    Well, they’re kinda busy right now getting bombed so I don’t think it’s a priority now.

    Like, sure, at first the blackout was due to repression, yes. But then after a while these two countries started bombing the crap out of Iran, so now it’s a slightly different situation.

    Let’s imagine you have two crackheads smashing your front door: are you gonna be worried about fixing the internet at that very moment?

      The Internet isn’t broken it’s turned off

      The reason its turned off was because of protests.

      Gives the regime a nice scapegoat to help turn the protestors anger at the US and external factors.

      The smart thing would have been for the US to quietly back the revolution and provide them with support to overthrow the regime. But here we are.

            Hey! Whoa! That’s not fair to claim that trumps book and the bussiness style employed in that book relates to this situation! That’s totally an unfair thing to say! After all, the guy who wrote that book has nothing to do with the way trump does bussiness!

    You know, i think i might learn how to set up ad hoc networks to prepare for this sort of thing. I know its essentially wartime there now, but without internet, its harder to transmit the truth from the eyes of the civilians. Fucking sucks whats happening there. Repressive government, but filled with people who simply want a life free of the conflict, the endless battles, various ethnic groups simply wanting freedom from those who have invaded and partitioned their people.

    This cant end well. . .

        basically if someone flees a revolution and goes to live in a western country, they’re the worst scum in the world. they seethe with hatred for their former countrymen and they want nothing more than to be placed in power by a US invasion, to put their boots back on the necks of the peasants once again. Not only should you not listen to them, you should be actively hostile to them. If the war causes a global famine (via fertilizer shortages) and it comes to it, you should eat them.

      They absolutely have internet.

      It’s just state controlled. So basically a national child safety lock. But they 100% have access the internet.

        Certain people in Iran also can access the internet to hack Western infrastructure, etc.

        By your logic Iran’s internet hasn’t been blacked out either because politicians there can still post announcements on Twitter.

          We weren’t talking about Iran? All infrastructure is hacked on a daily basis, weird propaganda post though.

    Approximately 0.1 years out of 3 billion years, truly a crisis. Precisely what people occupied themselves with for 3 billion years before the internet existed we may never know. Some claim they spent quite considerable time as single cell organisms, then multicellular aquatic organisms, until the species reached it’s apogee, a flabby orange real estate pedo fraudster.

      That’s a stupid time frame. Wouldn’t be so bad except nearly everything relies on the Internet now. Especially information.

        One thing that seemingly doesn’t rely on the internet is Iran’s masterful ability to make the American bullies look criminally stupid. It’s already hugely impressive, imagine what they could do with a bit of WiFi.

        lots of prepper fetishist weirdos in this thread who seem to think anyone who thinks electricity, plumbing, and internet is normal are ‘weak’.

        because apparently if we were ‘strong’ we would all be hunting animals and coking their carcasses over fires and sleeping outside… and communicating via smoke signal… lol
