awesome ! more than 2 years into genocide in Gaza and not a single word on HN. And now a fake news published by a zionist website (iranintl.com is financed and supported by Israel) gets on the first page ! so disgusting.
I heard the number was much higher than that, they massacred 6 million iranians during those protests.
I mean, this is the nail in the coffin, I'm removing my hacker news account, this is even worse than reddit in propaganda.
This is partially on America. Didnt Trump publicly encourage the protesters and promised that the help is on the way?
This is depressing because we will go to war over this and it’s going to be five years before people realizing they were tricked by “babies in incubators” propaganda.
The pervasiveness of propaganda isn't really surprising nor is it complicated to recreate especially with today's AI and especially with state actor-scale AI.
It really seems more like a test to see how gullible people are when presented with mass confirmation bias and no evidence.
Looks more like a civil war or an insurrection rather than peaceful protests every time the numbers are pulled up.
It seems protesting a dictatorship, of whatever kind, is pointless and dangerous.
Meaning, the people should be able to defend themselves against the violence directed to them.
36,500 seems awfully high. Did they just stand there? Those are numbers you'd see in a war, not a 2-day crackdown on protestors with small arms.
Be aware that all this might be the usual propaganda campaign that precedes US's "regime change" wars to make them appear as justified and necessary to the general public. This has been done so many times now that it's incredible people keep falling for it.
That number would inevitably lead to tons of videos with piles of corpses and cities covered with dead.
Like ones that appear when west-backed Julani killed Alawites. But there is almost no such content - only rumors, unnamed sources and documents no one bother to check.
