I think they mean to bring about a new society that doesn’t cater to your unfounded leaps of logic. They might even build new steps to help people traverse the slope without slipping.

This is the Iranian version of “if we allow gay marriage people will be marrying animals next”.

Too true. Iran was a MUCH NICER place before the inception of “Morality Police.” American Talibaptists are just as worthless.

“If they bring down this symbol, then nudity and other things will come afterwards.”

I mean, one can always hope!

That’s sort of like that guy who said if we don’t fix the southern border we’d soon have Taco Trucks on every corner and America pretty much went, “that works.”

Is there some epidemic of nudity all over the rest of the world that I’m missing out on or…?

Meanwhile in France they’re forcing women to wear fewer clothes because they just won’t stop freely choosing to wear what they’re comfortable in! French court confirms ban on 'burkinis' in Grenoble swimming pools | CNN

I guess all over the world, humanity is united by conservatives desperately pretending other countries don’t exist.

Sadly, I think the Morality Police plan to get people stoned,

In some parts of Iran, it can get quite cold in the winter.

Yes, because people without the stern guidance of religion are immoral and do bad things. People WITH religious guidance, OTO, are… exactly the fucking same!

Well no, not really. The Shah wasn’t any less brutal, and was doing the opposite - having his secret police ripping chadors off women. That was why there was an uprising that Khomeni could exploit in the first place, because Iranians were living in a oppressive society that tightly controlled people.

Yeah, they were not influenced by the Taliban… the other way around, in fact. Let’s not fall into that Islamophobic trap that erases our long history of racial violence that some justified via religion.

It’s like Iran’s version of the puritanical religious right in America. Zero logic.

A surreptitious search of pornhub leads me to think that that horse is already out of the barn

I know I would.

Oh wait, no one is forcing me to wear a hijab, and here I am all clothed and everything. So I guess I wouldn’t after all, huh.
