Nobody denies that thousands of people were killed in the January unrest; the Iranian government itself has stated that 3,117 people were killed in the violent clashes, including large numbers of security forces.
so-called “peaceful protests”, it was inevitable that people were going to be killed.
They made a classic blunder in fiction writing, as explained in a viral post that was doing the rounds on Tumblr a few months ago:
People have a variety of gripes with CJ. I used to hate on her for being a tankie grifter.
But personally I feel like she’s been pretty solid for a few years. She switched from being a tankie on ukraine to being a comrade on palestine. So I’m not such a hater anymore (although still somewhat skeptical).
The point she’s making is the point we always have made: propagandists lie, people die.
Irani got killed defending their speech, and the blood of the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is on his hands. Calling that inevitable is preposterous on her behalf. 3,117 people died defending their right to protest.
People trust schizophreniaCX?
CX to read anti-ableist
Hi what is your point exactly, it seems quite ableist but maybe you didn’t mean it that way?

Did you read the tweets in hallucinogenic contexts?
I have no idea what you are talking about.
She convinces herself often that people in Nazi platforms are real, when often the robots have been made to say whatever the Nazi wants.
Her journalist integrity is mixed, and is invested in authoritarian propaganda. It’s not the first time she does this. Denying Genocide aint good.
Could you try using someone else next time?
People don’t need to trust anybody.
But people should stop trusting fake numbers.
(PS I used to use the “CJ gotcha” too but it’s not really worth it when she’s making a good point.)
