The Government in any country, can't fight the majority of it's own citizens.

retired star footballer Ali Daei and his wife and child tried fleeing the country couple years ago, because Daei is also very much against the current government and they were stopped from leaving at the airport

he also got beaten up few years ago as well and robbed of some of his jewelry

the police did nothing after that incident because he's against the government so basically the police there are also on the regime their payroll

I understand all of that, and I get that it's scary to take on authority.

But in a scenario like what Iran is currently in, you either live in constant fear that the Government will want you arrested over anything that they deem to be offensive to them (rather than on if it's an actual crime that's a danger to society) or you fight in the hope of living in a more free society.

I mean I know that we in the West don't really feel like we are given enough liberties in certain areas, but we're a utopia compared to this with Iran.

And that's not an attack on their regular citizens towards the end of my paragraph above, but how the country is being run.
