Losing their religion, state-imposed religions don't fair very well in the modern secular world, the state churches of Europe led to widespread atheism, but the religious freedom in America led to mass lunacy! Perhaps Iran is undergoing a similar process with its centralized state version of Islam. This sure ain't Russia, large families lead to younger populations and there is a large youth demographic in Iran and I'm not sure how much they control the internet, which has been around 30 years and they probably had it for the last 10 to 20 years. This discontent has been brewing for a while and the killing of a young woman was the spark that lite the fuel.

I think it might be one of those urban rural divides, religion is the cause here, in south and central America it about economic policy and indigenous rural people versus urban more European identifying people. In America the urban rural divide is mostly about made up culture wars and the domestic for-profit domestic disinformation system feeding them spin and pure bullshit.


Iran protests rage on in defiance of crackdown • FRANCE 24 English

11,073 views Nov 1, 2022 Iranians staged new protest actions to denounce the country's theocratic regime in defiance of a crackdown that is now seeing those arrested put on trial and facing the death penalty. Iran has for the past six weeks been rocked by protests of a scale and nature unprecedented since the 1979 Islamic revolution, sparked by the death in September of Mahsa Amini who had been arrested by the Tehran morality police.

Putin presented an alternative to the grain deal
Krasnodar grain can become an alternative to Ukrainian grain. The Russian region has harvested a record harvest this year, part of which could go to the poor countries of Africa, experts explained to URA.RU the results of the meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Kuban Governor Veniamin Kondratiev on November 1. According to political analysts, the situation around the grain deal makes the Krasnodar Territory a strategically important region already in the geopolitical sense.

Putin's meeting with Kondratiev and the conversation about the record grain harvest took place after a telephone conversation between the President of the Russian Federation and Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the situation with the grain deal. A little earlier , Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu held talks on the same topic with his Turkish counterpart Hulusi Akar .

As Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation Dmitry Patrushev said on October 29, in order to compensate for the drop in grain volumes, Russia is ready to supply the poorest countries with up to 500 thousand tons free of charge (the same amount, according to the agency, these states received in 3.5 months of the agreements - the rest of the grain went to Europe). According to Patrushev, the supply of Russian food is possible with the participation of "a permanent partner - Turkey . "

Russia is ready to provide grain for free to countries in need, and the Krasnodar Territory is the backbone of agricultural exports, Nikita Maslennikov, a leading economist at the Center for Political Technologies, said in a conversation with URA.RU. The region not only produces large volumes of food itself, but also has a "short arm" - the closest sea access to African countries. “The grain was loaded onto the ship, passed through the Bosphorus, and here it is - Africa. Everything is nearby. Given Russia's suspension of its participation in the grain deal, this initiative [on volume compensation] is logical. But the president understands that the help of the international community, including the UN, is needed,” Maslennikov said.
