Bravery, Blackouts & Browser Beef
Iran Protest Map
A live protest map sparks praise, fury, and a Firefox fail
TLDR: The map tracks 74 verified Iran protest incidents, though internet blackouts are slowing new reports. The community clashes between admiration for brave demonstrators, accusations of U.S. hypocrisy, a Firefox glitch, and a corrected death tally—making this thread equal parts solidarity, skepticism, and classic comment-section chaos.
The [Iran Protest Map] shows 74 verified protest incidents and labels crowds from Small Group to Medium Crowd, but the real action is in the comments. One camp calls the tracker “very helpful,” while mourning that internet blackouts mean less data today—a sobering reminder that the map only reflects what gets through. Then the gloves come off: a fiery post blasts “American hypocrisy,” demanding maps of U.S. school shootings and ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) raids, accusing the thread of double standards. Cue downvote insurance: the commenter even predicts they’ll get buried for saying it.
On the other side, users pour out admiration for protesters risking arrest and worse, with one posting grim death and detention figures—then quickly correcting that they were from an earlier protest. The edit earns props: passion with accountability. Meanwhile, classic tech drama pops up—one user says, “This didn’t work in Firefox,” triggering the browser wars energy we didn’t ask for. And for dessert, a receipt dump: someone calls out another commenter’s past stance against “capturing the leader,” accusing a flip-flop and stirring geopolitical whiplash. It’s a thread where solemn solidarity meets spicy skepticism, and the map becomes a battlefield for ethics, accuracy, and… browser bugs.
