On: Tell HN: The Internet situation inside Iran

It’s a dangerous game.

That it is. When their society has reached a tipping point where women are burning their hijabs in the street in front of massive groups and cameras I think they have decided to not hide in the shadows and are willing to sacrifice themselves for what they believe in. Many of them are likely to have unspeakable things done to them. I suspect they know the sacrifices they are making and willing to take risks. Godspeed to them.

How insane is it that women are risking death by burning a hijab, and as you say 'willing to sacrifice themselves for what they believe in'.

LISTER: Do you mean they had a war over whether the doughnut diner hats were red or blue?

HOLLY: Yeah. Most of them were killed fighting about that. It's daft really, innit?

LISTER: You're not kidding. They were supposed to be green.

They are risking death for not challenging the status quo.
