Religion is perfect for making normal people act like a bunch of sociopaths.
” Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.”

Lucius Annaeus Seneca. All it took was copying the line into Google. I’m surprised how often people forget that they can do this.
I tried to come up with a more palatable comment, and all I can think of to say is “fuck these stupid jackasses”.
Can you imagine your purpose in life being “the guy who makes sure people’s scarves are good enough”?
Oh they salivate for it. Some people will jump at any chance to be a fascist.

A more accurate interpretation: Can you imaginer your purpose in life being the guy who directly enforces oppression of women?
I mean that Iranian culture continues to support this.
It’s not just the men, it’s the women too. Otherwise most babies would be born from rape, which isn’t the case.
The men beating girls to death get paid and spend that money to please their wives, who in turn reward them with sex.
It’s a pretty simple concept.
Does this mean all of the protests from a few months back are done?
They’re probably banking on protesters not being able to use Twitter to organize.
If only there was a way to have Twitter like features spread across hundreds if not thousands of independently owned servers that could join together in a sort of union or federation, if you will, as they see fit for their purpose. Oh well, I guess I can dream.
It’s got to be hard to maintain the momentum once the government decides they’re fine with murdering the protesters. The Iranian government also let women go without headscarves for this long, I imagine as a way to let the temperature cool. They never intended to repeal the law, only let the protests disperse letting the protesters think they’d won that small concession.
"Morality police " rapists and co come up with the fanciest names for themselves.
