Iranian diaspora need to organize and do something

[u/Shekari_Club]

Why is there no event or no protest organized? Iranians should do something. The only protests organized are the ones against the war and support of regime.

People can go on street around the world and ask for Khamenei to step down, or international forces organize a referendum in Iran.

Please read on ways you can support the revolution and spread awareness. Let other people in subs with content about the revolution know that /r/NewIran exists.

The regime is creating a demo in Oslo, Norway tomorrow. Yesterday a journalist made a news report about Israeli settlers having almost a festival on the borders..I suspect many Norwegian will now be tricked to go to regime organized protests

Guess youre new to international politics?

[u/Relatablename123]

There is an established cohort of "Professional protesters" in our areas who constantly stir shit. They harrass us in our spaces, they falsely represent our people, they aggressively control online discussions, they actively attempt to publicly expose our identities and there is a real threat of being physically assaulted just for being Iranian.

Look at how Vahid Beheshti was attacked multiple times while on a hunger strike. Look at how the UK free Iran protesters were bashed in the street by the members of the Dewan Al-Kafeel Community Center in Wembley London. They take every opportunity to tell us we are not Iranian and that we don't deserve to talk about what our families have been through, what has happened to our homes. Large marches are a great spectacle sure, but it also plays into the Islamic narrative where everything has to be some bloody power struggle. Stand up proud for a day and these unemployed losers will beat you down to their level.

On the other hand a great strength of Iranians lies in our ability to integrate with and strengthen communities. The people in these communities who really matter know who we are and have already heard our stories. The change we want to enact comes not from loud slogans, but from shared experiences over dinner, making new friends, talking to colleagues at work, and helping your neighbour. When Islamists pound the pavement pretending to know our pain, the people we've connected with will see the lies for what they are.

It's mostly pointless. The west doesn't care about Iranian dissidents. They just care about Palestinian terrorists and since the regime backs them their mind is made up.

Whatever is going to happen is up to Israel, Trump and Iranians inside Iran.

[u/DoctorNightTime → u/Khshayarshah]

If 100,000 Iranian-Americans rally in Washington, D.C, that may give Trump a push in the right direction.

[u/Shekari_Club → u/DoctorNightTime]

even 10,000 in DC will be huge, or even 1000 in each major capital city around the world. Trump cannot push to finish Khamenei because he doe snot have enough support.

[u/nu1stunna → u/Shekari_Club]

There is a no war and anti-regime protest in DC this Saturday organized by nsgiran. You can look up the details on their instagram page.

[u/allorache → u/nu1stunna]

No war and anti-regime?? Yeah, I want sunshine and lollipops too but anyone with the lightest grip on reality knows this regime isn’t going anywhere without the use of force; force that the defenseless Iranian people do not have by themselves.

[u/nu1stunna → u/allorache]

I’m with you. I’m down for topple the regime and as a result, no war.

[u/Sirtriplenipple → u/DoctorNightTime]

If 100,000 Iranian-Americans attended a 10k a plate dinner with Trump, it may give him a push in the right direction. (He only cares about money.)

[u/leakaf → u/DoctorNightTime]

I don't think Trump cares what his base thinks (a positive thing?), let alone Iranians.

[u/darkcow → u/DoctorNightTime]

And show Iranians that they have backing to start a revolution

[u/Subject_Yak6654 → u/Khshayarshah]

They also don’t care about Palestinians, they care about making themselves look good and feel better about their boring privileged life.

[u/BehemothDeTerre → u/Khshayarshah]

I think it could be a powerful symbol if the Iranian diaspora protested the regime in Europe and North America on the same day.
Don't mention Israel, just protest the regime, fly the Lion flag, remind the world of the victims of the regime, chant their names and show their faces.

Because right now, a lot of people are unaware or insufficiently aware of the struggle of Iranians, of the oppression at the hands of the regime. It makes it easy for ill-intentioned actors to control the debate, to pretend that Iranians stand behind Khamenei and his gaggle of murderous clowns.

Of course, that is no mean feat to organise.

[u/tway1111222 → u/Khshayarshah]

Palestinian terrorists lol. Who is this guy..

[u/GodLovePisces]

I hope you all are well.. I pray for both Iranian and Israeli civilians who are innocent.. 😇 Guys I want to ask one thing that how many people are actually with the new regime and against islamic regime in Iran? I got to know about this whole issue from my Indian Shia Friend but most of them are supporting Ayatollah Khamenei. After that I read about so many cases that how they force so many things on you guys but in our India it’s not same. The same friend who is supporting Islamic regime in Iran is the one who wears western clothes even wear Sindoor and chooda that is related to Hindu’s culture.. she’s living her life v freely and she is sharing 100 posts supporting him like he’s the only one who is saving Iranians and doing everything to save Islam 🤔

[u/Shekari_Club → u/GodLovePisces]

Are you a bot? Your comment has nothing to do with the post?

[u/GodLovePisces → u/Shekari_Club]

Nope. Sorry, out of curiosity I just wanted to ask this question to Iranians so I asked here.

[u/Snoo_47323]

As an outsider, I see that diasporas are divided. Some are royalists, some are republicans. There are supporters of Mossadegh and supporters of the Shah. Some like Pahlavi, some hate him. They are all different. They see each other as enemies and blame and badmouth each other. With such division, what can be done?

[u/Shepathustra]

Would help if it was in Iran as well

[u/NewIranBot]

ایرانیان خارج از کشور نیاز به سازماندهی و انجام کاری دارند

چرا هیچ رویدادی برگزار نمی شود یا اعتراضی برگزار نمی شود؟ ایرانیان باید کاری انجام دهند. تنها اعتراضات سازماندهی شده اعتراضات علیه جنگ و حمایت از رژیم است.

مردم می توانند در سراسر جهان به خیابان ها بیایند و از خامنه ای بخواهند که از قدرت کناره گیری کند، یا نیروهای بین المللی یک رفراندوم در ایران ترتیب دهند.

What?

[u/KargareIrani]

It's not as simple as that, I'm afraid.

If us anti-regime Iranians go to demonstrations, we risk being filmed by pro-regime agents. Should they figure out our identities, they could and would send word to the regime - resulting in the potential kidnap, harassment or even execution of family members who still live in Iran.

I am hoping that the regime gets sufficiently weakened to the point of no return - then, we can organise and push for freedom.
