At some point you have to just beat on these authoritarians. The only thing they know is violence. Sure, try peaceful protests first, but don't stop there if it's not getting the job done.
The paradox of tolerance -- those who break the 'social contract' deserve no tolerance from the otherwise tolerant, otherwise they'll just run roughshod over everyone. I hate violence as well and have no stomach for it, but it does seem there may be no other way to stop regimes like this.
As always, it's not that easy
First you would.do well to read up on the history of Iran, especially the involvement of the US in basically creating Iran as it is today.
Once you got that down, you have got to understand how religion and culture works there. Simply saying "kill the masters" won't work, we did that with Saddam Hussein and after wars and deaths, shit was and is worse.
A LOT more will be needed to change counties like these for the better, and simply talking about breaking the paradox of tolerance won't do.
Martyr or Murder there is no middle ground. The masters tools will never be used to dismantle his house.
First of all, I respect your point of view and I share your anger. That said, if there’s no middle ground then any bloody revolution will turn into another Reign of Terror. Peaceful revolutions are a fairly recent phenomenon and violent revolutions have historically been shifting the power from violent leaders to violent revolutionaries who themselves become violent leaders. There needs to be a middle ground otherwise, it’s just changing the meat we collectively put in the grinder.
