In case you thought people protest in the metro/subway pf Tehran because it is somehow safe, here's another video from today when the oppression-enforcement attacked the people.

  Somehow this bit of antiauthoritarian feminist protests in Tehran today made me recall the "Battle in Seattle" (movie, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_in_Seattle) success against the WTO in 1999.

  2. Battle in Seattle
    
    Battle in Seattle is a 2007 political action-thriller film written and directed by Stuart Townsend, in his directorial debut. The story is loosely based on the protest activity at the WTO Ministerial Conference of 1999. The film premiered on May 22, 2008 at the Seattle International Film Festival. Plot The film depicts the protest in 1999, as thousands of activists arrive in Seattle, Washington in masses to protest the WTO Ministerial Conference of 1999. Protesters believe the World Trade Organization contributes to widening the wealth gap between the rich and the poor, while the WTO claims to be fixing the disparity and decreasing world hunger, disease, and death. The movie takes an in-depth look at several fictional characters during those five days in 1999 as demonstrators protested the meeting of the WTO in Seattle's streets. The movie portrays conflicts between the peaceful protesters and people committing property destruction whose actions were widely covered by the media. Although the protest began peacefully with a goal of stopping the WTO talks, police began teargassing the crowd...

  This from today reminds me of back at the start of the authoritarianism feminist protests in Iran continuing today, how "experts" speaking in worldwide major media and the regime insisted that it would "die down in a couple of days" and that it was "only a few extremists".
  Beheshti University, Tehran, today almost 2 months later, seems to disagree, hmm?

  A picture from the authoritarian feminist resistance today in Saqqez, hometown of Jîna/Mahsa Amini.
  I don't know who they are, but I love them with all my heart.

  I mean, look at the antiauthoritarian feminist protest at Beheshti University, Tehran, today.
  Almost anywhere else, the "authorities" would denounce that as "Black Bloc", but they just can't do that now, now can they? :-D

  I just have a special affinity for subway antiauthoritarian feminist protests in Iran, maybe due to my previous thread https://todon.eu/@b9AcE/108261530595284172 from before these protests.
  "Death to the dictator", at another metro/subway station in Tehran today.

    Attached: 1 video Video from the Tehran Metro (subway) near Agdasiyeh Station. "How beautiful. A world where violence, hatred of patriarchal ideas give way to the song, music, dance and song of rebellious women and girls to sow the seeds of hope, love and freedom in society." -KJAR, the Free Women's Union of Rojhelat (Eastern Kurdistan, Iran-held)

  It's kinda funny though, I think, that the Iran-regime keeps demanding women dress in hmm... "non-spectacular" colors, covering at least most of the hair, preferably all black.
  I mean... now with the extremely widespread protests for freedom, it's like...
  "Hi! No, we're not Black Bloc, we're just dressing as you demanded (wink, wink) and this is not a Molotov..."
  Seems a bit hmmm, "a bit inconvenient" for the repression. ;-D
