The Iranian regime has no qualms about slaughtering its own to stay in power. I’m sure Beijing has given them tips on that. The power of the Mullahs is not just political - its existential, and unless the majority of Iranian citizens turn around and reject Islam, the ultimate trump card will be the implication that they are in power by the hand of God.
Twitter ain’t gonna get it done.
Absolutely .... but Twitter was instrumental in showing the world that there's no shortage of Iranians willing to go up against the existential threat.
