What I wrote yesterday was in response to a talk where red lines different fractions of the opposition shouldn’t violate were discussed.
There was also another report intentionally broadcasted the same day about Russians reporting each other to the police. This has nothing to do with this. People should be able to write about their views. When some group’s activities can damage the entirety of a country, anyone can write about their views about that. This is not reporting other people, because it is not news. This is writing about one’s personal views.
Those who target the entirety of the country are not opposition. Oppositions are those who try to change the structure of a political system while not harming the entirety of that country. If a group pretends to be an opposition but tries to push the non-violent political combat with the regime into a civil war, all the opposition should react.
Iran’s regime tries to push me to support a particular group so they can claim that I supported those who I thought were damaging the entirety of the country. To stop me from standing against that group, they pretend if I object to that group I’m betraying the opposition as one entity.
What Iran is doing is that they try to persuade me to protect a group of people (whom I think have damaged and are damaging the entirety of the country) so that Iran won’t harm them. That’s a stupid plot. Iran’s security already considers Ahmadinejad as a troubling element, so things I say about him and others are not new to them.
I should also say, I don’t have a TV. I get my news from specific sources. So if someone says something and I wasn’t aware of that and didn’t react, that’s because I hadn’t heard of it. In these situations, things I wrote in the past should be referred to. Yesterday I saw a clip about the red lines and wrote what I wrote yesterday, then today saw the report about Russians reporting each other to the police and wrote about it today.
