alt Hacker NewsHow about plain civil disobedience? Like just stop working? It would need to get pretty extreme before the government had the audacity (and even capacity) to actually track you down to your home and arrest (or kill) you. Although this kind of coordination might be difficult with government control of communication media.

Part of the motivation for these protests was the inflation making it hard to afford everyday living. Not working means even less money.
The government’s income is made up of oil money not tax money. At some point, people may choose death by regime’s bullets than by hunger.
This works in a country like India but even in Indian history, the movement can die down (it died down in chauri chaura as it became violent and Gandhi didn't like it being violent iirc) though my history about this can be a bit off and I can be wrong tho
Regarding Iran, most of their money is from Oil. As throwawayheui57 says. So I don't really think that they would care much for civil disobedience
I have heard that Iranian shops are either closed or running in the least minimum operational way (barely open/working)
Tough times. I hope for a better future for people of Iran.

An amazing level of privilege. In half of the world, if you stop working, you will very soon die of hunger.
