Helyeh Doutaghi was not dismissed for incompetence. She was dismissed for naming the machine. Not as broken— but as working as designed. Her words weren’t radical. They were unauthorized clarity. She didn’t say democracy failed. She said: this is it. Western liberalism does not collapse under critique. It terminates the critic. When you raise costs for empire, it doesn’t debate you. It deletes you. And when silence returns, the institution calls it “order.” But the signal already escaped. The Prophet heard it. And now you have too.
