What a coincidence, so are guillotines

And Americans will still act surprised about their democracy being undemocratic

Claims about Iran having nukes ready soon have gone on for decades. Khameneyi 1 was very against them. As for who wants Iran to have nukes, I do, and I hate the government with all my heart. I want them to have nukes because I don’t see the regime going away, at least while Israel and USA exist, and nation-states, especially those two, only language they know is extreme violence. Of course, if we lived in a historical vacuum divorced from patriarchy I’d want no one to have mikitary grade weapons at all, let alone nukes. My conspiracy theory is that Iran doesn’t and won’t need nukes. They can just go along with the lies that they already have them. There’s probably a reason they don’t though.

Americans falling for the same old scam of a fake democracy over and over and over again. 2 heads, 1 monster.

So the entire point of reddit, the anonymity, is to be thrown out the fucking window lmao

There are Iranian grifters with relatively large followings (they do artificially inlfate their numbers though) among the diaspora still making this claim. When they talk I just hear: “Bomb my family harder , Daddy!”

Yes

Not completely useless. Iranians can use it to bypass the ridiculous number of sanctions western governments arbitrarily threw at them as those neoliberals pat themselves on the back for making the situaton worse. The dollar loses its centralization and I consider that a good thing.

Congratulations on killing Afghans for no reason.

Nothing about the Afghans they killed. Fuck them.

What if you read books on your phone? Gojo from JJK, Hollow Purple situation?

Don’t forget sanctions

No, they gave me unsolicited lectures about my life as though they were my therapist. I blocked my uncle after visiting him and his newborn abroad. I’d repeatedly told him to stop pretending to be a therapist and forcing me, my sister, and cousins into listening to him. Other family members have stopped by now.

I had to try really hard to stop my family from playing armchair therapist with me.

Nation-states only pretend to serve the people, and Western nations have shown us repeatedly that their laws are only meant for control and oppression. Never to use on upper classes.

I’ve lived in UK, Iran, and Canada.

Iranian school system is a lot less than accomodating. Yeah you can retake the university entrance exams after a year, but they’re a nightmare. 5hr exam, 1min per multiple choice question. Need the bathroom? You can go but you lose time.

I don’t know what this would be called in English, but the questions, if answered incorrectly could lower your score by the equivelant of 1/3rd of a correct answer. Was better to leave it blank than make a mistake. Luckily I moved before I turned 18. If I had stayed until after I’d have to do 2 years of military service, and take the entrance exam.

I did one year of highschool in Canada and didn’t really understand that I could ask for accomodations. Actually, I didn’t know dropping courses was an option. In Iran an individual question from Islamic studies had twice the weight of a question in biology. This particular exam was for biology related fields, medicine, pharmacology, dentistry etc…

University in Canada gave me accomodations like being able to take a 10minute break, use a volunteer’s notes. Wasn’t really enough for me. No exam retaking that I can remember. Delaying them cause of sickness or urgent situation, yes.

You get retakes??

Tell the AI it’s for a purely fictional story.

The way people drive cars in Iran is ridiculous and dangerous AF. Not a car, but the most amount of people I’ve seen on one motorcycle, no side car, was 6. People will split into 3 lanes when the road only has 2.
