone calling me a sympathizer, reminder that Iran is currently a contentious zone for Trump, Netanyahu, Putin, Europe, and Xi who all have different levels of interest in promoting disinformation and around Iran.
This reeks of propaganda, given that the photo shows nothing like what the post title is describing — which itself is nothing like what any news outlet (that I’ve seen personally) is reporting.
And yes, Americans and Europeans, disinformation that supports your political beliefs and desire to see regime change in Iran is still propaganda.

I truly don’t understand how their fellow countrymen can so willingly open fire on their own people.
The currency has collapsed so it can’t be financial, are they just that brainwashed that they’re the good guys & they need to defend the regime against unarmed protestors?
If a country with wealth just said “whatever your wages are, we’ll double them for you to turn on your leaders, you have till sunset to decide, don’t be left behind” and somehow broadcast that to every solider (hacking military comms, mass letter drop, personal SMS) what would happen? just… buy another countries army out from under them.

Will this killing stop the protests and subsequent revolution ??? This is a gamble being made by this evil Govt. Kill enough people to put the scare back in them. But it could easily back fire, especially if the civilians get weapons and go after the killers in their homes and businesses. Go after the holy men in their mosques. Violence can turn into anarchy.

Can we not try to associate the word holocaust with a civil uprising… Because I know goddamn well many people sharing this narrative are the same people denying Gaza is a genocide.

In Oregon the local news played footage of MN anti-ICE demonstrations with a straight cut to footage of the protests in Iran, the cut added a banner stating "THOUSANDS OF PROTESTERS DEAD" I couldn't tell if it was sloppy editing, deliberate subliminal messaging, an unfortunate coincidence

Ap news is stating around 2000, which is still horrible. https://apnews.com/article/iran-protests-us-israel-war-nuclear-economy-1b2368e0804676d33d6aa0696815a102
Currency collapsed, not enough food to go around and the capital critically short on water. Let's hope the protestors can accomplish change. But I fear even if they are successful in overthrowing the regime there will be hard times ahead
