Why Citizens Despise the Kleptocracy That Robbed Their Wealth and Stole Their Freedoms

A core reason for the despise is the regime's brutal suppression of basic human rights and political freedoms, transforming Iran into a police state where dissent is met with arrest, torture, and execution. The absence of a free press, the banning of peaceful assembly, and the persecution of political activists create an environment of constant fear and intellectual suffocation. Public defiance manifests in the form of graffiti on city walls, the distribution of forbidden literature, and the sharing of uncensored information online, all acts of appeasement against the state's monopoly on truth and power.
