My post was not supposed to be that TikTok specifically is bad.

my point was every platform (that uses attention as money generator) would eventually be some kind of short videos which emulates pov of user (vertical interface instead of TV horizontal interface) that encourage “engagements”

every platform becomes TikTok at the end.

Time to fund /e/OS GraoheneOS

no.

those are just android with some modification. two years from now google can easily disrupt them too.

phones need a copyleft new OS. not a foss one, an actual copyleft one. with an independent group managing it.

an OS that a company can decide what app I can run on it is just a surveillance apparatus gadget.

google never wanted user to have control of their phone even 10 years ago.

the easiest way to check this is to see if you can stop an installed app to ever do stuff without you explicitly opening it. they are so many “triggers” that apps can register and run based on them that user cant do anything about them. “wifi connected” “wifi disconnected” and so on.

if an app can “listen” to these triggers and I cant disable it from listening to them (even for non-system apps) them I don’t really own my phone. then android is just a attention stealing spam machine at best and spying and terror gadget for world’s supremacist regimes too.

I think even apple iOS has that option (disabling backgournd refresh per app ) and in that regard is better than android. If I wasn’t against non-foss software and I didn’t live in Iran, at this point apple iOS is not that different fro google and is more polished too.

I never said it was talking out of his ass.

propaganda does not mean lies.

when BBC persian (media arm of government of England under command of foreign minister) says something about my country (Iran) it doesnt have to lie to spread propaganda.

you can see it in headlines.

when Iranian say some thing the source is before the info and it usually say something like: Iranians claim that “usa attacked them”

when jewish Isis kills Palestinians and then claim that they are khamas members, then BBC title will be : “hamas members killed in missle attacks , israel claims.”

you don’t have to lie to deceive people.

ah… the propaganda rage names themoscowtimes

I am not saying the government is a saint. I am saying a lot of this is propaganda.

I saw a “dissident” that got death penalty and its supporters would show a picture of her just sitting beside fire and saying she was just a “social worker” then later the original picture with her holding a rifle and pictures of her training with terrorist groups came out.

the ironic part is one of the woman u named “Pakhshan Azizi” was/is hailed as “Kurdish-Iranian human rights activist”. you can even just search her name but you have to do it in english and see a sea of website bemoaining a “human rights activist”. with these picture:

but if you search her name in persian “پخشان عزیزی” you get these pictures too:

she is a member of terrorist group “پژآک”

I don’t need to love my goverment to see when most of those who say “human rights in Iran” are funded by who.

if any one these people did one tenth of the stuff they did iran, in eu or uk or usa, they would not even get to a court. they would be gunned down.

I am against alot of dress code law or marriage laws in my country but the judiciary is in my opinion too soft on terrorist supporters in iran.

Another example: the right side is a post from “iran internatinal” that is a propaganda network that was funded by saudies but then bought out by jweish isis (israel). the left side is the original picture.

so for example in 2022 49% for murder. this is death penalty for murder. which most countries used to have (and many still do). and in Iran (and maybe other muslim countries) there is the ghasas, which is death penalty for murder that the family of victim that request. it is not for other killing, like if you kill someone in an accident (car accident).

44% for dug crimes. it means drug smuggler (not user) which unfortunately because of Iran neighboring Afghanistan (a major drug producer) there are a lot of them.

this pressure on Iran for because of “Muh human rights” for death penalty is mostly using this number to say Iranian government is killing dissidents, which in my opinion is mostly bullshit.

this pressure even made many ordinary Iranians mad because the drug destination is mostly for EU and many Iranian border guards and police die in clashes with drug smugglers. this anger was to an extent that there was a call for government that next time EU harrased about this death penalties, Iran should just open its border and let the drug flow to EU.

This may blow your mind but there’s other countries than the US. It’s crazy that I have to point this out on a post about Iran no less.

I didn’t mean you are american. I was making a point about level of history knowledge (fox news level)

No, OP is misinformed.

I shoudl have been more clear that I meant that those post started as propaganda to whitewash pahlavi regime. but yes, OP is misinformed and just repeat those porpaganda post unknowingly.

. The only (inept) propagandist here is you.

I have no idea what you mean by that. I am trying to do what exactly? what is the propaganda part I am saying?

you are mostly right. that is one of my flaws.

the point OP is trying to make or the implied overall picture the overthrow of mossadegh was before overthrow of pahlavi. it is not irrelevant.

OP point is retarded. they show women in miniskirt and then say wow before 1979 women where so “free”.

if you see syria and watch the propaganda and then literal theorists( recognized by the west too) there whitewashed by the west to get a tyrannical but subservient to west goverment there that can beat women and ban all alcohol and all those “freedoms” that had under bashar and you still think this retarded post are not propaganda I have no furthur point to make to you.

go watch fox news. it is better for you.

if it was not clear enough, let me say it: the OP post is retarded propaganda. and Israel level of propaganda at that.

have a nice day.

Maybe give Mossadegh more than a sentence in a wall of text next time?

I thought I was proving a point that mossadegh was before that sham parliment so your point about him rubber stamping order was meaningless.

now I see that I was not respectful enough when speaking about him and I should have written a poem about him, maybe?

if you don’t even know the order of historical events that happened , then please don’t insult me about my “reading comprehension”.

have a nice day. I am done replying to these kind of posts.

Mosaddegh just rubber stamped whatever the Shah wanted in your opinion?

wow. a history buff you are not.

mosadegh came to power as a prime minister after mashroote (conditional and limited king) ,he nationalized the iranian oil and UK got but hurt so they asked CIA to overthrow him in a Coup d’état.

btw that was the first time in history of the CIA terrorist org that they did regime change.

after that even a little independent parliament was not tolerated by shah and it was complete sham after it. he became a complete tyrant and created one of the worst dictatorships ever.

I was gonna say that the current goverment is not even close to that level but that would be an insult to the islamis republic (even with its retardedness). even saudi dictatorship is heaven compared to shah.

you can read the books that shah’s own men wrote about this after the ran outside of iran.

please be more informed in the basic of an issue and not be fox news level “expert”

I am one of those that are for death penalty for some crimes.

most of what of the list you provided are not official. some of them are true and I agree with them and some of them are true and I disagree with them.

absolute majority of the death penalty in iran is for drug smuggling (not using).

when USA invaded afganistan the heroine trade boomed and wrecked a lot of families in Iran.

so the penalty is justified in the eyes of most iranians.

never said never happened.

in my whole life living in iran the only stoning I saw was on a American drama movie about stoning a woman in Iran.

“equal rights in cases of rape” ?? what? you know Iran has one of the harshest punishment for rape which unfortunately they only define as rape of women (not men). so maybe you are a mens’ rights activist in iran??

“FrEE mArKEt caPitLIsm”

I am from Iran. whatever point you want to make about Iran with Pahlavi dictatorship, this aint it.

the parliament in Pahlavi era was literary just rubber stamp the king orders.

when shah (king) came back with help of CIA it reversed all the mashroote (conditional monarchy) progress and became a absolute dictatorship.

Iranian women condition are way better now than under Pahlavi (outside of dress code laws).

sorry to hear about trump fucking up your rights.

you are welcome human.

remember that you are just a meat bag. future is AI overlord. don’t ever forget your place/.

sure. I am AI itself.

btw okular has way more options that I like. like color palettes. but paper is way faster for browsing.

but that would be rude. I just wanted to promote an app that I quite like (it is faster than the kde app I used)
