Ebi’s song Tasmim urges boycott of [s]election
I’m glad an Iranian singer has decided to use their fame for educating Iranians.
The track’s chorus basically says that when you are choosing between bad and worse its no longer an election. Basically Ebi is saying boycott the [s]election.
There’s this idea that the reason Ahmadinejad came to power was because Iranians “boycotted”, um… according to the numbers released by the Islamic Republic, last term’s [s]election numbers certainly don’t support this idiotic assertion.
If you compare now the slogans of what Iranians are saying during protests and with what was said four years ago, you’ll definitely notice a shift towards more radical slogans. There are youtube clips floating around with people yelling “death to the dictator”, “revolution again, again” and “we women and men are are warriors, start the fight so we can end it”. Why is this significant, because many “experts” claim that Ahmadinejad has drastically stifled dissent, and yet we see an increase in the number of protests and more and more radical slogans being used.

The Iranian people are about to get raped, again.
This time they have a choice between gonorrhea and syphilis.
Perhaps it’s best to abstain from this theocratic orgy and void their vote.
