The Struggle in Iran is Real

[ Caution: Extremely Difficult to Watch ]

I post this for one reason–to show how real this revolution in Iran is. Millions of people are saying they’re willing to die for a more free government, and too many of us in this country are going about our lives as if it were not even happening.

Watch. See. Feel.

As I’ve tweeted about a couple of times, I’ve put up a tor server to hopefully help those in Iran get news out. It’s very little, but it’s something. ::

    excellent.

    Now if we can get our government to acknowledge that people want our help, we can stop riding the fence. Our encouragement, our solidarity with the revolutionaries, if anything at all.

    Remember, we're the Great Satan, either way.

    I , and all America, have been an enemy of the Ayatolla's since I was in first grade. The less he has a stranglehold on their country, the better the world is.

    It's too late to hope for a bloodless democracy. By abstaining, we default in siding with those in power, despite the will of the Iranian people. In inaction, we abandon the future of a progressive government we are already natural allies with.

    We could say, nothing ventured, nothing gained, but it doesn't apply. In this, if nothing is ventured, we simply lose.
